Many moons ago I successfully appealed saying I needed to get to school :D

Depends vu, did u get done going over 20 kph ? ;\ the difference in speed is a factor here (Hence his $400 odd fine rather than $200)

-D

Usually first appeal will be passed no matter what the case. You can't appeal twice in 5 years. END

Trust me... I've been stung for already having appealed once in the previous 5 years and my appeal was because i didnt have P plates displayed... FFS. 11 months to go.

a guy i know got done twice for that weezy and he doesnt even have a license cos of it!! im sure hes learnt/learning his lesson

i have a mate at work that has been putting off paying his $1000(40kp/h total) fine lol for about 4-5 months as he bloody knows hes gonna lose his license and hes going to canada in november the cheeky bugger so he will have extended or loss of license but be over there so its sh*t all to him!!

Any consiquences won't be progressed untill the fine has been payed though is that correct?

how do you explain people that pay their fines off and when you receive your point information the exact date to which the offence happened is on there

Im sort of in the same boat as of late last week, got a speeding fine in the mail 58 in a 50 zone so was only 2km/h off losing my P's. 1 Month before i could go to P2 aswell but i can go for my P2's on the 7th and fine is due on the 9th so im just gonna get my P2's before i pay the fine and see what happens and hope for the best

how do you explain people that pay their fines off and when you receive your point information the exact date to which the offence happened is on there

Peeps are getting a little confused here.

The date & time of the offense is what is taken into consideration when applying appropriate penalties, HOWEVER

the delaying of a fine payment or the set date of a court appearance may have an effect on when your term for loss of licence commences, it has no baring on the nature of the penalty though.

Make sense now :rolleyes::laugh:

Its a little strange that he came to your house and didnt pull you over straight away. Id ask for the photo evidence.

This is true, take it to court and ask for proof of speed/location and what not... He obviously saw you, estimated that you were speeding / used his speedo to see what speed you were doing (in which case he was speeding too) i think in a court room you'll still get pinged tho, should have asked when speaking to him.. Although in court theres still no proof, your word against his, might work... If not, tell them you need it for work. Also get a garage door with remote opening.. Could have pulled straight in behind it and put it down :cool:

^^^ there doesn't need to be any proof, but I am pretty sure that they have to tail you at your exact speed for 200m before they can ping you. How could he have done this if he was presumably quite along way back and you never noticed him.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
