Not complaining but I need to vent my frustration. I forgot to pay rego on the skyline (I could've sworn i paid it but i've checked my accounts etc and I missed it). $590 fine straight away. I just paid the rego ($620) and will put the fine on installments but isn't it a bit steep to fine someone $600 bucks for this? Drink driving is less in some cases and crossing a red light etc etc

i understand it has implications (e.g. with insurance etc) but if they see a genuine case they should let me off with a warning? Great driving history and always paid rego etc etc :)

Ruined my weekend + overseas trip im taking shortly, gotta sell stuff off now!

Catching a cab and leaving my baby on the freeway = extra fail :domokun:

btw this was on the eastern last night 4:30 am in the booze bus area in case someone saw me :)

Man, i feel your pain, i had the SAME thing happen to me. had no idea rego expired 2 days, and got done going over west gate bridge, had no clue it expired, mummy didnt let me know haha. Sux man, 550 for a honest mistake. But i didnt catch a taxi. i kept on driving home.

meh, I never look at the date of expiry on the sticker, I just wait until Vocroads sends me the new one, then pay.

Of course that doesn't work if the idioots at vicroads haven't transfered your car into your name when you bought it. Apparently there was something they couldn't read on the form, so it goes into the too hard basket, and they don't tell anyone, not you or the previous owner. So if you buy a car and the y transfer it OK, you hear nothing, if they don't transfer it, you hear nothing. Brilliant.

As I don't drive it much, I never thought about the rego, until I got pulled over (only 5 min from home), It's a nice big fine, but I was 10 months out of date, so it was pretty much the same as the years rego I'd missed. I just had to pay for a RWC to get new plates, which I got done as part of the sevice the car was booked in for. The broker we bought the car through sorted it all out for us (relocated car home, went to Vicroads etc), so I didn't have to do much.

geez it's not like the expiry date is on your windscreen or anything huh?

fair enough if you forget, but a few months later i think is inexcusable.

shit form for them not driving you home though! that sucks.

Mate, even after coping a 550 fine, i still dont know when the expiry date of my rego of my car or truck is. If i get a letter, i pay, if i dont, i presume its valid.

I fined 2 people yesterday for having expired rego label affixed. $119 fine now days. Their labels were more than 2 years old.

Also caught one guy speeding who had just left the court and had the paperwork showing that his license was cancelled. Some people will never learn

its actually not that hard to forget ... I don't usually forget any bills but this one skipped (moreso because i was 100% I had paid it, till i checked my statements etc). As i said, not pissed off at getting fined, just the fine compared to how much a red light crossing fine is (yes I was 2 months overdue, but it would've been the exact same for 1 day over). And ofcourse at the "treatment" I got afterwards.

anyway, can't argue with the cops :] it only makes it 10x worse. Let them do their job and get it over with ... they have a license to do anything they want :whistling:

*me*: You guys can atleast be nice and drop me to my car instead of making me walk in the fkn cold ffs

*cops*: Shut up and open your hood.

lol

There is no excuse the law states that the driver is meant to make sure that the vehicle they are driving whether it is their own or not is currently in registration. If you get in the car and not know if it is registered then its your own fault if you get caught as you will be in a world of hurt if you kill someone in an accident and not covered by TAC.

So they were paid up and just left the old sticker on?

lol..morons

and you actually fined them? as if not be like hey man take the stickers off or else..unless they were junkie scum your posts often seem to either a) lack information that would make you think yeh fair enough or b) just clearly demonstrate how bad the police force's focus is...

Good to hear, I'm sure expired labels don't cause accidents / deaths. I used to laugh at all the cop hating posts because most of my experiences with the po po were decent (even though I got fined for exhaust etc, I was happy cuz we know that can happen anytime :) ) but this incident has left a pretty bad taste in my mouth.

Hopefully its a once off thing and doesn't happen again (not the fine part ... the not getting a lift back etc part lol).

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
