hey guys

just wondering if you could help me out a bit as i recieved a traffic fine on my way home to melbourne about a month and a half ago.

the cop was fairly nice about it all and when i got home and actually looked at the ticket he hasnt signed it and also put the wrong address on the ticket.

as far as i know this makes it void as its a legal document and needs to be completed properly.

am i correct in thinking this?

thanks for your help guys

I got booked 7 yrs ago in my R33 GT-R doing 63 in a 50 zone.

Policeman put down the rego no. of the 1-tonner in front of me, instead of my plate (GTR33Z) & did a typo on my Lic no. too.

I fought it in court, citing a technicality. The policeman was there also.

Judge said, "So whilst the details were wrong, were you a driver that was pulled over?"

"What exactly is your number plate?"

"Hmm... was the car you're driving one of these Nissan GT-Rs then?"

After telling the truth, the magistrate said, "You're fine will still stand..."

The copper told me outside court that if I'd fibbed a couple of times, I would have got away with it.

I don't regret telling the truth though. At least I can lie straight in bed.

http://www.strangepolice.com/content/item/16799.html <- amusing, but unfortunately, a ticket is a ticket. rego + speed, irrespective of whatever else is on there is proof enough.

I love that story, i posted it on my FB, so good!

My son here on SAU, just noticed a policeman taking pics of a car parked the wrong way on a thoroughfare.

I didn't know that you could be booked for that, until I looked up Rule #208(2)

Other ones to consider too are...

Rule #197 - Not to park on a nature strip

Rule #208 - Not to park within 3m of a median strip or double lines

State Gov't short of money?

Ahem...

Those fines have been around a long time. You can also be booked for running through puddles and wetting pedestrians.

And if the Gov't don't make money through people paying voluntary taxes, they'll make everyone pay them compulsorarily.(sp)

you probably could have got away with just not paying it and the RTA would have been on a wild goose chase to figure out who to give the points too etc..

Hey! That used to be my plate! GTR33Z was on my midnight purple beast (B&W premium plates).

And believe it or not; but whilst driving that R33 GT-R with those plates once and then being pulled over for doing 60 in a 50 zone, the policeman also did a typo and wrote the wrong rego plate on the ticket. LOL

Those plates are publicity-shy perhaps??? :/

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
