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??? :/

    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
