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??? :/

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
