Sorry James, thought mike might have told you about it... Not to worry tho, its been ajourned for a month or so, so if you want to help (and legal advised allows it) then there is plenty of chance.

But i'm not contesting anything the cops said, not even their report, i'm merely adding an account of events that happened out of view of the police.

I have been there before with different circumstance but something slightly similar few years back (not speeding). Basically the court system basically doesn't allow you to plead "guilty however extraneous circumstances", you are pleading guilty to the charges presented, or you are pleading not guilty to the charges presented.

There is no "guilty.. NOT" its more like "not guilty because...". Sounds pretty much what happened in this case. You will either have to plead not guilty and take the risk that if found guilty a charge will be recorded against your name, or pleading guilty and having the option not recorded as a conviction for being a traffic offence (which is possible)

In most situations (me included) people end up going most of the way and end up going for the latter. Police prosecuters know this too.

In your case there is the option of the cop reconsidering their position, you speaking to them personally and hoping they will drop the charges. Highly unlikely (and maybe not even possible these days as the laws have been changed.. i think it once was), as cops are stubborn buggers - but I think its possible. You can also take some legal advice and offer to speak to the police officer directly and talk over the situation in detail and offer to apologise. Sometimes the human approach may work. Really, again that comes to the cop and their own view on the whole thing. Are they the hard ass that believes that everybody should be punished (the traffic cop mentality) every single time, or are they more reasonable (most beat cops who may be doing traffic duty are like this).

I'm abit baffled tho, The charge sheet ways speeding over 130 and dangerous driving. and has a account of the events from the cops.

Now the judge said that my account of the events was not the same as that of the police hence is not a plea of guilty to the charges and the police stated. But i'm not contesting anything the cops said, not even their report, i'm merely adding an account of events that happened out of view of the police.

Welp... That's well and truely out of the league of anyone on here unless they have been to law school.

You're right. Time to go get legal council and some proper advice.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
