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.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
