Is it just me or something but i really hate Footscray, two weeks ago i got a fine for waiting for a parking spot (apparently your not allowed to stop on that street for any reason) :mad: and i come back to my car yesterday to find a small dent right in the center of my passenger side door :rant:. WTF don't people give a sh!t about other peoples property anymore, i'm always careful when i open my door regardless of what make/brand/age of the car next to me and i'm especially careful when it's windy i actually hold my door ti make sure it doesn't swing from the wind. So be warned becareful where you pull over in Foots as there are cameras which fine you.

does anyone else hate Footscray or any other street/area for what eva reason.

its any area nowadays, people dont give a fuck about anyone else's property

like recently my oldre brother was hit from behind in his work ute, the guy that hit him tried to blame him for the accident, then left false details

it was only lucky that he got the guys rego.... when the insurance called him at work he said no-one by that name worked there, but when the cops called funny how there was a guy by that name

How can you hate somewhere and the rules if you are the one breaking them? :blink:

Put car in no standing zone, get fined = fair enough.

Reason is irrelevant.

But to get a fine for waiting for a car to leave, to me isn't fair. The guy was in his car driving out of the parking spot, if i stopped and was waiting for someone to come back to their car than fair enough. Camera's in those back streets are only for revenue raising, council's are looking for new ways to make money.

I wouldnt say breaking the law unless waiting for someone to come out of a parking spot is illegal, is it??

If the area is signed as NO STANDING, then that's exactly what it means - NO STANDING!

There is no excuse you can use. It's like making up a reason for doing 65 in a 60 zone to get out of a speeding fine.

Or being in a clearway and 3mins after the signed time, you have a fine & car is getting towed.

Whilst a lot of stuff is harsh - ye, they are road rules.

Melbourne is just shit and thats that.

Having been in europe for a while now and seeing everybody do what they want without consequences and without mayhem breaking out makes you see how sheltered and exploited we citizens are.

But yeah no point whining about it on the internet.

Well it is now, fine was on Byron Street Footscray. Didn't know i had a fine until my mum yelled at me for it (she's already paid it). For now on no more street parking.

Also there's white paint from the other car on my door where it hit, what brand of cut and polish should i buy also what strength?

Quite the draconian society you depict there...Not far from the truth when it suits those who benefit from it most.

Indeed it is, and i think it's ridiculous.

But at the end of the day that's how it is, and it will never change.

Australians simply don't give enough of a shit to change this type of thing.

Everyone bags the French, but look what happened when they wanted to up the retirement age, they rioted!

We need that kinda passion here, but being a young country and so multi cultural, it'll never happen.

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
