It does sound like wrongful impoundment. Whilst fighting it will still result in the car physically being impounded for those seven days, your mates be eligible for a suspended sentence and thus a little more leniancy next time.

As I said, the phisical impoundment isn't that much of an issue it's the first impoundment offence I'd want removed.

Isnt the first type 1 offense not an impoundment? And I spent a few hours reading over the legislation when it came out and I am fairly certain that things like low and loud are not on the list of things that can get you impounded unless they are in the context of somthing like racing, burnouts ect. I would be contesting it too, sounds like a case of police throwing shit and seeing what will stick.

Pretty sure it's the other way around Bunts. First Type 1 is 30 days impoundment and first Type 2 is 7 days impoundment. Let me get googling.

So, if they were all on their second defect then that would make sense... Nothing to do with the line

Seems that way, although they may have used that as the excuse to pull them over.

Well by that definition they were too low so they get done for a type 2.

It does Mike.

However, the problem I see here is that none of us here except for Kiwiphil were present and cannot make a full conclusion unless you have all the necessary facts.

It is possible the cop stuffed up

It is possible that the cop didn't stuff up

I have question though......

Say the police officer was in the wrong and you wanted to fight the offense / infringement

What would be the procedure and would this involve the requirement to be represented by a lawyer / legal representative and associated costs?

I wish I could find the info I mined last year on all of this, Tony was right, I got them backwards I always do. There was something in the "prescribed sections" that made it really not as bad as it sounds. You have to did through 3 separate pieces of legislation but eventually you get all the info you need.

Seems strange that all of the people pulled over would have been on their second offense

I believe you have to request a court hearing and then bear all the associated costs. If you show the cop made a mistake you may get costs awarded to you but then again you may not.

So again it comes down a commercial decision doesn't it?

Costs vs benefits

I will most likely make a visit this week to my friendly QMR dept for the Ant-Eater.

    • Nah, nothing formal, just open track days. Mostly small and tight circuits but I would like to get back out to Eastern Creek at some stage.
    • What type of track driving will you be doing?  Do you have a set of class rules you need to abide by that will limit your rim / tyre width?
    • I've been reading a lot lately about unsprung weight and how beneficial it can be to reduce it for driving on the track, given my semi's only have another day or two in them I am throwing around the idea of some lighter wheels and a square set up. I have 265/35/19's and 245/40(?)/19 Federal 595's at the moment. The wheels and tyres are super heavy. I looked up my wheel weight online and got 14.5kg naked. Not sure if this was 8.5 (front) or 9 (rear) but that's a lot. I have also been reading about the benefits of a square setup. Much better rotation and potentially less understeer.  When I throw these together I'm thinking about a 17x9 or 18x9 square (preferably under 10kgs per wheel) with 245 or 255's. I can get some cheap 17x8.5 BMW M Sport wheels, they weight 10.5 kg's each but at 8.5 wide could probably only get 245's on them? I know they come with 255's from factory but semi's are a bit chunkier. Otherwise it will be aftermarket wheels in a 9" width. Most of the other BMW wheels are heavy unless you pay a squillion dollars for some M wheels.  Although, the E46 M3 Style 67's could be good but I'd have to buy 2 sets to square them up.  My car has a tickle over 400hp and about to put an LSD in also, is 245 a little thin for a square setup? It kinda feels that way to me. Also, is there any tangible benefit to having 18's over 17's? Is the footprint demonstrably bigger? From those of you who went to light(er) wheels after heavy buggers, did you notice it much?
    • Start with the R32 GTR wiring diagram. The ECU is essentially the same, so the pinouts are good. The details around ECCS relays, etc might differ a little bit, but the reality is that you need to get ignition power to kick the ECU so it powers up the ECCS relay which brings the rest of the ECU up. This also gives power to the other circuits that are needed to make the engine run, like the ignition coils, etc. All of this is visible on the R32 diagram and should give you a strong guide, even if it's not quite the same as the R33. As to specifics - I'm pretty sure no-one can help you from afar, as there is no way to know what mistake or omission has been made in connecting stuff up. It always turns out to be "LOL, I shorted something and an entire wire vanished out of the loom", or "We never connected X or Y main connector", or "shit, you mean I need to have that fuse installed?".
    • hello wanted some insight on what my problem could be so i swapped a RB26DETT into my r33 gtst used a R33 GTR engine harness and im using a haltech platinum pro. The car cranks but no start the ecu isn’t getting any power now im trying to find out why i cant seem to find any schematics  or diagram for the engine harness for the r33 gtr anything helps thank you.
