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.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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.  
    • 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
