Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

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.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • 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.
