So today I receive on my window from Mr Councilman a $170 fine. I was parked in a free council carpark.

Offence: Stopping on or near a pedestrian crossing (except at an intersection) - does this mean we can park on intersections with a crossing in Brisbane???

I will be checking if there is any warnings upon entering the carpark tomorrow about fines, rules, regulations about parking there. As I'm pretty sure fair trading says there must be adequate signage warning penalties.

Anyways do I stand a chance to fight it as i wasn't parked on a pedestrian crossing, it was a foot crossing (will also check if these are marked and signed) and I don't believe the paint on the road is a crossing of any sort as it leads nowhere.

I have seen fines issued in this carpark for parking in disability areas without a permit but never on these white lines, plus no fines on cars for parking in non carpark spaces and the middle of the carpark, or grassed areas.

Do these fines go to SPER as the back of the ticket says so, but it may be a ploy to make people pay the fine.

$170 is BS........ any help be great thanks!!!

what's the definition of 'near'?

Usually 4-6 meters as judged by the parking "police"

So what it really means is whatever makes them the most cash to fill their quota baby!

All good, spoke to a lawyer and sent in dispute for it to be withdrawn as it there is no signage at all which goes against Fair Trading Act and Australian Consumer Law.

I've got a similar complaint going through, no picture evidence, but they 'claim' the car was never moved....it actually was to run an errand and parked back in the same 4P spot. Waiting for BCC to supply the Tertiary degree for the parking officer pertaining to his expertise in vehicular forensics that led him to confirm the car had not moved. A chalk line doesn't cut it, I've still got a chalk line on the car 2 weeks later that looks fresh!

      Rebuild vs second hand NEO?

      By Butters · Posted

      10-15 years ago, the answer would always be buy a good import motor and so many machine shops make.a hash of an engine rebuild, or they think they are some sort of RB magicians and want 40k.      Now as others have stated, you are buying a VERY old used motor. So rebuild is the correct answer.  Just finding a machine shop that will both do a good job and charge you a regular price is now your challenge.

      SOLVED   simple solution. After wrecking by brain, i ended up jist giggling everything i could. At one point last week I noticed that the left side signals shut off for a split second. I wasn't sure what triggered it. I spent time cleaning up wiring, re-wrapping and adding DT connectors to my IC7 stuff. I bought a new hazard and stalk hoping that would work. The stalk did fix some function issue but not the steady on. Hazard didn't fix it. I started just tracing everything. Once I got to the engine bay I notice my engine harness was droopy. I started moving it and the signals flickered. Come to find out that the starter + turned off sigmals when it grounded out on a bolt I have a Wiring Specialties pro harness so I'm not sure if this is specific to it. So it should work proper once I hook everything up   20240511_190033.mp4

      Both of those things are on my to do but not quite in a position to do that just yet until I can at least get it running back to stock. Going to work on getting the exhaust manifold gasket and studs replaced first, an obvious need it now. Then I'll try out the new maf and see hownthat does. After that I'm thinking cas if I'm still having the same issues. Still need to run the fuel out and refuel I'll change the fuel filter tomorrow along with cleaning the iacv with carb cleaner. If all else fails I'm going to get a serial port and see if I can get some sort of data on what the ecu is seeing when the issue is happening but really hoping one of the methods above work out first. After I get a good base I'm going link but have to save for that so it'll be a while for that based on my tuners suggestions. Definitely need the exhaust leak fixed first though car has always fallen flat after about 4-4500 rpm since I've had it and suspecting that's the issue. Then I can move forward with the rest.
