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!!!

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!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
