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!

    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
