$100 for a parking fine rip off


At my old trade school the parking fines werent enforced by the council so if u didnt pay nothing would happen and if u kicked up a stink theyd just say dont worry about it [emoji23]

And the fact that the only person you're inconveniencing is poor Alicia who works behind the desk. She's actually got a face, unlike the faceless organisation you're trying to annoy.

Hate council fines.

Last one I got was for parking at Mordialloc Pier, going to the meter to pay and it saying Out of Order. Took a photo of it, went to the beach for 45 minutes, came back to a ticket on my car (and 3/4 of the dozen cars parked near me).

Rang them up the next day to contest it, saying that their meter was broken and all I got back was "We don't have a record of your name reporting the meter fault yesterday between 5:00 and 6:00pm". Was given an email address to contest the fine, response I got from my email was that I could take it to court if I wanted. Which they know is not viable to do over an $80 fine, they just deliberately make it hard to contest even if they know they're in the wrong, because its easier to just pay it... Congratulations dodgy parking inspector, even if 3 or 4 people do successfully contest it, they've still for $500 in fines for the afternoons work.

 

TL;DR:  Leigh, put a hundred dollars worth of coins into a sock and start swinging it. You'll get better results. Snap chat it for the lols.

Yeah but Alicia works for the council, so f**k Alicia. 

 

But yeah if your case that's pretty f**ked, I'm just annoyed because I was like 10 mins over or some shit, and the only reason for being there was for work visiting a customer. Should just add it to their bill lel

Question: if i was to pay a parking fine with my piggy bank, 100$ of coins can they refuse payment if i rock up to the councils office and pay in person? The reminder noticed stated that I can pay in person. Ric? 

Appealed it now, will see what they come back with if not they'll get some coins and a turd on their doorstep 

as already noted, they don't have to accept it

Yeah, there goes that idea :( 

I can still leave some eggs in my car and next time I see the guy ;) (possible, often there)

Birds, Moh and Borci all got GTR's.... odie, greg, johnno, pat all got skylines. only one evo around, and its pretty much for sale. 

Balance has been brought to VWL. now just need balance to return to oil prices.

 

Birds, use 88E profits to make your GTR look better (offsets arent the strongest, but dat dish. also a bargain for classic 5 spoke wheels. mental money for OZ or Koenings):

I may be talking shit but I think there is actually a parking fine defense for situations where you were working and got held up for reasons outside your control etc. if you can get a letter from the client. Falls in the same category as car broken down and unable to move it. I remember reading something about that long ago when I was contesting.

I always contest if there's the slightest loophole available. Stonnington of all councils let me off one because I looked like I had tried to do the right thing and pay for my parking (was a 15 minute max shopping zone and I thought it was the paid parking per hour zone).

Glen Waverley's council, Monash or whatever it is, absolute dream boats...a truck was blocking the only sign that said the whole 100 space carpark had a time limit to it, so I never saw it and they didn't accept this as an appeal to the fine. No other signage in the whole lot :(

Anyway, the point is, 88e prolly cost you more money than the parking fine.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
