$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.

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
