Speaking of parking, got 3 parking tickets in November (only finding out about them a few weeks ago because they had flown or were removed from the car) when parking at Essendon Airport long term. I called up the council saying I have receipts, why was I fined so many times? they said "we have photos here of your car with no ticket displayed" "that's because it's a ticketless parking system in the long term area!" goddamn inspectors are muppets. They must have fined every person in the car park.


That's stupid even for a council.

f**k that's harsh :(

His letter back was hilarious. Said next time he'll try to throw coins into the coin slot of the parking meter as he's driving past to meet their requirements of having a ticket before you park

Haven't used my Eastlink/Citylink pass on my own cars in a long time, and now im using it again seems to drain funds pretty damn quick. no tag = photo numberplate recognition thingy, price is 0.75c per trip (thought it was cheaper... used to be 0.25c on Eastlink).

Anyway, reading about the tolls roads... It hadn't ever occurred to me, that if you buy a 24-hour citylink pass, its a flat rate for 24hrs. But if you have a tag and use it three or more times a day its more expensive than tagless... and when Transurban was told about this they said people can remove the tag and get a pass if they like (but passes are limited to a certain amount per year. What bullshit.

Wasn't citylink supposed to be paid off and toll free 20 years after being built or some shit

Yeah I don't think a single modern toll Rd in Australia has actually switched to free.
Still shits me the transurban CEO is on like $2.3mil a year and pays more tax than the company itself.

What's is Transurbans taxable income?

Alot of the media sensationalise Corporate's paying no tax because they publish revenue figures not profit figures. 'XXX' company males $1 billion a year in revenue but pays no tax. No shit maybe because they are in a net loss/taxable income loss.

my no idea review shows

2083 M Revenue

1526 Mill EBITA

174 M Profit after that

35 M tax credits

 

for a net real profit of 209 M

So looks like $174M taxable income $52M income tax expense for the 2017 FY

 

2016 comparative shows a tax loss and therefore no corporate tax paid

Something along the lines of high debt business writing off debt owed or repayments or whatever...
But yeah, I know media talks things up

Writing off a debt on revenue account means that previously the other side of the 'debt owed' would have been recorded as income.

 

So fair enough if your never going to get it the income previously recorded should be 'reversed' against.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
