a "mate" of mine got a parking ticket 2day and got a little pissed off becaues as he was approaching his car the parking police women was writing out the fine. after saying a few kind words to the police women, he got in his car was while he was leaving he spun the wheel of his car (and knows now that it was a stupid idea). can the police officer do anything? like send a fine for neg driving or anything?

Im a little confused with what Im about to say, so dont take it as gospel. But I think if you actually hop into your car as the inspector is still writing you a ticket and drive off they cannot give you a ticket. You have until they push the button [on the electronic ticket processors] until that ticket is vaild.

Again, Im not sure if that is entirely true or if it just applies to certain states. Thanks Ray Martin and your 'special investigation' into parking tickets a few years back on ACA. :(

if that was parking inspector---

a. yes you will get parking fine if she already wrote the ticket

if that was Police officer

a. yes you will get parking fine.

b. possible to get charged with "reckless driving or Creating undue excessive noise"

c. or if he said kind word like "F*CKING HELL YOU #@$% #$^#$^ $#%$^& @#$%" charge with verbal assault and interfering of carry out her (police) Duties...

LOL, be more clear about the situation so we can tell you.

cheers

they will definetly mail it to u if you drive away while they are writing it, it happened to me a maquarie uni about 2 years ago.

also my dad got a fine in the mail for stopping in a no stopping zone at haymarket, he was in the car, and he saw the woman writing it out from across the road!!

so if they are writing it out and u are not successful in talking them out of it... just take it with u..

Your points B & C aren't really true. She can't do anything unless she had a reliable witness (i.e. another officer). I speak from personal experience.

yeah its true (in qld) when the officer is writing out the ticket thats it. If you drive off, expect to see it in the mail.

A funny story, a few years ago my mate was at uni and he was late for a lecture so he parked in a spot where he didnt have a proper permit and he put a ticket that he got a week before under his windscreen wiper so it looked like he was already booked. It didnt work lol....

well I got a parking fine from the council, I parked in a no stopping area and there were some council guys in a yard and a month later I got a reminder letter about the fine.

So the guy will get a fine, I'm not sure if a parking inspector can fine for bad driving but what you could expect is a dearer parking fine for it, or a couple of fines.

I don't really think you could talk them out of writing out a fine, as they probably wouldn't make some quota that some places have you get some extra money for it, that was on ACA.

you'll find it hard to get out of the fines as parking fines are a cuncil thing and not a police thing, so you'd have to deal with the local cuncil and they'd probably just take it to court etc to get extra cash out of you.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
