Wheel clamps are definitely a problem now, but as mentioned above, it's nothing an angle grinder can't fix :) I'm sure a few of us would be willing to pitch in if someone were stuck.

I think most of us have had bad experiences with parking inspectors around the CBD and northbridge. Driving our cars will nearly always attract the inspector with even more of an attitude.

I recently had an issue in perth where I had parked in a 15min spot on king street and the a**hole began screaming abuse (progressively getting louder) at me once he saw me unlock my car and then continued printing his ticket. I didn't bother giving him the satisfaction of an argument, I just jumped in and drove off and never ended up receiving any mail regarding the issue or being reminded for payment of any kind/amount by fines enforcement.

The fact is nearly all of these guys are so depressed with their own lives working a shitty job they hate because they have no f*cking direction in life or the inclination to do anything worthwhile with their time, they find the need to inconvenience people with real lives and jobs :)

:werd: :werd:

If i could get the smiley "werd" to work i would have put it here Jengus... well said, of pure boredom in their general job when someone is out of line they reallly snap at them even for being 5 mins overparked...

i guess if you picture yourself being a garbage cleaner.... if someone threw litter down on the ground you would want to rip their head off! i guess it relates to job specificity...... just petty things can set them off in their boring job.

thing is u dont want your wheels clamped  

im not sure why they put a fine on some cars and clamp others in the same carpark maybe they run out of wheel clamps or they put the fine on and clamp you later?

When u get a fine initially they take your rego, and when they go round checking cars, if they have taken your rego previously, and you have fines outstanding, they clamp you.

Apparently people have been trying to shut down the clamping through legal means with no success (i think they have some influential people connected to them), especially seeing that similar attempts in the east have been successfull in the eastern states...

Umm nothing can really be done if it's in a private car park, that is it just costs to bloody much for them to enforce it.

There is the wheel clamping thing. Now to get around this you cut the padlock off and REPLACE it. No criminal damages done.

If anyone can find a precedent for this in WA I'd love to hear it.

      Blue slip

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
