Just wondering if someone can give me advice on what to do.

Ok here is the story.

I recieved a penalty notice today (19/11/05) in the mail, might of been in the mailbox late (18/11/05) and it states that at 10.15pm on 05/11/05 at Park Drive, Bondi Beach I 'disobey no stopping sign' which had a post date of 16/11/05 (11 days after the event).

now I don't remember doing anything wrong 2 weeks ago and I have been a careful driver for 12 years with only some minor speeding fines over the last 3 years. but never ran a red light or a stop sign or anything like that.

the notice states that I have to pay $175 within 21 days of the date of service. I presume this is the date I recieved the notice right?

Also if I was stopped in a no stopping zone(which I don't think I was) wouldn't they put the notice on my car instead of sending it by mail?

The only thing that might of happened is that bondi carpark turns into a 'no stopping' zone after 10pm, I don't go to bondi often, can anyone confirm this?

thanks for any information on what I should do.

now in the inner city and eastern suburbs it is common practice for a car with inspectors in it to drive to areas to check them, and if on the way they see illegaly parked cars they wont stop they will just write down the details and send the fine out, my dad has been caught for that at the end of my street in the same way :)

i cant remember about the carpark.

yaf28f, are you talking about the car park between the beach and the pavillion? (The car park with the boom gates). Or is it the carpark directly behind the pavillion with the walkway bridges?

Let me know exaclty where it was and I'll go check it out the signs alittle later today for you cause i live direct across from the beach.

thanks Archie.

Here is where I parked, it was only alittle past 10pm. so the time 10.15 might be right, but it was pretty scummy of them to give such a little leway and didn't even put it on my windscreen.

But I didn't see any boom gates there and had no problems getting out eastwards.

great map by the way, earth google?

hehe yeah, google earths pretty handy.

Didn't get a chance to have a look last night, but i'll swing by the carpark tonight, and take a snap of any signs for you to make sure. I actually thought there are parking meters in that area but i'm not hundred percent since I have a parking permit for bondi so i usually don't take much notice.

I'll let you know later tonight.

Sorry to break it to you dude, but if you were down there after 10pm then I have bad news for you... after ten it seems to be a no stopping zone... Unless you can get an alibi...

heres a few shots of the area.....

anyway, pm sent

Hey thanks for the time and help Archie,

I guess I'll just have to fork over the money and next time read the signs better instead of just paying the maximum parking.

Still don't understand why they didn't just put the ticket on my window instead of sending it to me by mail, they must be getting really lazy and just sitting at the exit and writing out details.

Hope there is no demerit points lost for "stopping in a no stopping zone"

I was in Bondi a few Saturday nights ago and i parked in the carpark that is at the bottom of the rd that goes up to the lookout.. A parking inspector car came past and the men politely told me that it was a no-stopping zone and that they write down everyone's number plates and send $175 fines in the mail. They told me that if i moved my car straight away they wouldnt fine me.. so of course i moved it.. but they fined everyone else there..

I believe that all the carparks in Bondi are no-stopping zones after 10, but i think they need better signs!

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
