Waverley Council Penalty Notice

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!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.

      Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
