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!

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
