Hi all...

Been given my sisters lil N13 Pulsar to drive around atm till the skyline is back on the road.. 1 word NO GUTS!

anywas.. was heading along athlon towards woden alst night, across the drakeford lights, and they turned orange... i put my foot down to make it across realising the car wouldnt go..(difference in power) and by the time i realised i aitn gonna make it in good time.. it was too late to stop as of wet conditions..

As i just crossed the lines coming out of the intersection, the light went red.

Got pulled over all the rest.. slapped with a $230 fine and a loss of 3 demerits..

On the actual infringment notice, its got the car i was driving was white (The car is cream) aslo it says my licence expiry date it 24 Jan 1985. "WHAT THE"

So, do you recon i can get out of this, as the ticket cant be valid as of false information????

Thanx all.

B)

they're actually cracking down on that these days. it used to be that if the ticket had one piece of in-correct info on it, you could get out of it, but it has since changed. i think that if your licence number is correct and the infringement is correct, your stuck with it.........

I'd contest it saying it was an unfamilia car and you didn't know if the car would stop in the distance, so you thought it would be safer to continue through the orange light instead of causing a large accident.

I have written numerious letters attempting to get out of infringments. Ive also spoken to a few people who work at AFP about this. This is from my personal experience, You may write a letter outlining all your cases, then, youll get a letter back in the mail saying, either pay it or goto court, where you can argue your word against the attending police officer / officers (if it was 2, your pretty much guaranteed screwed, as they will corroborate their stories).

They will prob argue, being wet conditions, you should have been being more cautious blah blah blah.

anyways, just my 2 cents,

Good luck with it.

yeah, seems that alot of traffic infringements nowadays are hard to fight against, considering the amount of time, effort and money you put into it. cops know it too, they know peopleprobably cant be f**ked to go to court over it and find it cheaper and easier to just pay the fine.

sorry i cant be of much help as i havent had a traffic infringement (yet), thats one criminal offence i know close to nothing about.

They will just reissue the fine with the correct details, which they have been doing lately.

Write a letter, see how far it gets you... at the very least, an extension to pay the fine, at most it will get you off. Nothing to lose really... (if you have a shitehouse driving record, I wouldnt bother though).

Hey Buddy,

sorry to hear about that. surly there are crimes that need delt with rather than hasseling kids in their cars! neway.

if your over the line and its not red your sweet but there is no proof of that so you can also say that.

the prosecution have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you are at completly in the wrong. If you can prove doubt with the discrepancies in the completion of the ticket you should be able to show that there is doubt in what the officer has charged you with.

you should take it to court. the police will crack the shits and alot of the time they cant even be bothered to have to take half a day off work to go and sit in a courtroom so they just give in and drop the charges. but just sit down and think about but you should be sweet if you go to court.

neway mate all the best with it.

I just went to court to fight 3 speeding offences that got me (in ute) at that horrible fixed camera on lanyon, near jerra. Long story short, the speedo was out so much that at 80km on speedo, actual speed travelled was 92km. Got free legal advice and was advised I had a case. I initially pleaded not guilty, which got the RTA into a spin and adjourned the hearing so they could check the camera. Was unecessary as one year later (and on the 3rd court appearance), I was advised to plead guilty with circumstance. By pleading guilty, it meant that I was disputing the operational capability of the camera, which was not the case. I spoke to the court magistrate (not the judge), and , as I had the mechanical certificate to prove my case, given my good driving record (I must be a boring driver!!!), and that I came prepared, all charges were dismissed. Funny thing, the RTA record had my birthdate as 1 Jan 1900, which had the court in stitches, this had no bearing on the case at all. Sorry for the long post, but just a bit of support for you if you do decide to go to court. It can be done, just do your homework, and dress well at court! Good luck Andrew.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
