Im sure im not alone in noticing that lately a lot of people on this site are in legal trouble because of incedents with the "boys in blue". Be it with suspensions, speeding etc, it is becoming a more and more regular occurance that drivers are having to go to court and not being fully prepared for the event whether it be for lack of information or not having the proper legal assistance.

I thought this would be a good opportunity for others to share their experience with the legal system and if at all possible point others in the direction of good legal services. The last thing people want is to pay for a lawyer to represent them in court and then for them to sit there and not do their job to the expectations you were promised.

I understand that some people deserve to go to court and get reamed by the system, but for those who genuinely do need help this could be an opportunity to share your experience...

Guys, this not a bleeding heart session for when you got done over by the police for whatever. If you were unfairly accused of something, and you resorted to legal action, please post your experiences as the thread starter says.

We do not tolerate calling police officers names, "omg uleh I got done over for my BOV" and other such sob stories. Harden up and show some maturity.

I work in law in Sydney and have a lot of contacts. I have helped a few forum and club members out in the past.

I am not a lawyer. I am a Barrister's Clerk so I basically hook the solicitors up with the barristers.

I am more likely to give you practical advice than definitive legal advice because that's what I know. Eg I might say 'it looks like you were in the right there but in these sorts of cases both parties usually lose due to the costs involved so you're best to forget it'.

The unfortunate thing is that we are living in an era of a new conservatism and the result is that the pollies think they know better than the cops and the judges so they are increasingly putting automatic penalties in place, thus overriding the judicial authority. Eg automatic licence suspensions for exceding a certain speed or losing all your demerit points. They exist for drink driving too.

People can pm me for help if they like. I can tell you it's scary how many incompetant lawyers there are out there. Also a recommendation from most people is worthless because they only know one or at best two lawyers. I know hundreds.

Been there done that. You're right about the law being made Automatic for the judges etc, that is where i got caught. Yes i did something wrong, however the penality considering the situation was LONG *sigh* But the minimum except for section 10. Not much middle ground or control for the judge considering.

I Reckon if u get nabed something if small or large it can snowball into something bigger. Either way seems like it's a gamble anyway. As for lawers, well the result can only get so good sometimes.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

      Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
