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.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
