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

      It's (the TPS) buzzing? Or something else is buzzing in response? Remove the IACV from the plenum. Block the hole into the plenum with your hand. Get someone to start the car. Let some air is. Do the revs flare up? This is checking that the path into the plenum is clean. After that, is the air hose leading to the IACV fuly clear? After that, either you didn't clean it thoroughly enough to allow the valve to move, or it is broken.

      Just a follow-up on this topic. From what I can tell so far the rusty residue on the engine block might be unrelated to a coolant leak or maybe just older than anticipated. After driving it from the winter garage to my friend's garage I could not see any new traces of coolant leaking there, but I will test this properly once I was able to fully warm up the car and drive it for a bit. I think I can agree that the whole porous engine block stuff is kind of nonsense, but there is just a silly amount of true, false and half-true information on anything Skyline-related on the internet.

      I removed the IACV, cleaned it and reinstalled.  I found a video on youtube that helped with the whole process, the guy then said the idle needed to be set, so the process was to get the vehicle up to operating temperature, unplug the TPS, set the idle screw in the IACV so the RPMs were around 600, then plug the TPS back in.  After I reinstalled the IACV, the car started (because, it was a cold start), once it warmed up, the car died, I adjusted the idle screw to see if that helped anything, it did not, I had to wait about 3-5 minutes, then the car would start back up. Only to shortly cut out, and only crank.  I loosened the TPS to see if adjusting that would do anything, and when I would rotate the sensor clockwise, there was a humming noise, but it would go away when I got the sensor in the horizontal position.  It only made the hum noise with the key on.  What do you guys think? 20250414_172604.mp4
