From what I understand if the notice has "Recorded Speed" above is correct but if the notice only has "Alleged Speed" they can claim to have measured the speed another way.

Going to court is a lucky dip where most times you will lose...especially if you don't have a baristor...and don't believe that it can't get any worse, if you have a history they can increase fines and penalties.....but like most of the others on here I'm not a barristor, cant even spell it, but unless your first stop is to see a barristor don't waste your time going to court.

I've managed to get out of a lot of fines over the years and I reckon the golden rule is make sure you know the law regarding the offence at least as well as the cops then you know if they have made an error or if there is a loop hole otherwise you are relying on luck & wasting your time.

yeah... if he had a radar... you've done your dollar... if he didn't SHOW you the radar.

got to court like i am. The officer HAS to show you the read-out otherwise he's breaking the law.

There is also the method of guestamation or something... but sounds like they got you more ligit than when they pinned me.

That's why i'm going to court.

They calibrate the speedo pretty accurately and the calibration can in fact be adjusted, so that i think can be used as evidence instead of a radar.

They will always believe the word of police officer over that of a pleb unfortunately, especially if two officers are there vs just your word. They know that too.

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
