yeah i cant beleive im helping this guy out.. if he isnt driving with safety and courtesy i dont want him on the same road as me. but i do know what its like to get booked for something stupid (was on today tonight in the height of P PLATER hating season 2-3yrs ago) . It sucks ass.

seriously... you shouldnt have parked in a handicapped zone... and if your friends were only 2 min i wouldnt turn the car off.. just roll around the carpark. none of this stay with the car bs..

if you were with it and it was still on ie keys in (idiot) or turbo timer (also illegal- car should not be on when ignition turned off) cop may have told you off anyway

Edit: just showing how it wont stand in court anyway

When the coppers say 'you'll get it in the mail' it's just a scare tactic. He was prolly laughing at you when you left.

HOT TIP: Leave your rear P plate on the parcel shelf like it fell down, when a copper's like wheres your P plate just look back and go 'ummmm it must of fell sorry I didnt realise'. I used to do it on my P's always worked and saved my being pulled over everyday.

Just as illegal as not driving with them at all.

A P-Plate must be clearly visible from 25metres away from the vehicle, when viewed from the front, or the rear, hence, why I can't put my green P in the rear window of the line. The window is too far tilted, especially with really dark tint (Legal tint)

As for the handicap thing. GET THE HELL OUT OF IT!

I'm sick and tired of going to the shops with my dad or what ever, and some soft cock P-plater is parked in the disabled spot and he can't use it (He is disabled!) Walk FFS! You are fully bodily abled!

Although, you will never get the fine in the mail at all.

Also, copper is technically never off duty. They're a civil servant IIRC, meaning, they're always on call.

The other day I parked at a mall and out of the probably 10,000 parking spots, maybe 5 were filled. I wrestled with my own mind but eventually bypassed the 5 disabled parking spots and hit the next available normal one. I am completely conditioned not to use them. I guess I don't need the recall stabilisation after all. :) (1984 reference for those who don't recognise it)

Also my Dad has the disabled sticker - with good reason - but sometimes he doesn't park there. He goes, "Oh there is probably someone more disabled than me." :)

Ha ha ha, at certain places my dad goes "I know I can park closer in a normal parking spot..."

But at certain places he uses them, other times he parks like normal.

Not always. I got a fine for a red light (which I never went through) from this fat troll cop not too long ago, they said "your fine will be in the mail" and guess what, it was. Assholes..

    • Just dropped the car off at MX5 Mania to install the intake plenum and give it a little retune  My impatience hates the waiting game 
    • SAMSONAS      Just saying      U know and we know U wanna     Just a matter of time....
    • This is kind of what I expected given the use case. I took my liners out for track days too.... It makes me consider just getting a diffuser and not bothering with the arch liners themselves. For the most part I would like to avoid water/mud/jank splashing up from under the car onto the bottom of the engine, lines, wiring, etc etc. (but brake ducts are cool too). Especially given this post on SAU here: Where it's implied you have to cut them because the actual tub is different? Which is pretty damn worrying because that is where the liners rub in a GTR with wider wheels... I definitely won't want to pay $2000 for plastic then cut them up. It also means said wider wheels rub on the tub in a GTT? FML. That said, I have found some evidence someone ran a 295/30/18 without scrubbing these liners. (and by extension.. the tub).
    • Would be good in your car I reckon Johnny. Have seen reports they don't seem to love circuit use and sustained high RPM, but there's so many variables and implementations it's hard to tell fact from fiction.  All that said, is it worth it in this car given how you feel about it? Probs not? 
    • I don't know specifically. I *do* know that it is very likely that historically most/all undertray replacements remove the inner liners and people just run without them. When you are hectic (or serious) enough to really want/need a different undertray, you are probably also running wider, taller or different offset wheels and the guard liners are the first thing that rub (or as I said in the other thread, they blow out at high speeds anyway) Of course, that is before the pricing went nuts on R34s, nowdays it is much more likely people want/expect to retain the liners to protect their overall investment
