KaI 32 4dr GaL Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Hi everyone! I'm a newbie so help me out please I live in Gold Coast Queensland...... Can someone suggest me in how I go about this.....(this might be long to read) couple of days ago I was pulled over buy police officer who claimed that my tail light was painted!!!!!!! All the R32 4doors have dark tail light and so thats what I told him but he said that its definately painted!!!!!!! I went to Queensland transport to ask them to prove that its stock tail light but they couldn't help me.... (no-ones a skyline specialist there....) I went to a Nissan dealership..... They said they can't check if its stock since they don't have one in hand to compare.... I am planning to go to a import car dealer to see if they could ( but not much hopes there....) I can only think of skyline compliance place that might be able to help me out but duno where there is one near the Gold Coast. The police that pulled me over has had an eye on me for a while now so I noe if I just paid the fines he will try the same thing again and I need my points!!! pleeeeeeeaseeeeee someone help me in other ideas and skyline compliance place!!

long33 Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 go to a wreakers and see if they have a taily off the same car as u and if they r both the same, buy it and take action against the ticket. or bring it with u wen u contest the ticket and scratch it and show them no paint comes off.my four door 33 has painted tail lights but they are painted the same colour as the car and the actual lights are not blackened or tinted. all i can say is if it was me and i was sure that i didnt paint them and he didnt believe me i wuda got out my keys and scrapped the lights to show no paint peeling off, wud need a new tail light but at least no points lost and prob cheaper than fine.depends if the lights look darker than stock wen on at night. maybe u need brighter light bulbs and if the coppers on the watch out for u, invest in some new lights Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/182409-r32-4dr-tail-light/#findComment-3310522 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benno- Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 hey, cant say i can help ya much, the scratching idea seems alright, but seems a bit drastic as to ruin your lights just to get out of a fine.

KaI 32 4dr GaL Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 Hi 53XYN! thanx heaps..... hope they can help me out coz RACQ didnt since Im not their member Apparently the break lights are not the issue... its the whole tail been dark... so he says its tinted or painted. I wish they knew about cars before they can give us tickets. I'll ring them tmrw! thank you!!! Hi Benno-... tails got cracks and not that new anyhow... so I thought it might be ok. its the last result.....i guess but the thing is its not only to get away from the fine. Paying fine is alright but the police are gona give me ticket for it again and again unless I can prove it now and keep that on record.

BoostdR32 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Why dont you get another person with a 4 door 32 or other people with 32s and take them to the cop station with you? Its a bit annoying for you i guess, as all of them are definately like that, i'd certainly be annoyed and wouldnt want to cop the fine for no reason!

KaI 32 4dr GaL Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 Hi BoostdR32! I don't know any other R32 4 doors...... its abit of a problem trying to get them to come to police station with me unless they are stock 4 door. I thought of buying an old catalogue NISSAN had it out when the R32s came out. I saw few of them in yahoo auction. They have to know that its stock if its in Nissan catalogue I think......

53XYN Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 To Clear it as if it was a defect you can take it to a qualified complinace workshop and get a letter stating that the lights are factory standard items .. also give a few places like autoterminal , www.nismo.com.au a go they might even pop a letter in a fax for u ..
