[chopobo]

SE side is like clayton, glenny, oakleigh, dandy area

box hill, burwood, knox, wantirna, mt dandy side

two very different places

[inark]

i wouldnt pay it and take it to court...

184 + 1450kgs PLUS the driver puts u over the 125kw/ton regulations.

take ur car to a weigh bridge and get it weighed... u will find it more than what they "estimate" it as being.

[moondog]

yep, I think the 1390kg (for the auto - manual's 1360) is the dry weight, so with fluids, fuel and you, it's waaaay more. And yeah, it's 184kW, not 187

[dAVE]

my manual was 1430kg with it being pretty empty.. just a half tank of fuel and space saver.

chuck in a bag of cement in the boot - that will help.

buhahaha

did the cop actually know the kw and weight or did he have to ring back to head office to get the info??

Geez cops these days must have nothing to farkin do!!

dumb ***in cops

[YogiR33]

Lol i was at Knox last nite around 9:30 with the NissanSilvia boys and i think the same officer came and tried to get a p-player for drivin a SpecS S15, luckily a lot of us were there so we were able to dispute it.

But it could of turned real ugly coz then he called a TMU marked XR6 turbo (by the way the car is verrrrrry noice !) but we had a chat to the cop explained the diff between SpecS and SpecR and he walked away not issuin any fines and havin a better opinoin of NissanSilvia.

I know there r times when it looks like we get targeted for nothing, but its a tough job guys ! How can they tell the difference between an enthsiast like most of us or a guy in his daddy-paid-for-it import bovvin and rippin patches !!!!!

Cut em some slack we saw a lot of cops in the nite and although they were confrontational at first once u chat to em without aggression, they even had a laugh or two with us !

i was at knox last night 2 but at about 10.30pm

[Guest RedLineGTR]

Get your car wieghed at one of those wieghing stations and see how much it works out to be most skylines are not even near the factory weight...

[Guest RedLineGTR]

Did they let you drive it home...i though that someone else would have to drive it that had a full licence

[predator]

I wouldn't pay that chop.. thats a pretty bullshit ticket just for them to get more revenue under this current blitz for cash thingo. Like people are saying, with everything in the car it would be over so I would dispute it.

I mean obviously they would have done your car over fully but you're lucky yours is pretty stock. Actually, you never know that EPA could be in the post

Yer, i went past knox yesterday.. lot of ****heads around that area these days. I remember about 2 years ago you would never see a skyline or import.. yesterday i saw 2x R32 in the car park.

[Guest RedLineGTR]

if the EPA is reading this post. :headshot: go do some work

The EPA OR POLICE may have the specs of the car and weight...but its not accurate...i could get 50 stock skylines (and weigh them) and they would be within the power to wieght ratios...to prove them wrong...Thoe it $105 bucks not to bad..but money is still money...

[GTR-34]

well i got pulled over with my car, but they had no idea and couldnt find the power of the r34 gtr, and he was going on it would be too much powerful and that it weighs 1400KG???? for a R34 GTR hehe, man is that all u get when u get pulled over on a high powered vehicle with ur p's??? one copper said to me the one that pulled me over that i would lose my license for 2 years...?? and i havent been driving it on the streets for 2 months now any ideas?

[akeenan]

1.)

i could get 50 stock skylines (and weigh them) and they would be within the power to wieght ratios...to prove them wrong...

2.)

And yeah, it's 184kW, not 187

ok

1.) i dont think you could!

2.) ???? someone show me the power and the weight figures published by nissan japan then this will be settled!!

[riggaP]

Look at the pic I've attached. Its nothing new. Just a pic I found on some nissan site, prolly put together originally by nissan.

Max power 180kw@6400rpm

Weight 1380kg

Power to Weight ratio = 130.435kw per tonne

The law clearly states that a P plate driver shall not drive a vehicle that has a power to weight ratio greater the 125kw per tonne. Power is measured at the engine. Weight is calculated in the vehicles unladen stock standard form (that means COMPLETELY unmodified, no driver, no fluids, no cement or mates in the back).

The power and weight figures would have to come from Nissan if you wanted to contest it. You can weigh your car and put it on a dyno, but it aint gonna help.

You are breaking the law. End of story. You could waste a day in court trying to get out of it, or you can pay the fine. Stop whinging! This shit happens to everyone everyday!!!!

this is what i was hinting at.

[Horus]

thats ****ing bullshit....and further strengthens my belief that cops target ethnics

[akeenan]

ok seriously i know how bad it feels to be fined? but if your doing something illegal which clearly it is, why

thats ****ing bullshit

thats a pretty bullshit ticket

Geez cops these days must have nothing to farkin do!!

i wouldnt pay it and take it to court...

it seems as though no matter what happens everyone always tries to get out of things. Everyone knows the rules regarding power to weight

125kw per tonne -

The law clearly states that a P plate driver shall not drive a vehicle that has a power to weight ratio greater the 125kw per tonne. Power is measured at the engine. Weight is calculated in the vehicles unladen stock standard form (that means COMPLETELY unmodified, no driver, no fluids, no cement or mates in the back).

if your going to drive one of these cars on your p plates these are the things you have to take into account happening

and lastly

and further strengthens my belief that cops target ethnics

what does this quote have to do with a p plater getting fined for doing something illegal.

yes the police do alot of things which are unfare for ego/ power or whatever but when they do something which can be justified very clearly why does everyone jump on their backs? its the rules yes maybe they are unfare but they are there if you dont like it dont drive the car till you are legally allowed! ,
