I got fined $50 for not having a valid ticket when I was leaving the train for Northbridge. I'm gonna contest it, but as for sat night I got totally f**ked up and had a blast! and spewed a few times on Sunday morning :wave: big hangover!

So, the story...

We got on at maddington train station and I thought my mate bought my ticket. I didn't even think about it when I got on, and when we got off in the city and I went to leave I didn't have a ticket and my mate tells me he never bought me one lol

This is my first time on the train by the way...

So I tell the guard that I forgot to buy one (yes I was a little tipsy already) and he goes "I'm gonna have to fine you $50" and we all just look at eachother like (wtf bitch no u arent) and I say ohh I'll just go buy one now I honestly forgot before.. and he wouldn't f**ken let me!! Poofter

So anyways he asks me for ID, and he already has his little fine book out, and I just said I don't have any. then we try again with the "dude just let me go buy a ticket and its all good.. Was just miscommunication between me and my mates who both have tickets, its not like we were trying to get a free ride?" and he continues to refuse to let me go buy one..

So yeah he pulls me to the side and asks for my name in which I reply "poo head" (im mature when im half pissed, as you can see)... and he goes "right.. That's enuff" and calls over his little radio for more dudes to come..

I was thinking "cool maybe these guys will understand and be cool about it"... but NOOOO, they ask me for my ID again or they will lock me up and I just stood there for a few seconds and though nah stuff this im not going down that path haha.. So I pulled out my wallet and just gave them my ID to write the ticket, was feeling really pissed off and just sat down and kept calm..

Meanwhile mates were trying to talk to the guys and get me off but they didn't wanna hear it.. So I get my little infringement notice and ID back and they are like "you can contest this if you want and just say its miss-communication between mates and you might get off of it"... I said to him "why didn't you just let me buy a frigin ticket and then I don't have to waste my time/money writing a letter and making work for other people too!"

Cock-suckers IMO

So yeah walked off to northbridge and had a good night :laugh: - and the best part was I didn't spend a cent that night! Mates bought me drinks all night and somehow I kept getting out of buying a round of drinks I don't think they noticed lol, I wondered why my wallet was still full the next day - I think we were all a bit pissed! (got a free ride home too!)

*Shakes head*

Ryan, why would they let you buy a ticket after you have been caught? That defeats the purpose if eveyone gets caught and says "oops, ill go get one now". Kinda pointless.

I believe the part about the miscommunication and shit happens and you got lumped with it.

If it were me, i would be asking each of the guys for $10 each to help out lol Pay the fine and move on with life.

Not worth contesting.

p.s. What is you name? "Poo Head"?????? and you expected them to have a sese of humour about this? LOL you idiot :wave: Glad you had a good night though :laugh:

Lol that was after we tried to be reasonable and mature about it..

And I just thought.. why dont they check for a ticket when you get on a train? A reminder would have helped then! It was my first train ride so I wasnt sure what the heck I was supposed to be doing lol :huh:

Haha, $50 is a cheap night out then, hardly worth contesting it :huh:

Worth a shot! I use the bus everyday.. I didnt have my smartrider on me that night though (can you use em for train?)... honest mistake, so if they say I have to pay up I will.

EDIT: Heck even the guards told me to give it a shot!

smartrider works on train, ferry and bus

always carry it in ur wallet exactly to avoid this......

never got a fine, but got a written warning once for too loud music (bloody old people complained taht my iPod was too loud) - and that was on the train LOL

Well lets see.

No ticket = $50

Offensive behavior = $50

Not providing ID = $50

Only getting a $50 fine and not paying for drinks I'd say that you have a cheap night out don't you think.

Was my first time using the train system so when we went to leave you have to go through a gate which is guarded, he asked to see our tickets and that's when I realised. Asked my mate if he had it and all that infront of the guard so pretty much dobbed myself in.

    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
