pulled into coles/safeway carpark today and was confronted by the sheriff

i was in my girlfreinds car which aparently had $1650 in unpaid citylink fines

the thing is there was a glitch in the system and the fines were never received in the mail

they wanted to tow the car on the spot, and she never even knew of the fines.

it is all from 7 trips on citylink over a 2 month span

just a warning... they are checking all rego's in the carpark

lol if you dont have unpaid fines etc then it doesn't matter does it? :D

I had a similar issue actually myself from civic compliance many years ago, stuffed if i know where they were sending the notices but i missed a few and they added up with all the stupid fee's and so on.

I know how ya feel :D

I dislike this general area. It's the biggest mess of parking signs and meters. Half of it can be parked in and the other half needs a ticket. Narrow one way exists. It's one of the shadiest spots to park your car at night time. Always full of twits just loitering in the carpark with sound systems turned up. And I've seen the TMU there going around checking cars on more than one occasion.

I saw cops going over a Skyline there the other night. It was an R32 with a 34 front end. Police asked for engineering certificates. The guy showed them. I actually think he got away without a fine.

So many hoons around there though, so no wonder it's a hot-spot for police.

There's these guys with the plates "DUBAI-1" "DUBAI-2" etc. all the way up to "DUBAI-9"

I see them burning rubber every time I go there.

Broadmeadows is harsh, They blocked of pacoe road with TMU, highway patrol cars and all within 5meters away thers a BLUE mercedes VAN unmarcked in FBI blue, which has a camera and when your car comes past it automatically scans it and checks your rego/unpaid fines and all, and they pull you over and inspect your car for yellow canaries!! theres undercover cop cars all over this northern area mainly broady!! so becareful guys!!! they are heavily strict!!!!! last week broady pulled over 2000cars in 2 days!

Really?

Personally I've only seen 3 of the DUBAIs (2 newish Commodores and one brand new Mercedes) but my friend assures me that they own every plate. :P

yeah man, It was just an old Vt commodore tho. I think Dubai 1 is a yellow monaro if im not mistaken, saw it on chapel street a long time ago

DUBAI2 is a red VY SS. That's the only one I can fully remember. :P I'm never sober when I see them on Chapel St.

Everyone knows not to go to chaps, especially on friday and saturday nights lol

I hate the area, too many drunks and fights

I know what you mean.

That night we were there JD my friend had her car (and about 4 others nearby) broken into. They just smashed a window grabbed what they could and fled. Was parked in a backstreet just off Chapel.

      AC Compressor

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Lots of this, and in older cars, AC is generally controlled by the AC knobs and programming, and the ECU reacts to the load. Modern cars, the ECU controls kicking the AC on/off at the AC systems request so it can be prepared for the engagement/disengagement.

      Sadly, it won't happen. The AC controls in our cars are essentially on-off. Whereas the AC in new stuff is more a case of variable displacement compressors giving infinitely variable output.

      AC Compressor

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I don't think anyone did. But it still made me consider. For me personally it wasn't clear whether the AC experience in my car was shit because it is an old system, or because it wasn't maintained. Looks like it may have just been the latter. I see some more modern setup being sold as an upgrade and I wonder whether it would make it drive like AC in a modern car. Where you don't really hear it or notice it. But maybe that's asking for too much as well.   Haha, stick it in a Nissan Cube and you end up with a driveable fridge I'm not doubting your experience. Just thought it was interesting to hear the AC technician's thoughts on it.

      AC Compressor

      Guess I should be hunting down one of these big ol ford units then for max flow ....  I've had fresh gas in mine and it was never as cold as it is now . The compressor could have been trash though, like I said I am one example with a bunch of unknowns.

      AC Compressor

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't know if anyone was seriously suggesting a retrofit of an Echo compressor in place of a more-or-less working original comp. You'd have to change the hoses at the bare minimum to do so, and that will definitely add significant cost. I had to get my hoses modded when I did the engine transplant and chose to use the Neo's AC over the even older R32 comp. That was startlingly more expensive than expected for what looks like a simple welding job, and a massive pain in the arse when it turned to have a pinhole leak in the weld too. The Frenchie's kit is for people who have next to nothing of the original system or have more than that but some of it is a bit shit and better off thrown away than salvaged. If you've got 90% of the system, you just patch it up. Mine is currently degassed because it apparently has a big leak somewhere. If I find it is the compressor, I will be looking to take my spare comp to a shop to assess and/or recondition, rather than contemplating a retrofit to anything off-brand.
