I normally just pay my rego renewal before its due

...maybe thats just me? :)

yeah good one, so when you pay early and still have to wait ages for the sticker to arrive in the post (while passing the expiry date of the current sticker) how does that still not apply to this situation.

Obviously he's paid, it's the fact the coppers are a joke and don't know their shit

If you have paid well before the rego expiry date and it arrives before the expiry date, then I suppose you have 2 valid options:

1. Put it on and remove the old label; or

2. You have up to 21 days after the expiry date to remove and attach the new one.

Though, if you have paid early and it arrives before the expiry date, to save yourself hassle, put the new one on otherwise the cops will find some excuse to book you, and then you have my situation.

If you have paid before the expiry date and it arives after the expriy date, then you have what is stated in the legislation.

Not all cops are ill-informed about their own job, most I have dealt with seem to be alright (I actually live next to one - non-traffic), like the community its the minority that seem to make a negative impact. If those in the minority would get off their little podium and start acting like respectable members of the community, we would have a better system.

My last one took 2 days to arrive in the mail. Only way I can see not having a sticker in time is leaving it till the last minute to pay.

...of course, I was just stirring sh*t. hence the ":P" emoticon

same thing almost happened to me but i told the flamin mongrelstable to jam it not quite my words but u get the drift, i hate cops who just try ping people for the sake of it.

Was this today or another time? Did you refer him/her to the legislation?

thats pretty funny/f**ked up.. stupid cop

reminds me of a story I heard a while back, a friend of mine didn't stop completely for a stop sign, boys in blue spotted her, pulled her over and fined her..

she ended up not paying the fine because of the way he worded it, something like "driver performed a rolling stop".

Because she couldn't make sense of that statement I guess she couldn't be fined. She could have been spinning crap - I do like the story though.

Thats true, but again, it is the legislation that governs both us the public and those policing it. BTW, by indirectly forcing them to check your rego on the database, what does that do?

By forcing them to check it they can see when it expires or if its paid. They cannot fine you if you say its in the mail and you've contacted dept of transport, because they can check that.

  • 2 weeks later...

They will withdraw the fine as they will realise after confirming with a snr officer or dept of tport that they cannot fine you when your rego is paid unless it is without a doubt you cbf'd putting the sticker on ie 1 month+ into the new term, even a retarded flamin mongrelstable will figure that one out

    • how do you know voltage is fine?  quick easy test is connect DMM up and put it on max/min mode, remove fuel pump fuse, crank car for 3-5s, go check min voltage You'd be surprised how many "healthy" batteries are showing under 10v during this test in cold weather. 
    • Not properly. You need to be able to dissipate 100 amps or so to doing it meaningfully. You can do it indirectly by watching to see how far the voltage falls during cranking. Unplug the coils or something else to prevent it from starting so you can get a good couple or three chugs. It also helps if you have the multimeter set up reading before you start, and that it has max/min functions. So you can catch the real minimum without having to watch the screen, which often doesn't update fast enough to show the real max/min in dynamic situations. Or use a digital oscilloscope, which can be obtained for <<$100 from Aliexpress (although I'd argue for paying up to ~$200 for a nicer one). A >4 yr old battery will very likely be well down the path to the knackery. Many only last 5-6 years these days. The cold weather lately will definitely make it worse.
    • Hmmm, what do you mean by getting weaker? And where did you get that test done? I've been wondering about my battery because the cold starts crank super slowly. The voltage is fine. Not sure if cranking amps can be checked at home. Battery is 4+ years old.
    • No. The simplest wastegate hookup, with no solenoid or other form of "boost control" (ie, control over your boost control, if you know what I mean) is a single hose, direct from the turbo outlet/hot pipe, straight and only to the wastegate actuator. It is that pressure signal that drives the wastegate to open, providing the boost control (and by "boost control" here, I mean, limiting how high it can go, which is essentially the spring pressure of the actuator). You only end up with tee pieces and alternate flow paths once you start adding things to the boost control system to allow you to determine how much of that boost signal makes it to the actuator. There are so many ways to do that that there is no single way to run the hoses and tees and the like. If you have a stock boost solenoid, then all it does is either allow all the boost signal to go to the actuator, or open up to allow some of it to bleed off. There needs to be a restriction in that bleeder to allow only a small amount to bleed off. And in a stock system, that would then be plumbed back to the turbo inlet (for "emissions control" reasons). That is actually what that nipple on your BOV return pipe could/would be for. If you have an aftermarket boost controller and solenoid, then the above is mostly true, but there is no need for a restrictor in the bleed, because the solenoid is pulse width modulated to create a variable bleed off. The air that escapes from the bleed can either be vented, or also returned to the turbo inlet. For emissions reasons it should be returned to inlet, but the amount of air being vented is so small that it really doesn't matter (either from an emissions perspective, or from an air-fuel ratio affecting perspective).
    • And other times you just need to go buy bigger injectors?
