Once lights go orange, then you can turn right from the "hook" position on the left.

Actually if you do that you will get done for running a red light. You have to wait until the street you are turning into's light goes green, then you are free to go. Picture it this way, when you pull to the left and sit in front of all the cars you are effectively sitting with that group of cars waiting for your green light, it's as if you have pole position so to speak.

Really? None of the hookturn intersections have redlight camera's that i can think of :P

Interesting, now for the sake of knowing im gonna have to check out the intersections, i've been doing it that way for 8-10 years, no issues yet (touch wood)

I usually "start" on the orange, as in get in gear and get ready to move. It's well and truly green by the time i get it moving without stalling it - love my clutch :)

I wouldn't be possible right? Since if you're doing a hook turn you'd be sitting on a red light sensor thingy .... then you'd get flashed already.

I hate driving in the CBD, it takes me less time to walk to melbourne central from rmit and take a train home to blackburn than to drive home in peak hour traffic. Looks like i'll only be driving to the cbd on weekends and day when classes end early.

I understand the need for it, i dont understand acting like its the be all and end all of driving when its only necessary in the cbd of one city in victoria.

No brett...there were no questions relating to trams OR hook turns on either my learners or probationary.

Maybe they sustitute those questions for subjects on dodging cattle where you are :)

of which there are also none.

Why learn something im never really going to use? i avoid the city at all costs. Between Ballarat and the SE...i have everything i could ever need, shopping wise. :action-smiley-069:

Well I made sure I clarified it with the officers that night, and they said when the light goes green for the street you're turning onto, thats when you go...

nah... yall gotta git in tha left lane ti go right or sumptin...

mah..... i gotsta go... i'm on tha turlet!

lol

if you tell them that you are getting footage to use against them, it will go "missing" before you get there.

and dont say i'm being paranoid, as they have already done this to me on another matter...

they also "discovered" another officer who apparently "witnessed" the whole thing but "forgot" to mention it for a few months.

cops look after cops.....

what i'm saying is if there is chance of getting video evidence that will prove you innocent, you need to grab it ASAP

Oh ok. I thought you meant don't bother telling them before the court day. That might make the evidence inadmissible.

The guy in front that drove off got done today, cops rocked up at his home saying he has to take his car into preston to the impound depot, and has to attend a police station for his statement...

So now I have two other people same situation as me

Knowing now what I didn't about 5 years ago, the guy that got the cops to his front door should have said he wasn't driving at all that night and the car was at home with him, nothing they can do about it. Unless they have footage of his car somehow.

Go one better.

When they answer the door, and ask "are you XXX", just don't respond and say sorry, aint here.

No problem to make a statement in... 3-4 weeks and say you did nothing wrong.

Just means there is official record of your own views that nothing happened.

As long as everyone has the same story you will all be fine IMO.

Lawyer up together, beat the opressors!

Great advice, apart from the fact that it dosnt matter if your there or not, if they are there for the car and they can see the car then they will take it anyway, not mention all the other bullshit that will happen when you go to make your statement to the cop who you previously have told that your not home :D

^^^^ Wrong. The police can't just take your car from your home if you're not there. That is basically stealing. The Police are not above the law. When I had the cops come to my house those many years ago I should just have not answered the door. I had 4 cops come to the front door to give me a card to call another cop. Thats right, 4 cops in 2 cars to drop of a business card! I was young and stupid and answered the door. If I had of left them there I could have never called that cop because hey the card magically disapeared.

You live and learn.

Oh and yes Hamish, I'm sure you do know why they came, bloody Mazda and it's wicked little ways, kept me on my P plates for 6 years!!!

I think the key phrase here is "many years ago", which no doubt was many years before the hoon laws and other laws that seem come in every year, no to mention the increase in police powers.

At the end of the day you cant compare your experience to some one in the same situation today, back in the day you had to be caught red handed doing something, these days the laws are well and truly tilted in favour of the cops.

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
