I was at Chaddy about an hour ago and noticed a few guys walking around the carpark in what appeared to be police unifroms and fluro yellow vests. On closer inspection, they were Sheriffs.

Then I saw a white Camry with UHF antennae on the boot followed by 2 identical cars. The lead car had a camera mounted above the rear door. Had a chat to one of them and it turns out they drive through the carparks slowly and the camera reads number plates, flagging anyone with outstanding fines. They found one next to my car and clamped it. They put massive stickers on the cars windows.

On the other side of the carpark was what looked like a booze bus. They must have been 20 of these white Camrys parked around it.

I guess it's not suprising considering the millions of dollars of outstanding fines. Shopping centres hold a high density of cars and the owners aren't around whilst the clamps are atttached.

Not a bad idea, coz suddenly the tables are turned and now the wanted have to chase up the Sheriffs.

"It is a serious offence to tamper with or remove a wheel clamp that has been fitted to a vehicle. The maximum penalty for a first offence is in excess of $6,805* or six months imprisonment."

Also read somewhere a while back that Sheriffs have been advised to take pictures of the cars location when they've put the wheel clamp on to avoid people removing them and denying that the clamp was ever fitted.

Just spoke to a mate who is part of the operation at the moment. He drives one of those camry's daily but it doesnt have the camera in it.

But they all carry wheel locks. I must say though some of the stories he has told me and the scum he deals with I don't blame them for doing things like this.

He has this huge folder of names, listed in priority and he just works through them...

    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

    • Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
    • And half of them have been converted to turbos.
