I have no sympathy (except for the people who the fine was issued too incorrectly for and have been trying to get it sorted out)

This is literally the very last action the sheriff takes trying to recover the money. In some (probably most) cases the fines are older than 12 months and probably $1000 (I stand to be corrected on that though)

The sheriff sends letters of demand, comes to your house and gives you every possible chance to pay the fine......hell they even have payment plans!...this is AFTER the original supplier of the bill has tried all their possible means as well.

This is very true. If you can't afford to pay the fines immediately you can negotiate a payment plan with them, you can even get the fine and penalties reduced.

I recall a case where one of our clients had $20,000+ in outstanding fines, while he was at our office getting advice on what his options were in relation to these fines he parked in a loading zone... and received a fine. :D :D

Stand corrected then Rossco.

The Sherriff clamped my car many many years ago for... $175 fine... a fine i didn't even know about because council was too lazy to recheck my address.

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.

Tell your mate to pass some feedback to the council he works for.

Feedback is:

They are a pack of money grabbing cvnts.

When you have Stonnington parking inspectors giving our fines @ 1:27am in the morning, it is a fken joke.

(fine was for parking on the nature strip, something you can do in other councils without any issue)

He is fully aware that what he has to do sometimes causes people to get sh!tty. As for minor things where adresses have been changed etc I believe that is just bad luck.

I think we are all fully aware that the council just love dishing out crud like that. That situation about parking fines at 1am is ridiculous. I feel bad for the person on the recieving end of the fine, and also for the sheriff that gets sent around to collect it after the recipient refuses to pay. Just a vicious cycle, caused by the council being unreasonable.

If you have fines that you rightly earned by infringing the law seraphyn, i don't see why you should be allowed to evade the law to the point of a clamp being necessary. You know you have the fine. Go on a payment plan if its too hefty. you dont ignore it and go shopping.

I'll be in chaddy on the weekend...clean and fine free :P no boot for me!

Stonnington and City of Melbourne, Port Phillip are all the same. They probably bring in the highest amount of income of any Victoria municipality but they are still the greediest when it comes to traffic fines.

Parking on nature strips is technically an offence in all councils, but I don't know of many others that actually bother fining for it unless they get a complaint from residents.

Ill be in chaddy xmas shopping this weekend too kamikaze, and like you im also totally fine free.

Im not a city native, ive only been living in the city for around a year, where im from even parking in the CBD is free, so im just not one to agree with the amount of laws and rules there are in Melbourne to penalise people in regards to things as inane and un-important as parking (within reason of course). Disagree if you will, but its simply my opinion.

If i was one to have quite a bit outstanding, i would be smart and not take the offending vehicle to places where it could be detained.

Dude, its not rocket science. Don't break the pretty (mostly)simple laws, don't get fines. Get fines, pay them(if you can't, get a payment plan), Don't pay the fines, get clamped.

      I wouldn't look too hard at what they did with the R32 GTR in endurance racing in Australia... Lots of things weren't actually available from the factory in the way those cars ran them... Japan also followed what Fred Gibson was doing here with some of there endurance cars in Japan... Australia is also the reason for things like the Brembo brakes, and the change in the gearbox... And quite a few other tricks they used to pull. There's a few other SAU peeps still on these forums that will have heard the stories direct from Alan Heaphy, Fred Gibson, and Jim Richards when we were lucky enough to have a great dinner with them

      For all the talk of "these parts are junk" I generally recommend OEM because it's really not as bad as claimed. I have never seen or heard of a case like the N63 where the oil returns completely clog with coked oil for example in ~10 years or less. Would it be nice if it were a straighter path? I guess, but most modern cars use a scavenge pump instead of a pure gravity return. Also the factory lines that would be relatively simple to convert to braided are generally speaking hardlines from the factory. I would consider braided line to be a regression, not an improvement. It's also been engineered such that all the hardlines have appropriate strain relief where needed. There's absolutely room for improvement, for example the HKS advantage heritage intake piping shows just how much can be done to make the turbos fight each other less in OEM twin turbo configuration and reduce compressor surge but it's rarely a simple/straightforward process. I recommend looking at what the group A/N1 cars did, generally speaking the changes they made were necessary and proven in endurance racing.

      Turn signal wiring question

      Yes, multi relays needed, and possibly a diode. I'm not actually going to think about it though.

      So I'm confident in saying its TCS thing. My new cluster I never realized didn't even have bulbs in the TCS or Slip slots. Shining a light through the backside that black plate has nothing for it, unlike my original cluster. Looking at the service manual the only thing that stands out is TCS in relation to the vehicle speed, it has nothing to do with turbos. It sadly looks like I may just need to get the appropriate cluster.
