mate there are plenty of opportunities to take your car out on the track if you want to give her a boot - a good session will cost you less than the speeding ticket, and all you need is a helmet (i think you can borrow from qr), long pants and a good attitude :(

Unfortunately the days of getting out of a ticket due to officers faults are long gone! I remember mum telling me how she used to get dad and my cousin many moons ago off of speeding tickets etc because one little detail was wrong like a number, address or type of car.

These days officers dont have to get your details 100% which is just crazy! If they cant copy your licence how can they be sure they have gotten you speeding under the correct guidlines and operating proceedures.

I had a parking ticket once which i challanged, because the distance i was parked away from the corner was 3 inches too many, the officer was gone and i didnt have a tape measure!!! My old car was a green vrx lancer 01.VRX sedan and they wrote down a black coupe with VRX.01! Couldnt get much wrong than that!

My friend is an officer and they have to go through so many tests, fitness, typing lol lol, swimming, mental evaluation yet they dont get tested on how to copy down a licence!

:down:

well i successfully got out of a ticket about 4 years ago

he filled my name out wrong, wrong car color wrong rego number, wrong date, wrong street, didnt write the speed / points deduction (when i rang the station he then increased my speed by another 5k's an hour) asked to speak to his superior, informed him how unprofessional the police officer was and that he failed to follow even the slightest bit of police protocol (refused to show me the speed gun with my speed on it) cops says ill cancel the ticket, the officer will be reprimanded for it..

maybe i was just lucky tho

are you sure the ticket was for you...?

maybe you just randomly picked up somebody else's ticket...

i think it may have been easier just to list the things he got right

^^ lol yeah it was for me, i was heading toward him, he went past me, did a u-bolt and he pulled me over..

the only things he got right was the time of infringement and the make of my car.. + also his name..

he was such a kent about it, asked to see the speed read out, he refused so i copped it on the chin, rang his station to speak to someone in charge.. the prick who gave me the ticked was put on the phone and he says to me, oh yeah i got your speed reading wrong u were actually doing 5km's more than i said. I said to him, mate you just can't change it now, put your senior officer on.. explained it to him, he said mate ill cancel the ticket and ill reprimand the officer who gave it to you..

booyah

That's really good as it sounds like that particular cop was out for you for no real reason. Generally the coppers are good blokes but there are the tossers amongst them. My brother in law is actually a police officer and he says there are some serious tools in the force but at least in general their pretty good

    • Hey, guys, I’m hoping I can find answer here. I have already done some searching and asking around but still nothing.    I fitted an IC7 dash in my R32 GTR, and I got everything displaying on the dash except my high beams. I get input voltage and the high beams displaying in the dash when I pull the lever, but not when I fully engage the high beams. I spliced into the Red/Blue Beam+ wire in the black center connector from the cluster, but there is also a black Beam wire I think I need to use as well. The high beams still work. It’s just a matter of getting it to display on the dash.    Has anyone fully wired in their IC7 properly ? I would appreciate any guidance on this.    IMG_8835.mov    
    • I buy my wheel cleaner in 4 litre bottles now. Euro brakes are brutal
    • Sounds like it may all just be some baseless outrage stoked by the carexplore guy? As in the linked social media outrage on facebook just goes back to carexplore as a source again. Further shown by the council response that nothing actually has changed: "The Private Land Use Permit has been part of the Casey Community Local Law for a number of years. It's important to clarify that this permit is not new, and no changes have been made to the permit or the Local Law in relation to the permit." The full council response in Prank's link sounds reasonable to me. Saying that as someone who neither lives there nor has a front yard to call their own  
    • Clutch hydraulics are also all good, looks like a brand new slave cylinder and everything bled up well. No idea what the actual clutch is, and I don't intend to pull the box off on the floor to find out, so unless we have trouble on the dyno or at shakedown that will remain a mystery for the new owner
    • Front brakes are G4 8 pot calipers over 330mm discs with braided lines. Everything looks good, pretty sure these are off my old 350. Pads are brand new and judging from gold colour are Winmax which is what I also run on my race car, Neil and I both sourced brake stuff from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney who really knows his stuff Everything has bled up nicely with all new Motul RBF600 fluid, there were 2 loose hard line connections and the calipers were new on the car so I ended up doing it 3 times but it is perfect now
