Has anyone got caught and been summoned an infringement notice by the Maribyrnong City Council?? I just received one in my letter box on Friday for apparently stopping at a Loading Zone?!??!

I just stopped there to answer a phone call and i'm being fined $117??? Can i contest this at all?

Can someone share some of their experiences please. Thanks.

You just admitted you parked illegally - so no?

Write a letter, you might get off however that is unlikely as you broke the law unfortunately.

LOL Ash..sometimes you have to reply with the most direct/straight forward answers. ;)

Anyone else with personal experiences on this issue and managed to get away with it? ;)

literally happened to me 3wks ago on collins st. it was a shared zone, i saw the 1p but failed to see the loading zone. what confused me more was that there were 2 other parked cars in the same zone, so i put feedback through the melbourne city website asking for leniency, and received a letter almost immediately saying they acknowledge my plight, however pay us or die, and that the cars parked in that zone must have been commercial (admittedly one was a ute however the other was a wrx). just unlucky really, all i can say is be more careful next time (as will i!) ;)

Sorry i would have put some sugar on it... but im working... @ 12:30am, on a sunday, that maketh me angry!

Especially when im in the middle of the bourne trilogy hahah :P

Can't you make up some excuse like.... You ran over something and you thought it had popped your tyre, so you went out and checked and when you got back into the car and about to leave, that's when they caught you?

just off chapel the other night i saw 2 parking inspectors walking around ticketing stacks of cars.

at the corner of one side street i saw them having a bit of an argument with one guy due to the sign said no standing which was across the top half of the sign but underneath that there was a green sign which had parking hours on it - this was all one sign..

he was inside those parking hours yet they were telling him to move or he will get a ticket due to the clearway part..

lol where to parks!?

Were you sitting in the car? If so I would 100% write a letter saying that you'd simply pulled over with the engine running and had not exited the car. Explain why you had pulled over etc.

:D

OUCH! Working on a sunday night I'd be pissed!! Go ban some spammer or issue warnings to vent your anger! :D

Yup, i was sitting in the car using my mobile phone. Had to accept the call as it was important. :) I will be requesting the picture which was 'taken' from their wonderful camera though.

If only the town council have half the brains, they can use the money spent on these cameras to patch up the damn pot holes on the roads instead! And maybe more police around the area to make it safer! :P

What about stopping under a sign then getting out to read the bloody thing to see if it is OK to stop or park?

Sometimes they have so many signs and so many with tiny writing etc that you can't really read it safely whilst at a moving pace. You really have to stop so you aren't blocking traffic, then get out and have a look before deciding if you can stop/park or not. If I got booked in that situation I would be PISSED off.

yeah i got done after a parking lot attendant directed me to a car park, got a fine for parking in a permit zone, wrote a letter to the local council explaining what happened, havent heard back from them so i guess i got off, that was over a year ago.

a letter will only take 5mins.

I got $195 fine for parking in a no parking zone, anyway I wrote the letter to the council and saying that there were a drunken guy ran across the road and I had to stomp on my break which caused my engine to stall, then my car would not start and had to push the car to the no parking zone and wait for help to arrive.... and the council let me go, but my battery was actually almost dead at that time, all I have to do is buying a new battery and show them the invoice.

Wow ok... Was that from the same council as mine? or different?

That's quite a story there lol. Also, you can just buy a new battery, but refund it right away after you photocopy the invoice :D

It was actually in Perth, and it was a clubbing area so parking are really really hard to find or gonna cost like 5 beers to park the car at the pay parking area. :D I could have refund but I needed a new battery anyway so no harm to my hip pocket :D

    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
    • I know right. It baffled me. There's no way when the engine is off, key is in ignition, (coils are dissconnected aswell), also my sound system was dissconnected (I don't run any audio capacitors), battery reads 12.2v and with the 10amp fuse blown I was measuring 24 to 30v. The reading would move a bit from 30v to 24v which was weird. I took a pic of the multi meter reading 🤣: (This is a brand new single channel digital oscilloscope that also has a multi meter mode).   Before when the fuse was blown, I had one lead on the 12v supply (green/white wires) of that brown relay and the other lead on the negative battery terminal. When I turned the key on ignition (engine off), it would read 30v. Then when I removed that relay from it's plug and tried putting ignition on again, it would read 12v, but I think it's because it can't turn on the ecu now that I removed it. I asked Chatgpt and this is what it had to say:   Not sure if those theories would be possible but, any auto sparkies here? welcome to confirm. 🤷‍♂️  No idea, but if it happens again, atleast I know what type of issue it is, unlike last few months where I didn't know what was causing all my issues and I was just taking stabs in the dark to figure out what type of problem it was. If it does happen again I'm going to investigate futher and trace back the source even more and inspect more circuits. I drove it to work this morning and the car drove and boosted fine. Yeah I was thinking the same, so I've imported my back up saved map (which is the map that I saved when it got done tuning) back onto my haltech with the base fuel pressure set to 43.5psi.
    • Yeh nice, if your in melbourne could you recommend any exhaust shops in the east that do a good job?
    • Sorry yes, this is what im after Also, that jpjdm site appears to be offline
