why the f@ck will u get fined if ur car is unlocked?

doesnt matter whether ur driving or parked....thats totally BS!

No, its only when you leave the car unattended (and I'm assuming you won't be driving in that instance).

Its to stop people from leaving their cars unsecured and walking off, and then having a cry when someone opens the door and steals shit from it. In the past you could make an insurance claim on it (since its theft), but now since you've broken the law they don't have to pay out.

Which is fair enough. Why should insurance companies pay out for your stupidity? If your car was locked and someone broke in, fair enough. But if you're too much of a **** to even lock your own pride and joy when you wander off to pay for petrol or whatever, you deserve what you get.

I could have sworn this law was enacted a couple of years ago. I must have remembered wrong, but in that case they introduced a law a while ago making it illegal to leave your keys in the ignition (car running or not) while unattended. Same reason - people would walk off, and someone else would just hop in to the car and drive it off. Technically its theft so its insurance claimable (and it was costing them quite a bit), but not when you did something illegal to enable it to happen.

Ok

Rule 78 (2) Not move out of path of police/emergancy vehicle : Fine level 6 $300 and 3 points!

Rule 66 (4) Proceed after stopping at twin red lights Fine level 6 $300 and 3 points.

What the hell do you do when there's sirens blazing behind you and your the first car at a red light?!?!?!

I heard stories of someone getting fined for proceeding cause you don't have the authority to proceed even if the cops/fire/ambos are behind you honking their horn at you.

Rule 265 (1)&(3) Passenger 16 years or older not wearing seatbelt. Fine level 5 $225 points 0

Rule 265 (1)&(4) Passenger 16 years or older in front seat when not permitted. Fine level 5 $225 points 0

Umm... thought this was 3 points?!?!?!

No points for transit lanes.

Which is nice since I have drive in one every day for 5+ years now. Which for a $175 fine would make it 13c per day if I get caught one day ;) If there were points i probably would not use it.

Ok someone want to explain the diff between a T way, transit lane and a bus lane (3 points for a bus lane)

Isn't it nice that if you right off another veichale cause of neg driving you get the same level of offence than driving in a bus lane... mmm makes total sence to me (not)

T-Way usually have signs stating T-Way. its the Bus Only Lanes.

and Transit lanes I think are just the T2 or T3.

T2 = two passangers in the car

T3 - Three Passanagers in the car.

kinda makes it worthwhile car pooling.

Don't try to justify your crime....you......you....criminal!!!!

lay off dundan. he needs all the help he can get to be at work on time. I see Kel and duncan like to stroll into work at about 10am by my calculations. go that transit lane son!!

  • 2 months later...

I seriously don't understnad this shit about T2 T3 in Australia, Im from NZ and we don't have that there at all which makes it a lot less confusing, so the majority of time I just ignore it. Now, what is the point to all of lane thing, is it a safety thing or something?

I think I've missed the point with Rule 151(4): Ride motorcycle more than 1.5m from another. I guess than means I can't leave the house unless I have a riding buddy...

Bring on more fines for not keeping left.

Bring on more fines for rear fog lights and highbeaming.

Bring on more fines for hand-held mobiles.

And the best one, Rule CI96A(2), $50 for "Riding bicycle furiously!" Nice.

Guys what's the difference between a burnout and an aggravated burnout?

why the f@ck will u get fined if ur car is unlocked?

AMEN TO YOU BROTHER. im sure it is only if the car is running unattened ie fueling up; turbo timer must be shut off b4 fueling up.

this also means turbo timer must be off even if you want to hang a shit. how ever my freinds ive argued the point when there was a passenger with me that it was not unattended and got off !!!!but i think it was pot luck.

agravated burnout is when you have one arm out the window flipping someone the bird. or if you are doing it on somones front lawn.

Damn. Then they'd probably fine me for having part of my body outside of the vehicle too.

    • For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...
    • I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it. 
    • MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.
    • Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
