NT's speed derestriction is no more.

NT's NEW maximum rural default speed limit is 110km/h.

Some key NT highways are to have signposted 130km/h speed limits.

Other changes are a demerit points system based on the national model, and increased fine levels for speed and other offences.

So... what's the use of the NT now? What's it for? ;)

Feeding crocodiles tourists?

Ah dont worry about it not being policed, if they can drag enough money out of the population they'll have extra highway patrols up there in no time.

im a darwin boy, and ima haf to say that shiet is teh ghey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..

nah. death tolls for road accidents always been low in the NT. only reason they have done this is obviously for Revenue raising. because most people dont speed excessively.. 120 is average.

similar thing in amsterdam, alot less people there actually smoke pot!..

LoL but man they are ripped on all the other stuff! HAHA!

I was watching this on the 7:30 report last night, NT's drink driving numbers are EIGHT times the national average.

Then they started talking about single passenger vehicle roll overs and talked about people not wearing seat belts and being drunk.

BUT, to combat that.............................................they've reduced the speed limits.

No seat belt + rollover at ANY speed = death

Drunk + ANY speed can = death...

FFS. Speed limits wont stop drunk people speeding!

im not going to say anything racist here, but i wonder whose been doin all this....

a few of my dads mates were all up there for a riding tour, cruisin down whatever strip it was at about 160... when a ute comes flyin past em, with like 5-6 people in the back, then a trailor with about 10 more people in there. lol when they got to the other end, there were supposedly less people than when they started but luckily i dont think any of em could count to 16 :D

Please excuse the rant

Id be a little careful with even suggesting racism. Aboriginal people own skylines as well, and implied racism is just as bad as overt. Im not saying that there werent that many people in a ute and trailer, but suggesting people cant count becuase they are aboriginal is a cr@p.

Why do people with closed minds always open their mouth.

I know. Its brilliant.

If I ever become a surgeon and have to treat a politician for gunshot wounds, I'm going to prescribe him some Panadol and send him on his way.....since that's the same philosophy as their attempts to curb the road toll.

The NT Government are trying to fix what isn't broken.

Deaths are from not wearing seat belts, running red lights and drink driving. How many RBT's have I seen from Jan until now? Two. We have red light cameras that don't work, literally, and the seat belts are a huge issue out in the communities or on rural roads. Single vehicle accidents, usually a roll over on a dirt road from over correcting will take care of those who want to pile 10 people into a landrover.

The majority of our speed related deaths, have been in suburban areas on speed limited roads.

Go figure...

IMO I think the Government are trying to get rid of the Cannonball run or any posibility that it will return. Sure, there are deaths on our open roads, but there are deaths on your 100kph roads too. I agree in saying our road toll is high, but it has nothing to do with the highway.

    • There's another sensor that sits inside the evaporator, that's a C U N T to get to, but can be done without removing the entire unit. Usually it's not the sensor that dies but the actual capacitor in the circuit (part of the plug that dies).  
    • Putting the climate control CU into diagnostic mode is independent of the ECU. You just have to do the dance prescribed in the manual. No, I do not know what the dance is. I have an R32, so use the dance in the R32 manual. On older cars, I would have said "no, the ECU should not affect whether the A/C works".... but for an R34 that might be wrong. I don't recall the detail, but there was extra mods required to make my R32 A/C work against the R34 ECU. The R34 ECU apparently gets involved in the running of the A/C more than earlier cars did. Theoretically, if the PFC is a true plug in, then it should just work the way that the original ECU does - wrt A/C. But there's always scope for them to have not cared. Nope. Pressure switch out = getting the fridgey out to pump the gas out before pulling the switch. The switch really cannot sense gas pressure unless it is up against the gas.
    • Hi guys, thanks for the replies.  I will have to wait till summer to test properly, but it short cycles both when heating and cooling. I’ve ordered a new internal temp sensor that sits under the vent in the steering wheel also, GTSBOY, I have an Apexi FC ecu, I’m assuming I won’t be able to diagnose or would it still work? Could the ecu be causing the problem??   the pressure switch is quite cheap I will get a new one and try it out, hopefully it doesn’t require purging the refrigerant again?
    • Do you know what size restrictor? Just flushed it with the Prestone flush & then water numerous times until the water ran clear, still looks rusted & will no doubt cause trouble later.
