Hey guys,

Last nite round 8ish i was exiting Salisbury Hwy at the signed 80km/h. Once merging to go on Pt Wakefield Rd i accelerated to 90km/h in order to get in front of the road trains fast approaching, but also to my knowledge that part of the road is 90...guess not? FLASH! I was greeted by a silver Ford Falcon radar & as i looked back saying various obsenities, i noticed it going off like fireworks hence suggesting everyone else thought it was a 90 zone also.

Anyone know the limit of this area of Pt Wakefield? Seems as tho this was merely an easy revenue raiser, not happy Janice! ;)

I had my picture taken this morning on Dashwood Road, Beaumont - I didn't realise it was a 50 zone - saw the flash and reckon I was doing about 58km/h - the 50km/h sign was shortly after it - thing that sucks most is that Dashwood Rd is a wide, open road (albeit with a few houses on it) - and it is a hard yellow line road in the street directory, which means it is a SEMI-MAIN road - how can it be 50km/h? Dang it

I know the camera thats at the Exit Salisbury to Pt Wakefield... I got flashed once but I guess at the time I got flashed I was on the inside lane with another car slightly behind me. Lucky! Or maybe its the other car that was speeding.... I'll never know.

They often have a camera there... people speed up to merge and with a higher speed limit sign little bit ahead people tend to speed up as they merge and get to the next sign's speed limit... but thats where the camera gets ya.

that's sneaky :D

coz they know most would have to speed to merge into Pt Wakefield rd

you shouldnt have to speed to merge onto pt wakefield rd (or any road)...........a better choice of phrasing there would be better................as for something to do with driving to the traffic (yeah its a pain to slow down but you have to sometimes)

also watch the speed limits along pt wakefield rd atm............at least thru to waterloo cnr road.......it drops off 90 a few times........back to 80 past some excavations, 60 past some of the works, and even down to 40 and 25 at the waterloo cnr lights

and next thurs it'll be 25 past the bit by martins road............as we'll b there again tryin to move the stobie poles over

legally speaking yes

going around the bend and merging into traffic, that's the best bit to pounce on it >_>

u just have to look out for late those model cummys and fords sitting on the side of the road

Bad luck dude, but it's 80km/h through there. If you're heading into the city, Port Wakefeild changes to 80km/h between Globe Derby and that intersection (just befere the right hand turning lane starts) You would have had your own lane there so I'm guessing you were heading out of the city. The limit out is still 80km/h and changes up to 90km/h 100m or so up from the merge lane.

I don't agree with cameras near merging areas, I think it is more important to be paying attention to what's around you rather than looking at the dash.

      I recently got their dbw 74mm throttle body and pedal kit. It is sensational quality especially the wiring harnesses. Unfortunately I can’t answer u about the fitment to stock inlet manifold as I’m going Rahjab Racing forward plenum. Only one thing to be careful of is understand u have to pay gst and import fees if your purchase is over $1,000 in one shipment.

      yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.
