Hey all

Just a heads up, there is a new perminant speed camera at the Grenfel/Frome intersection (its aimed at people comming into the city along Grenfel).

Not that you would be speeding anyway but they r dodge so take it slow :P

Cheers,

spangers

Yes, well we must be aware of those "blackspots" in the city.

More proof they don't care about making roads safer ... just making money! :)

Ever notice when they stick a camera up at a set of lights, it always faces the direction with the increased change in speed limit? Never any of the other 3 directions.

Take Sturt Rd/Marion Rd for instance. A majority of the vehicle crashes actually occur in the direction not captured by the camera (east-west). :laugh:

Another famous one is the one crossing on West Tce. Funny how they changed speed limit signs at that intersection to catch people out. 2002, revenue from speed cameras fell by $2M, so what did they do? They introduced the 50kph limit in "built up areas". Our streets were getting safer, its what they CLAIMED they wanted, but then they change the rules and make us all crims for driving at 60! And it made them look good on paper to the Govt to spend more money on trying to catch the law breakers that THEY created!

:banana:

EDIT: I rarely get caught for speeding .. maybe once every two years for 3-5kph over, so I'm not ranting because I'm sore about getting caught. I'm ranting because it is clearly revenue raising and they think we are stupid.

If we ALL drove at 50 and their revenue went down, they'd just lower other limits all over SA, maybe even lower 50 to 40! Some day in the next 5 years, it might take us days to travel interstate with the speed limit being 80kph, or 70kph even.

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
