yeah, unfortunately their counter argument would hold substantial weight.

you know, speed cameras save lives and all that.

one of those necessary evil arguments.

But you still need to look out for cop cars tho.

yes there is 1 there. ive fired up a few commy drivers and slamed the breaks just b4 it b4 :( good times... bloody proud vn drivers... haha.

Kinda offtopic: Is it true that there is satellite speed tracking on south-eastern freeway? I heard it from my friend... but I wouldnt be so sure about it...

first ive heard of it, and ive driven that freeway about 60 thousand times.

I got flashed while going through a green before, was pretty stressed out for a long time, but all good now (~8month past now & nothing...)

Funny thing was, while I was going through the intersection & getting flashed, the car behind me, (driven by what looks like a house wife picking up kids),as soon as she saw the flashes she fully stepped on the brakes & did a full stop in the middle of the intersection... dumb b*tch ;)

doubt it. if it even exists, itd be ridiculously expensive technology to use for speed enforcement.

Not hard to spot

- usually latest model Ford/Commodore

- Number plates are normal SA or SA gov plates, but never have the car yard black plastic trim around the plate

- usually have luvres on the rear window

its a habit of mine to slow down if i ever pass a new model commodore or falcon on the side of the road, then look in the rear view for the little flasher on the front bar ;)

thats exactly what i do too damo

i have found out in the past that they dont give out all of the locations of mobile flashers

so be aware of that as well

as for satelite tracking on the freeway

shit i better hope not as it would be an expensive exercise

they use sat tracking on some highways as a way to measure how fast trucks have done over a set time vers distance thing . and too see if they have pulled up for rest periods ect ect its here now and has been for a while

There are observation cameras at various points that (I'm led to believe) CAN be used to determine if your average speed between points is too high - I believe they're usually primarily used to catch truckies who've removed the limiters on their trucks or dodge their logbooks.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
