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.

    • The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.    
    • Bit wet, but YUMMY
    • Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.
    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
