Slow Down On Miller St North Sydney - Police Patrolling


Recommended Posts

During school zones when there are kids roaming about, anyone in the area should slow down. Particularly at the moment as the Police are cracking down something fierce on speeding drivers during school hours.

I work near the North Sydney Oval on Miller St and have seen dozens of cars pulled over by the cops for doing about 50km/h or just over, so you've been warned!

This Applies for the AM mostly on Pacific Highway Chatswood. They will pull you over a long way down close to artarmon. Its not hard to slow down for 40 zones I think its a great idea.

Must be blitzing in a couple of areas at the moment.

Just over this last week they've been going mad here in Nth Syd. I know this subject's has been covered before, but a couple of things annoy me:

* The way that some of the cops were flagging people down - almost as if they were criminals. If they're doing something like 55+ then fair enough, but not all were;

* School zone signs that are hidden by trees, or not lit / do not have flashing lights, especially when there's lots of irrelevant signage in the surrounding area.

Having said that, the cops generally do a great job and catching speeders in school zones is completely justified.

Not speeding related, but still useful advice: Don't turn left into Park St in Sydney city if you're heading south along George St- The bit of Park St in between George St and Pitt St eastbound has been turned into one big bus-lane, and the police have been waiting next to the kerb lately to catch people (you won't see them until you've already made most of the turn, then you're toast; $238 and 3 points). You can bet they'll get a few hectik-lappers on saturday nights with this one.

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
