hi guys

im just wondering, has anyone been done at a school zone camera out of school hours?

because i was travelling towards parramatta on Woodville Rd Cnr of Kenelda St & Osgood St, in Guilford ...

the cameras are new with Orange painted posts. Its for the school of Granville South Public school.

i was trying to catch the lights, it didnt occur to me that there was a camera till i passed it.

i didnt recall it flashing, but im starting to think that person who gets the flash, wont see it because your travelling the other way....oncomming traffic ive always witnessed people getting flashed.

http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/roadsafety/speed...schoolzone.html

thats the link, and it claims that speed cameras for schools also act as a speed camera.

so can anyone shed some light on this?.....

as in..have you been flashed afterhours in school camera? do you see the flash from behind at night???

AFAIK they haven't finished it yet. I go past it everyday for work and l last went past friday and it wasn't finished.

hi there

actually i looked it up on that list.......i got the address wrong......the one mentioned is further up near parramatta in guilford...

which is near a KFC i recall.....but this isnt the one..this one i think is working, it doesnt have organe painted posts.

because on the list of cameras @ RTA.NSW.GOV.Au... the only one on woodville rd is the one mentioned above..

i figured it may have been too new to be put on there...

the one i was talking about is next to a CALTEX petrol station between Fairfield St & Orchardleigh St...

near the new huge Bing Lee & Western toyota dealer...is that the one your thinking of too?

and how do you know its not functional yet?

I'm pretty sure it will have a flash cause the second pole (one behind the camera) still has wires sticking out of it...

Answer the question about those cameras after school hrs.

Ive been caught once in a school zone at 1am. assuming it was a 60zone, i was doing 60km, but i ended up finding out it was a 50km zone.

But for me, i saw the flash, was more of an orange flash though. cost me a fair bit and a few points.

Im going to skip the dribble and lay it out.

I rang the RTA in a similar circumstance. If not on the website the camera is not in effect. It cannot issue a fine (in theory, and according to RTA)

No flash = Infrared flash I.E invis to naked eye.

Just post a letter and copy of the fine to the address on the back to alert them to the fact, you may also want to let them know signs had not been on display before the camera. Legally required 3 in total.

Now just a tip if you are chasing a light, you most likely are still speeding through the zone at its normal speed limit.

Hope it helps :down:

yeah i knwo what you mean, but this camera is right next to a set of traffic lights, makes it a pain in the ass

not in a school zone...

but after hours of school, its generally 60km/h

so if you were going 80 you wouldve got done for 15 and over

but in school hours...80 = Loss of liscence!

As Fatz said, the signs are a courtesy and not a legal requirement. They are not a gazetted traffic sign in the road rules 2008 (However the speed limit symbol on the sign is). There is no excemption from a speeding offence in the Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) Act 1999 if signs arent present.

The only sign legally required to enforce a speed limit apart from the default 50km/h limit (Which requires no signage at all) Is a speed restriction or derestriction sign.

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
