Seems like the good old parking people at curtin have invested in a laser radar gun.

Drove in today, speed limit is 30, was doing 80-90, someone flashed me, i though WTF, slowed down, and doing about 40, round a gentle corner, my radar detector went crazy on the laser band.

Brakes on. nose down, he knew, and kept the thing on me for the entire street. He couldnt get me, i just shook my head at him in disgust.

Anyone know how long this has been going on?

The max fine is $50, im thinking of doing 130 so im 100 over and copping the $50 just so i can frame the fine, anyone interested in sponsoring me?

so long as they cant get me for anything else.

Much as I despise speed cameras, but what were you doing doing 80-90 around the carpark areas? And to do 130....erm, there are ppl that will be walking in the carparks right??? :D

I can't be a hypocrite and say don't drive fast, but at least I don't drive fast where there is a high density of parked cars, along with their owners in a closed off area.

I saw a security git standing around with one near manning rd entrance when I went in on Friday morning. Last heard, they rented this equipment out from time to time. Seems like they've bought one to keep, given the number or apperances of the laser radar recently.

What I'd really like to do, is speed past them (not hard with a 30kmh limit) and not stop when they motion you to. A chase with the 4 cab security ute or dinky softroader would make my day :D

I got a fine from curtin in like 99 or something and i basically didnt pay and was like "bah what u punks gonna do abou it?"

This month i got hit by a collection agency for the fine plus a $50 late fee:lol: well i could continue on this path of destruction but it would probably destroy my credit rating;)

the moral: dont think you got away with it just because you dont recieve a fine in the first 3months after (i think gradenko knows what im talking bout here eh?):D

Haha funny you mention that, last year my mate was driving through curtin late one night, when a security car chased him, he thought he would get done for trespassing or something so decided to try run in his diesel Nissan Patrol... bad move, ended up fishtailing out of kent st -> manning rd give way, then ploughed into a flag pole. If you look there now theres only 1 pole there, used to be 2. The flag pole fell onto the other side of the road and a falcon cleaned it up, eating the front end. Mate lost his license (was on p plates and only had it for about a month).

Whats Perth coming to:

SECURITY BULLETIN 1/02 12 August 2002

To:   All Staff and Students  

On Friday 9 August 2002 at 1710 hours two male members of staff were walking to their car parked in car park 25. They saw what appeared to be 2 males picking a fight with another male. As the staff members approached the three males they were asked what they were looking at and became the victims of a robbery. The suspects assaulted the two staff members and stole property from them. The assailants then ran towards Hayman Road and got into a Burgundy coloured Mitsubishi Magna car. The index is unknown.  

SUSPECT DESCRIPTION  

The offenders appeared to be of Middle Eastern appearance, short

and stocky.

CAUTION  

If any similar activity is seen on campus do not approach the suspects but please call security on ext 4444 or dial 5, if using a mobile telephone dial 9266 4444.  Our control room operator will call the Police Service.

scary, but those security guys are pretty out of shape.

anyway, i saw him again twice today. I wasnt doing much speed this time though.

I normally do 50-60, but the other day some guys were looking at my car, and well i couldnt resist giving it a squirt, mind you its not 'in' a carpark, rather a long, fairly straight road, if it was outside curtin the limit for such a road would probably be 50-60.

looks like it is working though, im slowing down to 40-50ish so i can get to thirty quickly if need be, the thing is even the curtin cars, including security dont do 30.

And i checked the by-laws, they can fine you, and if you break any WA road rules they can get you for that too, theres the end of me being a smart arse.

    • 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.

    • 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.
