Lend me your eyes, oh posse!

I left work this afternoon, turned a corner (albeit somewhat sideways?) and went up the hill, never more than 65kmph... speed camera truck on opposite side of the road, on the side where traffic would be going downhill.

It flashed as I was coming up to it :D

Do you think its possible the guy inside set it off manually to get my plates etc?

OR is it more likely someone going the other way was speeding at the same time? Which side of the road/which way do they face?

EDIT: Yes, dumb, I know... shouldn't be doing stupid things.

They for the side of the road they're on - you should be fine.

OR - they take photos of the traffic going the same direction that their camera is pointing (usually the same side of the road they're on - but I've heard of some vans that have 2 cameras)

But I still think you'll be fine.

why did u want me to go home?

well... my car is driving like a charade, really need to put that goo on my coil pack. I was supposed to go to Jason's place to do it... but he's disappeared off the face of the earth... and I don't have sockets :D

Hmmmmm thanks for that... yeah I just hate the feeling in the pit of my stomach right now :D So dumb hahahaha ah well

What do you need sockets for? Removing crossover pipe + coilpack cover etc? Or are you without coilpack cover? If you're without then you just need a phillips head screw driver... although you've probably thought of that already hahaha

unlucky. I can probably give u a lift if you need - call/sms me if you do as I'm about to p*ss off

It's driveable (just) so don't need a lift, thanks though!

removing strut brace, crossover pipe and blow off valve.

got allan keys and screwdrivers. Thought about trying it with my shifters, but it'd probably take me all fkn day

True where do you live? You can swing by mine and do it in my driveway if you want tonight?

That does not sound good

so, i finished work not too long ago, now im chillin here, just assembled my new snap-on air compressor, its a little oversized to say the lest.

I need a 15amp power point wired into my garage now......

they can get you on both sides of the road. old boss got done by one with me in the car. camera was on the other side, flashed as he went past doing 70. got the fine two weeks later.

good luck. hopefully it was for someone on the other side.

That compressor looks bad ass :blush:

Don't the cameras have to point the same direction that the car is travelling though?

    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts  
    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
