sup guys :cool:

i know some clown (or maybe many) will probs try to flame me saying shit like "just dont speed dickhole" "buy a skyline" etc etc, but anyways, here is a heads up about speed cameras over Easter, and maybe beyond which i just found

so drive safe :D

Covert speed cameras will be deployed on Queensland roads for the first time from Thursday, coinciding with the traditional Easter holiday break.

Descriptions of the three unmarked vehicles containing the hidden cameras are such closely guarded secrets that not even the Police Minister knows what they look like.

In all likelihood they will not know until the letter arrives in the mail. Not that I condone speeding I just don't believe that this is the way to fix the problem. They claim it all for the road toll but if you actually look at the % for fatalities on QLD roads its quite... sobering =P

Two unmarked police motorcycles will also join the war on speed, with officers dressed as normal riders to catch unsuspecting motorists.

From what I've heard there are two white Gen 2 Hayabusa's in Bris..

they have very small police markings on windscreen & rear hump

*rolls eyes* Definitely not the way to solve speeding problems. Hidden mobile vans etc.. don't make people slow down unless they see them. Yes they shouldn't be speeding, but a mobile radar that is "out of site" isn't going to prevent people speeding and "apparently" reduce accidents.. it's simply a cost effective way of raising revenue whilst having little-to-no effect on the rate of speed related accidents.

There are some roads that are very easy to speed through, some of which can be a bit dangerous to speed on because of the level of intersections on the road. Put up a fixed speed camera and people won't speed through there! oh but then they won't make money....

It wouldn't piss me off so much if they approached this problem better.. but hey it's a bit hard to fix the problem when the problem is making them money. At least put the money back into the roads like they apparently do... i've been driving over the same pot-hole since moving to QLD nearly 3 years ago!

If they really wanted to improve driver behaviour (and by this I don't simply mean speeding), then a greater police presence on the roads is what they need. I'm sure most people when they see a Police car on the road, they pull their ass into line and do the right thing! Undercover police cars are much the same thing as hidden radars in my opinion...they simply catch people of guard, whereas a known police presence ensures that people behave on the roads. Once again though, having a greater police presence on the roads costs money and doesn't make as much revenue as a van parked many meters from the road, much like the one I saw yesterday.

The only issue with that too though is that drivers tend to overreact when they drive into a Police lineup with cameras. You can almost always tell when there's one up ahead as traffic almost comes to a halt!

Of course for drivers of modified imports, a greater presence isn't a good thing either, as lets face it, majority of the time you get stereo-typed and unfairly targeted. Double edged sword I guess.

I think the Australia Government needs to take a page out of other countries to see how they handle these issues. Take a look at Germany for example... this article here pretty much sums up my argument: http://www.caradvice.com.au/60110/fast-is-safe-in-germany/

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By S1_C34 · Posted

      I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
