Well I'm sure you guys are aware of that red light camera at the intersection at Kambah Village?

The one that SUPPOSED to only snap you if you run the red light, and (as far as I was aware) ONLY snap you for speeding if you were speeding when you went thru the red light??????

WELL it seems it is now a STAND ALONE SPEED CAMERA and can get you just like those fcking vans, whether you run the red light or not :D

When did this happen?? why has it changed? and why the fck didn't they let people know????

sorry, I'm PISSED OFF right now :D

came home to find THREE speeding tickets in my letterbox...all from last week while coming home from nightshift at 2 o'clock in the morning, three lanes all to myself, not another single bloody car on the entire road....and all for doing LESS THAN 10kms OVER THE LIMIT

89 in an 80 zone...how fcked is that?? :(

I'm pretty lucky I was going that slow, coming off the parkway it's pretty easy to keep doing 100 along there, especially in the middle of the night when there's no one else on the road.

aaargh!! they can go to hell, revenue raising wankers...

that is all :mad:

absolutely Daniel, I have no problems with red light cameras at all, you know it's there, so you don't run the red light - simple! (not that I ever run red lights anyway).

But the lights were on green when I went through, not a single other car on the road :)

I just hate the fact that they've sneakily changed the way that camera operates without telling anyone. Arseholes. :D

thanks jay, yeah it sucks and yes i'm fuming :uh-huh:

especially since i have three fines...all 1 point and $118 each

oh well...the main point of this is to let you all know how it operates now (and also to let me have a big BITCH session :D )

Since the gov obviously didn't want to let us in on the secret, I hope this might at least stop any of you guys from getting pinged too :D

they always have been stand alone speed cameras not only the one in Kambah. all three in belco, three in civic and the one in weston on hindmarsh dr. they all have signs saying that there are speed and red light cameras ahead and its your sillyness for speeding through them. sorry for sounding a bit harsh and i hate them as well. But what can ya do??

yeah, my sillyness i guess...

anyway now I know.

I went and paid one of the fines at the Wanniassa PO and the lady who runs the shop was very surprised to hear they could snap you on a green light - and her husbands a cop...so i guess I'm not alone, there seems to be a bit of confusion around.

If it's always been a "stand alone" speed camera, then i'm at aloss to explain how I've never been busted before. I've lived in that area ever since they were installed (2 or 3 years ago??) and have gone thru that intersection heaps of times at well over 80kms.

Anyway thanks for letting me have a bitch

drive safely everyone!! :D

    • 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).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
