I saw a cop hiding behind a power pole today about 50mtrs after the start of the bus lane in his fluro vest. Couldn't see his car until I went aroun the corner. For some strange reason not as many people where using the lane compared to other days. It should be a three lane road and only a bus zone after 8.30am.

Sucks they got you the first time!

Yeah i know it's a pain in the but also to top it off i don't normally go to work that way, i normally head down wells/boundary road but lately it's full of soccer mums and their massive 4wd's. I think i can safely say i'm not going that way to work again.

Can't get much more specific than that^^

Unless google maps is outdated I'm not seeing the bus lane turning onto Governor Road...and unless they extended the length of that slip lane, the slip lane itself isn't even 100 metres.

haha outdated ?

my neighbors still have their tree that they cut down nearly 3yrs ago . . . .

where abouts did you actually get into the lane? By the pic on google maps the start of the solid whit line to the stop mark at the lights is only 78.9673m. I have attached an image of where the 100m distance is at. If you were within that line, i'd be fighting this one, if not then I guess it's tough luck :devil:

The map u posted is wrong side of the intersection...thats heading south..i believe he was heading north..right?? ..its quite a bit longer

I nearly got done on the stud rd bus lanes...they did a blitz there a while back ,..there was a bunch of us in the bus lane when everybody stopped,with no idea police were there, i changed lanes to my right to pass the stopped cars when a crazy copper jumps out in front of me from in front of the stopped cars.., i swerved to miss him as i had no time to brake and kept driving..Figured id get a fine in the mail or something but never did...

have a read i'm unsure how old it is but they way the cops and racv have proposed the way points and fines should be handed out. It's quite interesting

Table 9 Current Speeding Penalties In Victoria

Speed in Excess of			Fine		  Demerit  Points   Plus  Automatic	
That Permitted												Licence			 
														  Suspension		  
1 km/h - 15 km/h			  $105				 1				  -		   
16 km/h - 29 km/h			 $165				 3				  -		   
30 km/h - 39 km/h			 $220				 4			   1 month		
40 km/h - 44 km/h			 $300				 4			   4 months	   
45 km/h - 49 km/h			 $300				 6			   4 months	   
50 km/h or more			   $360				 6			   6 months	   


The Royal Automobile Club of Victoria (RACV) proposed the following new sliding scale of demerit points:  [16]

Table 10 RACV Proposal For Demerit Points For Speeding Offences

Exceeding Speed Limit				   Demerit Points		  
By less than 10 km/h						 nil				
10-19 km/h									1				 
20-29 km/h									2				 
30-39 km/h									3				 
40-44 km/h									4				 
45 km/h or more							   6


Table 11 Victoria Police Proposal for Demerit Points for Speeding

Offences

Exceeding Speed Limit			Demerit Points				 
By less than 16 km/h			 nil							
16-29 km/h					   2							  
30-44 km/h					   4							  
45 km/h or more				  6							  

Subsequently the Police decided to support the status quo.  [23]

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Interesting that it has 2 to the USB stick. Are the ones to the USB stick different? Or labelled anything at all? Telstra 4G is Band 28 is the long range one you want, it's 700mHz. I'm trying to do some reading on the Cel-Fi stuff, but I can't find any decent info online that makes me feel comfortable being able to work out the sort of antennas we could get away to swapping it over to. The antennas I'm starting to do some stuff with at work, are a transparent antenna. They're designed to stick onto the window. Which means you wouldn't even have the antenna outside the car. Volkswagen have just started using the exact same types of antennas on some of their new cars (And from the same antenna manufacturer). But, RF stuff is a bit of a dark art some days, and getting it wrong in your car could make for a terrible waste of money trying to swap antennas :S

      What do you do with all the spares?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm not going to lie Duncan, Saturday and Sunday were pretty rough days. The sort of work I was doing would previously have ended up with me spending about an hour and a half chatting with Neil. Firstly about something I had a question about, and then both of us rambling off on tangents.  I think how Neil did things, and his attitude to getting it done is helping me in part to get this stuff done. Then I can actually do the things I enjoy more easily

      ER, HR bonnet question

      By RBjay34 · Posted

      Talked to another R34 GT-T owner, he said bonnet of his car once fell and slammed from full height because of strong wind at a car show and nothing was damaged or broken, so I guess I'm just overthinking some things but yeah, just making sure I'm not damaging the car anyhow cause wanna keep it for a long time.

      ER, HR bonnet question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I would say 100% that it doesn't matter at all. I have an Al bonnet and I drop it sometimes, push it others. Have done so for 25 years and there's no way to tell that either has caused any problems (because there are no problems).

      yeah, a black 4 door HR, stock AT RB20DE. Was a pretty good daily summer car, it was kept in a garage during winter but previous owner was fighting rust so most of the car was covered with rust undercoating, the trunk, floorpan, it started to rust underneath so I thought it would be better to find other chassis that was taken care better and do rust preventions myself, at least I would know where keep my attention at. Plans are simple, enjoy the car as much as I can, mostly on summer of course, winter here is long and not kind to 90s JDM, I wanna keep it mostly stock like, I'm not a huge fan of GT-R look or any body kits so gonna keep it as metal as possible haha, something more balanced look wise and yeah, work on performance, I was thinking about RB25DET but 20DET actually feels fun, as long as it's reliable I think I might keep it.
