Just as the title says. I've noticed a lot of them around now, 2 new ones are currently being built on silver water road on the M4 on and off north and south bound.

The one on pennant hills road at observatory park @ pennant hills goes off with out fail while i'm waiting at the red light. No body is speeding bad, but people are doing under 10km/hr over the limmit and are probably starting to loose their licences.

Here is the link from the RTA of the current/proposed locations.

Keep a look out guys, it is usually a stupid unintentional mistake.

2 new ones (one each way) on Great Western Hwy at Westmead being built at the moment. They won't be far off completion either.

They're just as you come up the hill where it goes from 80 to 60 and you have a set of lights to go right onto M4 citybound, and the bus lane on the left.

come to act. all speed cameras have 20 signs before it with the speed you should be doing. undercover car are easily picked out and the vans sit in the same places, you will soon learn where they sit and most people flash you anyway or just slow before a known location. simple.....

This state is starting to feel like Victoria. Might be time to head north....

That sounds like a plan, that or move to Europe.

i'd rather cut off my right nutt thanks :) lol just kidding. My mate tells me all this good stuff about the act when it comes to driving. ANd is it true there hasn't been a p plate fatality in the act in some ridiculous amount of time? 10 years or more?

i know its a crazy idea and all but you could just drive at the speed limit.

GTFO with your crazy talk! I shall knowingly disregard all road rules and then complain when I get pulled up for it like any other road user!

/sarcasm ;)

I'm not saying it's right to do it, but these cameras are only getting average drivers, people that are doing usually 1-10km/hr over the limmit, it's hardly worth loosing a licence over. They are not getting dangerous drivers or intentional speeders ect.... everyone goes a few km's over the limmit every now and then, through lack of adequate concentration, road surface, slopes, to get out of someones blind spot ect....

either way thats the law and they are the rules, we have to love them or not participate in the roulette of driving.

check running red lights and speeding at the same time is safe

Well if you came to that conclusion, then I think you were already missing a few brain cells before opening this page. FYI the signage is very hard to notice, it is a 24 hour speed camera and it doesn't matter if the red light camera part is activated or not, doing 1km/hr over is hardly being unsafe and that is all you need to cop it from one of these, and no one said anything about running red lights, you did that all on your own sweet heart :bunny:

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • 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?
