spotted two highway patrols in box hill today near the main tram stop - looks like they were ready to pounce on drivers on each side of whitehorse road

so im guessing they are getting ready to start the blitz >,<

Graeme you're the best.

I'm not surprised they're not using it... even our standard demerit point system is bonkers compared to some I've seen in Europe.

love the cops in Europe... was on the Autostrade in Italy doing about 130-140km/h in the left lane (fast lane) as there were a bunch of trucks in the other lane... a cop comes flying up behind me flashing his lights and tailgating me, I'm thinking fark is he pulling me over!? so I pull into the right lane when I get a gap between trucks and he takes off at least 150km/h+... I was in his way and he was in a hurry apparently lol

cops are always out in numbers here over easter... yaaawn... just make your other half drive... then you can have a few cheeky ones :nyaanyaa:;)

Speed limits in italy etc are 130kmh in general.. my gf was born and lived in rome .. well since forever (she only really just moved here) and the one thing she is paranoid is of speed limits here.

Apparently italians generally don't give much of a shit while speeding, the whole "I'm 10kmh over the 130 limit and someone is telling me to GTFO out of the way" is pretty common. Even if it's the police, lol.

That said, always best to bust out the ol Camry on long weekends :P

Yah the European roads are brilliant quality as well. I drove in a 130 zone at 180 quite a bit of the way from Barcelona through Andorra to Claremont Ferrand, even past cops, and did't once have any trouble.

My motorcycle coach was a mechanic for the Repsol Honda Moto GP team for 17 years and they used to speed the massive trucks through the country, get pulled over then bribe the cops with merch lol. Then again my other friend who lives in Barcelona got beat up by the cops in the city. There's always a flip side I guess.

I wish there was double penalty for the idiot I caught tonight. Drives from western suburbs to eastern suburbs 45 minutes whilst heavily intoxicated. Hits the barrier in city link 3 times and keeps going, crashes into 2 cars in Glen Waverley and keeps going. Finally we catch him leaving the scene. He blows almost 6 times the limit. Nice effort IDIOT

      Is r33 gtr steering wheel the same as the gtst?

      By PotatoCake · Posted

      The steering wheel on my 97 s3 gtr is a little bit worn out, so im on the hunt for something mint. I notice that this type of steering wheel is on several other nissan's of the era.  Does anyone know if their all identical, or are there slight differences? I feel like gtr tax applies to anyone selling one, but if it comes from any other car the price is much less, even though its the same design.  Chat gpt says the material for the gtr is slightly different and it says gtr on the wheel, but every pic ive seen it just says nissan.

      Ahh... it's an early RE5R01A box, that means the pinouts I gave are wrong (they were for the RE4R01A 4-speed box)... I'll have to dig around in my docs to see if I've got that schematic (they used the same gearbox plug, with the vacant pin wired to the direct drive clutch solenoid)...prolly hidden away in a supplement somewhere... ...there were 3 variants of the RE5R01A ~ this early schema was what we called the 'dumb' 5 speed ; it's what jatco called a 'medium duty' box, with torque holding up roughly ~200ft/lbs or so, which was good for NA from RB20/25DE and up to around VG30 output spec. With the RB25DET (and VG33/35 mills), the only options they had was the 4-speed 4AX00 box, which had been beefed up to handle the extra torque (primarily for the VG35, but it also suited the RB25DET mill and others)...and the RE4R03 box in large 4WDs a lot of the time... ...the next variant of 5-speed was redesigned, stronger, and 'smart'...first ones had external TCU with internal (on valvebody) Shift Control Unit, pressure switches, and 2 x TSS...and the last ones had internal TCU+SCU setup, with CANbus control etc etc. @DRoc81 On the RHS of the box towards the rear, there should be a stamped silver ID tag -- what's the model number? Oh...and with the early 5-speeds, the torque converter control solenoid assembly should be replaced as well (31940-60X00)...it's a bit Murphy's Law ....if one has failed, bet on the rest not being far behind ...
