From page: "Fixed digital speed cameras have the capacity to measure speed in both directions."

yep... they can *measure* speed in both directions.

Doesn't say anything about being able to take your photo from front on.

I'm not trying to be argumentative. There are privacy laws in place, also safety issues with "FLASHING" a driver from front on.

it depends on whether the camara was angled to also accomodate oncoming traffic. Cameras can take photos of oncoming but ive never seen it happen to anyone i know.

I guess the only thing to do now would be to wait an see if you get a nice letter in the mail in the coming days....

If so, then a can of spray paint and a sledgehammer should do the trick to ensure no further repititions...lol jk :P

Hmm.

I think someone on this forum said they are getting front ones now.

Oh well. I think the main thing to remember is if you look closely the majority of cameras (I'm only speaking for the ones I've been past/seen in NSW) don't have the piezo sensors on the opposite side of the road.

Food for thought for new south welshmen (and women).

Although in the end - don't wanna get caught don't speed.

i dont know about NSW but in victoria (i could be wrong) motorbikes dont have front end plates, only on the rear... and all the speed cameras in my area (besides being valdalised) dont seem to take oncoming photos, but i dont think testing to see if im right is a good idea

hey, my sister just got caught speeding in opposite direction to the way camera was facing and in NSW.. also heard of another case where the camera was facing them.. so they must be coming out!! as i always thought it was only from rear.. but im careful with any camera now no point risking your licence!

Very different in WA!!

Ive been flashed 3 times... i think

Everytime the camera was on the left between 10 and 20 meters ahead..hidden behind a tree... a bin.. even in a bus stop OMFG

They make sure they get u in the photo so if you deny the fine they have evidence of who the driver was

and also half blind u at the same time so as ur breaking trying to control ur car, u hit a curb and total it just for fun!

viscount - i know stuff like that pisses you off especially when your car is new. At least that your wheels are just the stockers.HAppened to me with my avs rims. ****ing pissed me off. I got so pissed off that i drove back in there with my falcon, and guess what? it was not possible to drive out without scraping the kerb. I guess unless if you have a mini or something, everyone scrapes it.**** those carpark designers

But sierously dude, i've tried to keep my car in immac condition, but i know that it just cannot and will not happen. ****ing dickheads with shopping trolleys, jealous people with keys etc...

Good to know about the speed cameras though, i've always wondered what happens if someone drives past me fast in the other lane.

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
