So, anyone else get done?

Apparently it was in a 50 zone.

I saw the camera, checked my speed, and thought... "just over 60, no worries!"

64 in a 50 zone, $149 and 1 point.

I did the crime, I'll do the time and pay the fine.

4 roads meet that roundabout, three out of four are 60 km/hr zones.

I knew this for a fact, so I assumed about the 4th... I was wrong.

As they say, assumption is the mother of all F uckups!

Might be my paranoia but it sounds a bit coincidental to put a speed camera on that road on the day of the dyno day.

Lucky for me I rocked up to Jazmac on the Saturday before coz I got my dates completely wrong - busy at work is my excuse! :D I then forgot all about going on the right day!! :Oops:

I remeber a dyno day a while back at Morpowa, there was a speed camera jsut around the corner as everyone was leaving, luckily someone called and everyone took it easy

Nit hard for the cops to read the forums and plan many weeks in advance where to put speed camera's

I am waiting for the day they rock up to a dyno day and start filling out defect notices.......

yeah I hope we weren't doing the same speed and the letters are in the mail :)

Chris32: The cops were informed by JAZMAC that there was going to be a dyno day there, many weeks in advance - so there is NO WAY it could be a coincidence. Yet another we shouldn't ever share details of our activities with the fuzz.

My 2c: 50km/h speed limits are just flat out useless, especially in a semi-industrial area like this one was. Where is the proof that the 50km/h change has had any effect on the road toll? /end rant.

I agree, you try and co-operate with them, and they turn around and screw you over, and the cops wonder why they don't have much respect from modded car owners.

Did anyone see in the latest Autosalon mag, those guys went to a track day and there where cops in the pits taking details of all the road registerd cars - its getting beyond a joke, and one day, mark my words, there will be a undercover cops at a dyno day doing the same thing. Maybe this has already happend - who knows???

Same goes for drift days, I am sure there are more than a few swine at these events, and its only going to get worse

TOTAL :bs!:

surely you guys in SA don't have it as bad as us Victorians??.. we have become ammune to the cops, the State "Labour" Goverment and the EPA screwing import owners. However the results of a community backlash (not just the "Hoons") against mainly the cops and the State Gov, seem to be showing as more and more speak up.

sorry for ya chop

andy, the proofs have been established in the UK; 50kph is a load of crap, caused more accidents and give the police force a pay rise! The 50kph limit has been retracted in the UK or so I've been told by the media :)

There is no common sense when it comes to speed limit these days. It's a joke to see

-50kph on Days Road, Regency

-60kph on Port Road and Anzac Highway

..just to name a few of my daily frustrations.

There were so much BS from the government and media before the 50kph legislation. Do you guys recall the "think about the impact campaign on TV" where it showed the breaking distance and rear end collision speed of 2 old ?Falcons. The one with the first car breaking distance at 60kph and the second car breaking distance at 70kph and the rear end collision. This was a load of crap. What it fails to show media is if the second car was to travelled at 60kph the accident still happen because the second car will take the same distance to stop. Therefore the front of the second car will stop by the time it reaches the front of the 1st car. Now the first car occupy the last bit of the stopping distance of the second car the accident is designed to occurr....bloody politicians!!!

Oh and the other one where 2 cars travelled 50 and 60kph and got to a destination in the same amount of time DURING PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC IN THE CITY :thumbsup:

My motto has always been, reduce braking distance will reduce laccident. Braking distance can be reduced by lowering car tax, brake/tyres taxes and better road condition.

Is there any politician onboard :)

My theory is the oil companies are behind the 50km/h speed limits, as it has seen my fuel consumption go up by almost 10L per week. I now drive in 3rd or 4th at 50km/h, when it was 60 I could cruise in 5th no probs - 50km/h in 5th make the car not happy :)

So in theory I use a extra 520L a year, which can only be good for the government and the oil companies. I am sure the extra strain on the environment will be seen in years to come as well

If I get dragged away into a van by dudes in black suits, you know my theory is correct :cheers:

mesh: The difference between sa and vic.

We can get pulled over for no reason at all and be defected. Everywhere else in AUS, u have to do somethin illegal before u can be pulled over.

You reckon?? That's not the case here in Victoria, all the cops have to say is "This is a routine check", and that's good enough a reason.

    • Hi guys my 94 r33 gtst fuel pump has gone out. I have a walbro 525 ready to go in but am unsure if I need to upgrade the fuel tank bulk heads? Ive heard that others have issues with the stock wiring melting... Ive seen alot of people recommend this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-nissan-skyline-r33-r34-silvia-s14-s15-billet-fuel-tank-bulkhead-hat-top-an6-with-high-current-connector-apex-2-8-delphi-fpg-100?variant=42873255198898 My current pump that stopped working is aftermarket but I had no relay mod or upgraded connectors. Need some advice please. TIA
    • It鈥檚 new. It鈥檚 the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn鈥檛 in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it鈥檚 just not easier and it鈥檚 almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren鈥檛 happy going in
    • I鈥檒l remember that as a last choice. It鈥檚 brand new
    • Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good  
    • It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going.
