On Sunday night I was heading back home on Bourke Rd and there was a mobile speed camera located on a reasonably steep hill. I was doing around 63 and the speed limit was 60, I was not even on the gas simply just rolling down and I got done. Anyway I got out of the car and took photos of the whole scene and even got the video camera out (heading back from autosalon :) ) the guy got out and was pretty irritated by this and began to call his superior. Anyway I was told that they can not book you for speeding when you are coming down on a hill. Is this true? If so I will be contesting.

If the camera was positioned at the bottom of the hill then I dont think they are supposed to set up there... not sure if they're allowed to or not. but they could always argue that's what the brake pedal is for :) bit harsh... getting done for doing 63 in a 60 zone though..

Yeah I was lead to believe that they can't do it on a hill either - but as per usual they put them there because they know 99.99% of people wont bother arguing the case and there is a better chance of getting more people.

I understand that the code of practice for speed camera and radar units states they should not be used in certain locations such as hills. Getting the actual document will be the issue but fight it anyway. A good lawyer will make your case and hopefully obtain costs.

The website is www.roadsense.com.au and I understand they can park on the nature strip under the road traffic act. Another corrupt double standarrd and hopefully you bloody vics will vote the prick out at the next state election. Labor ALWAYS overspend the rape the electorate. Just bloody dumb

Take it to court mate as that is ***ing bullshit!!

Hope you got video of the operator driving off coz that will look quite funny when shown in court.

A simple letter back if you get sent a speeding fine stating all the facts and that you have video and pictures will usually see them drop the fine.

They rely on 99% of people not bothering to dispute it and just paying the fine even tho they could get out of it easily, so dispute it and be the other 1% :D

What you do, see a camera on the side of the road. Park in front of it, lock the car and walk off. He cant tell you to move. If he wants to he can move...

Hate those wanks. Everytime i drive past one i give the operator a 1 finger salute.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
