Yeah, I was going down the Kwinana Fwy this morning at my usual brisk pace and noticed a couple of police bikes had pulled a REX over. I must admit I will be slowing down during the holiday season, only have 3pts left.

I think that on cruises during this time of year a strict no speeding policy should be adhered to, cause if one person starts then the rest of us will want to go the little bit faster etc.

Safe driving everyone.

See'ya:burnout: (yeah and no burnout's)

hmmm, tis why i never go up the freeway.

I head up rockingham road then across Gibbs/Russell to the freeway. Except this morning a commodore had lost it somehow before Russell Road on Rockingham Road and mashed a poll.. Caused quite a little backup of traffic, we had to Detour through an industrial complex.

Came across all the cops on the Freeway though after that, lucky for people whom flash their headlights. I thank thee.

Also saw a R33 this morning with a kit and crap, thought nothing of it, afterall.. it is just a 33 :P.. then to find later on a chick was driving it.. sweet :D nice clean car too. [** 25 WA] were the plates.

to catch the brainless ones who go kewl just went through a speed trap i can speed now.

Yeah, but that's not fair to people like Hicks who weren't born with a brain.:bahaha:

It does seem that it is a knee jerk reaction to the ban on speed camera's along the freeway, and I don't think we should blame the cops, there just doing as there told, its the politician :whackit: that end up with the money. So they can spend it on chauffer driven cars.

See'ya

hahahaha

I heard once when a mate was going down south, they had a camera set up, and then a couple of k's on, they had a policeman waiting, and then a few more k's from there another camera haha, lots of people I think would've been caught that day, and personally I think it's a brilliant idea, and like skyzerr said, peopel think they've gone past the heat, and now they're free to boot it

whats this about speed cameras on the freeway?? are they banned???

and i saw a speed camera setup on a main road, where they had one camera, then another one down a bit further and also another one on the other side of the road, that was pretty good idea, i wonder how many ppl they would have got with that???

Cam.

but it also works for the type of people who when they get caught speed up cause there pissed off.

i know one guy who got done 3 times in 5km with the same setup as the described psiko

for a lovely 10 points and many $$$

or the guy on the last double demerits weekend who did 20 points in one day

Apparently the cops/government brought in some new by-law to allow them to start using the cameras on the freeways again. Nothing good lasts forever.

Saw cops on bikes with hand-held radar guns on Alabny Hwy just then, looks like nowhere is safe to speed.

See'ya:burnout:

Yep, i just invested in a new bel, saved my ass once already.

I dont think anyone here can say they *never* speed, and anyone who does is obviously lying, there are always situations where a bit of speeding is acceptable, and that is always where the police are. They should concentrate only on problem areas, rather than places they can hide good.

Speed cameras arent made to increase road safety, they increase government revenue, no matter how the politicians like to spin it, thats why they wont stop using them, and they wont ban them from roads like the freeway.

Don't know how much difference all the speed cameras make - except to the pockets of the pollies. Speed isn't the problem on the roads, its drivers who seem to think that they are bulletproof and have a god given right to drive in any manner they wish, regardless of where its done.

Bloody Pollies chasing revenue is all -

Feel better after that vent:)

    • Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action
    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
