The speed limit advisory group will review the guidelines governing the introduction of 40km/h and 50km/h zones, due to concerns which have been raised over frequent changes in speed zones.

If you've got any input you want to share, go to the Arrive Alive website and leave some feedback.

Do I smell an election? :)

Looking for ways to make us happy/buy some votes!

I was stunned one day to find the main road from my place had the speed changed from 40 to 60!!!! Now its just 40 in school times (fair enough)

It was almost impossible to do 40 along that road, and there were speed cameras there nabbing every second driver a few times a week. Pure revenue raising.

Maybe now they'll listen, now that its in their interest!

I live on an enclosed COURT that's just over 100m long it's a 40 zone because it's bounded by a school. if you did anything more than 40 on my street then you'd be asking for trouble in the first place.

how the hell can they enforce the speed limit on a 100m long court anyway? will a cop sit up the end with a radar gun? :D

The recent speed limit changes are too confusing and it is not always obvious what speed you should be travelling at.

I often find myself guessing some of the time as its 40km/h then 50km/h then 60k/h then 40km/h all in the stretch of a few km's or so.

In Mt Alexander rd (Moonee Ponds, VIC) where it is enforced to a lower speed when the digital signs change to 40km/h (after 7pm Wed-Sun) the majority of motorists ignore it and tailgate very closely. Some make dangerous manoeuvres around your vehicle travelling at the imposed 40km/h limit possibly making it even more dangerous for pedestrians and/or parked cars.

So you either speed up to avoid them rear-ending you (in the event of emergency stop) or stay just below 40km/h and accept road rage from motorists who

a) Don't notice the speed change

B) Don't care about the speed change and travel at 60km/h anyway

I guess they feel their speed is safe and disregard the "digital speed system".

I cant see how anyone can complain about having to go 40 outside of a primary school. I think its a great idea.

But then again I dont live near any zones that change to 40 that arent around a school.

      AC Compressor

      You don't need an AC mechanic to fit it. You do need one to vac the system down and fill it. That's how you get refrigerant.

      Anti Squat Kit

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, it's actually probably worse than you think. I think you have to (minimally) install GKTech's spherical bush replacements to the lower arm's inner ends, because you absolutely cannot subject the original (or poly) bushes to that much misalignment. The better option being to replace the whole lower arm with GKTech's unit. This brings sphericals to the lower inners either way you do it. And are you aware that the kit is weld in and you have to take the subframe out of the car to get it fitted? It's a fair bit of work. These issues both drive my ongoing dithering about doing this to my car, for the last couple of years.

      AC Compressor

      The website said you need a AC technican to swap it in. Is that true? How did you fill the refridgerant? Was it easy to install?  If i just got the bracket and the new smaller AC compressor, would the other components be compatible with R134?

      Anti Squat Kit

      By ianp · Posted

      Hi All Finally getting back to work on the R32 this weekend and had a quick question about the GKTech anti squat kit (https://au.gktech.com/products/s13-180sx-r32-subframe-anti-squat-reduction-weld-in-kit?_pos=39&_fid=eb6b5077e&_ss=c) So, this straightens out the rear LCA and increases the roll centre by 20MM which is great BUT I also have MFR roll centre adjusters (https://www.rhdjapan.com/moonface-super-lap-rc-joint-roll-center-adjuster-bnr32-ps13-rps13.html) which gives a +15MM lift. My question is whether they can/should be used together or if its going to massively effect the geometry? In my mind, I can't see that they work together but was hoping for some feedback on someone who has done this before deciding which to use or if both?   Thanks

      Rb25 into r31/wont idle

      Agreed. Thing has to be running absolutely pig rich as well. I would worry a lot less about your idle and start going through all your electrical before the car burns down.
