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.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Thanks for the reply, So i've continued playing around, and fitted the injector adaptors onto the injector, the fuel rail is not able to be mounted now as the injectors sit a bit further out. I suppose the point of the adaptors is so that the injector nozzle isn't so deep into the intake? I suppose 1mm extra on the o-ring would do it but still can't mount the rail onto the intake haha. Waiting on a reply from Aeroflow I'm sure there's something stupid that I'm missing...

      GReddy Injector Help!

      I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?

      Does anybody use the Firestryker or Element sticks?

      From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys.
