Im not sure if anyone has posted this here before.

Quite a good read. Tells you all the restrictions as far as cameras after limit changes, at the bottom of hills, how the radar has to be alligned, etc.

I especially like the theory of going to view your photograph and if there is any other car in the pic (as would be the case on the freeway, etc) then they cannot fine you!

Also I have heard that if you get booked by an actual human police officer they have to be wearing their hat when they walk up to the car (otherwise you cannot be booked).

Another one I heard was if you are speed checked (cop travels behind you and uses his speedometer to determine your speed) then they have to produce a tyre guage and all their tyres must measure exaclty 37psi otherwise they cannot book you.

And last one is that if the have a hand held unit they must take two read outs, 3 seconds apart. They have to show you both readouts if you request this. And you can only be booked for the lesser speed. My Father has used this in Sydney and it downgraded him from a 15-30km to a 0-15km fine.

You know how they could save money and save lives.....scare tactics.

Who would continue at a speed (subconsciously) above the speed limit (speed limit = what that sign said) after they see a sign saying "Speed cameras are used in this area"? or something to that affect.

Hey I saw that 'hoons' sign on the way through Mandurah too, and I think I've seen it in Bunbury as well! I wonder what they'll target next: 'loud doof-doof music'! Or 'overly done up Hyundai Excels'? Ha ha!

"But my mom says I'm cool."

I like in the Pizza movie, cops are now targeting "Lebanese". Won't go too well in Cronulla at the moment :)

At Sir Charles Gaidner Hospital the speed limit is 30km but heading north towards the tee junction the last 50 meters there is a state limit speed sign. Which means your are leagally allowed to do 110km per hr for the last 50 meters

Start rant...

Well RADAR detectors are about to be banned. Funny no one seems to be complaining about it? <_<

Or, stranger, not after the lowest road toll for decades, thanks mainly to the new driving test rules, it seems that the real reason that people are dying is RADAR detetcors. Must ban them.

:D

Then of course there's the gymbyments commets last year that budgeted speed camera revenue will be/was down 10%. Must do something about that.....

End rant.

      Powder coating wheels

      By dyl33 · Posted

      Yeah. I believe the fear of annealing the alloy and weakening it, Every online discussion has someone saying it's bad and potentially a risk when powder coating forged wheels.

      Powder coating wheels

      I'm interested if anyone agrees with what you've said, and can give a good reason. Temperature of powder coating should be below any temperature you'd use to alter the wheel structure.  Powder coat typically 200 to 250. Annealing if that's what people are claiming would be occuring, starts at 300, and depending on the alloy, can need even up at 400+.   That's the only part I can think of that could cause an issue that people are believing it's from the rim losing hardness and becoming too soft.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.   Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches. Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch. If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.   Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.

      Anyone know if it's a problem to powder coat forged alloy wheel centers (Rays/Volk GT-C). some say it's bad and can damage the alloy, some say it's not a problem.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      Hey guys, I'm reviving an old post but I'm finally getting around to working on this now. I removed the battery to get a better look at the wires and i traced the wires from the headlight to the fuse box in the engine bay, but the wiring looks fine? The wiring for the R/H headlight is 3 wires and then is bundled up with the large diameter wire that goes underneath the fuse box. I didn't take it apart yet. I know you said that its a short circuit somewhere between the fuse box and the headlight. But could it be the headlight switch on the dash? Also, i pulled out my multi-meter and set it on the Ohms, but i'm not sure where to put the negative probe and the positive probe.
