Hah... why am I not surprised? It was the camera which points into the inner (from what I gathered) lane of St Kilda Rd. This is very close to the entrance into Fitzroy St so yeah right towards the end of St Kilda rd. Seriously I never ran a red light arghh! I dont do stupid shit like that. I didnt even plant my foot as I saw I was entering the amber light and had enough pace to get out while the traffic lights were amber. I am fighting this thing as soon as it comes in. If I did run a red light Id own up. Cheers mate!

Heres some proof from my experience: They radial rod bushes I think they were, cost around 60 bucks I think from Burson.

Ill appeal as I did not enter the intersaction when the lights were red. Cheers for the tips.

I was already passing through the traffic light as it was turning amber! Even if I slammed the brakes I would of ended up in the middle of the interscation! ive heard of people beating red traffic light fines, most dont do anything about it and just pay the fine. 250 bucks? whatta jib!

I think I got flashed last night in St Kilda rd by a fixed red light camera... really sucks as I am SURE I was running the light as it was amber!! Ive never had a fine for running a traffic light in all of my 8 year driving history and this thing was sus! Heck the last time I got done for speeding was back on my P plates over 6 years ago!! ANyway do you lose 3 demerit points for running the red light? Also how much is the fine? Im gonna appeal/fight this fine no matter what!

If you have a pod attached to your AFM, be sure to secure it if it aint secure you may need to open the AFM up and resolder the electrics. WazR32GTSt also gave awesome info.

Do you guys buy any of these to put in your car every now and then? I think im having a "buy as much shit as you can on your car" fever... i cant stop loooking for new things to buy... i just put some injector cleaner into my petrol tank. Might buy some octane booster later on for a dirty weekend drive!

This thing sounds like a Star Wars x-wing fighter! love it! haha

Yup the fuel pump sure. Just fill up when i starts approaching empty.

Ok go sick dude, run empty for the next few months and tell us how you go.

Ive got up to 450 Kms and the light hasnt come on yet. I presume I can easily get around 520-550 out of my tank If I run it dry. Dont try and run your car dry too often as the shit in your petrol tank gets sucked into the engine and will ruin it over time. It even says so in the manual.

I got a small scratch on my car few weeks ago and the actual job is like 600 bucks at panel beaters (too much bs involved). Anyway they agreed to pay me 400 bucks to settle it cos it was not my fault. I went to Nissan dealer today, they got my car's (silver R33 S2) paint code and said (surprise surprise) its no longer available. At the same time in their workshop I saw silver 350 Z... the paint looked identical to my car's. Its called "platinum." I got a tube of it for 16 bucks from Nissan. Does anyone know how close is silver R33 S2 to 350 Z paltinum paint? Im gonna pocket the 400 bucks...

lol

No a family friend who is a long time mechanic did it for me. He specialises in BMWs. He did it at a workshop... Its not an easy job because you need to get around 4 litres of the old oil out of the torque converter. I would leave this job for a mechanic or auto transmission service specialists as it can get pretty messy, literraly and a number of things need to be done (drain oil in the pan and torque converter, change or clean the oil filter etc). BTW I got my odl oil filter cleaned as I was told on here no need to buy a new one (saves 70 bucks).

Got the auto tranny serviced yesterday with Transmax Z... I was told only 8 litres could be put in, even though the old one was drained. The car feels great, havent really had much of a chance to drive cos got it late last night.

Whats the traction like? I got a Motor article on it, saying it pumps out like just under 300 KW and weighs shit all (1200 KG) but 0-100 is like 5 seconds which is too slow for that type of power.

Ive got this stolen car in my street, been there for around 2 weeks now, rang cops last week and told em the details, its still here... ffs. My street aint a dumping ground! lol BTW the car is a Toyota Paseo.

0-100 km/h in 3 seconds? ive seen an R34 GTR with Rb26DETT do 3.4 sec too a 100... surely thats saving shitloads of money.

Why dont you go test an M3 from the 80s with 500000 Kms on the clock and cry a river cos its slow?

They started making S2 in 96...SI from what I know didnt have ABS stock...

Ok for the front Ive got Bendix Advance and for the back I got Bendix GCT. Should be cool?

I took the train to SSV dealer... Mark picked me up in MY "to be" car... as soon as I spotted him in traffic I had this big grin on my face... kinda like looking at your family member competing in some sports activity... The car was sparkling silver! He took me down to the dealership to finalise the papers and payment. It was after 5 pm so Mark and his crew went home and I was stuck there sitting in my car... observing the interior... I wanted to drive it but I just sat there admiring the car from the inside... got some awesome tunes I brought with me lol then I took off... I went to my girlfriend's at the time place... and she actually caught up to me in traffic... saying I was driving like a grandma haha... And yes my car still smells brand new inside...

Im sorry but an F430 Ferrari does 400 m in much less than 13.4 seconds... its actually around 12 seconds flat. Was the driver copping a BJ at the the time of the drag?

But wouldnt Joe Blow who "specialises" in Skylines and other imports would wonna rip you just as much as Pedders in this case? At the end of the day, everyone wants to make money. If you really want to save a buck, become friends with a mechanic and get him to check your car over, this is the only way. My family friend mechanic told me today that you dont need to machine all disk rotors when changing brake pads... often its not needed at all but 9/10 places will tell you to do it, why? more money for them. I cant imagine how much chicks get ripped everytime they service their cars...

So you cant drive it on the road?
