A friend told me about his mates dad, he got pulled over and booked for doing 1kph over the speed limit 67kph by this traffic copper here in adelaide, mind you the guy booked is about50 yrs old, he pleaded to the cop to have a little compassion and give him a warning, but the copper said too late mate i've written the fine out, he took the fine and proceeded to go to his car and get his fine pad out..... btw he is an occupational health and safety officer, he wrote a fine out for $825 and gave it to the police officer and said, it is 8pm and you failed to wear reflective clothing so here is your fine mate, enjoy...........

Good story but... LMAO.

Yes here in SA a nice mr. moto bike police man said >=9km/h you will be fined, this was quite a few years ago now.

Really? That's better than the 10% i heard about. So 66 in 60, 88 in 80 or 110 in 100. Then again looking at that they all fall almost within the 9km/h :D

Yer not sure about the 10% this was quite a few years ago, I think over 5yrs as that was my last speeding ticket. :D Never received one in the skyline. :D

The moto cop said 9km/h over in a 60. I actually did 78 but he marked it down to 69 just to be a nice bloke. lol. :P

Busky in Vic, I think it's anything over 3km with the radar camera. I got my first speeding fine ever in Melb 2 months ago doing 106 on their 100kph highway. Damn Victorian system tainted my clean driving record :D

For him to write such a fine he need to be an Workplace Services inspector and yes I think he can legally do this but not sure about the 800+ fine. I know a couple of them in SA. They are quite powerful in the work force. They can do a lot more damage than just a simple fine. The story is quite inspirational and it's a great method to pay back dodgy workshop that rip you off guys. Just call the inspector or Workplace SA and make report on unsafe activities/tools that you see in the workshop. If there are enough reliable reports they will come down to investigate/issue improvement or prohibition notices :D

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
