One more thing arose out of my trip north of the border - WHO'S BRILLIANT IDEA WAS IT TO MAKE THE SECTION OF FREEWAY BETWEEN BROOKLYN AND MT WHITE A 90 ZONE? and WHY? You can scream down the other side (from Syd to Brooklyn) at 110, but you can't do it from Mt White? What kind of twits do you guys have setting speed limits up there? (probably related to the twits in Vic who put double white lines on a straight piece of road, and then switch to a single broken line as you approach, and drive around, a blind curve)

there is no camera there. the only camera on the freeway is @ Ourimbah as you come down the hill. It is very well marked and you can see it any time of day on ur left. I believe it also gets traffic coming up the hill on the other side as it's infrared.

Just remember if u speed through @ night and there is no flash, you will still get done

You reckon that's FUBAR? I'll tell you what's FUBAR! The old set of traffic lights on the M5 at Moorbank! 110 to 80 then to a red light. There were so many accidents cause traffic would build up to the 110km/h section and people flying would have to jam on the brakes from 110 to 0 when they realise there is a traffic jam.

Finally someone grew a brain and removed them.

it 90 cause of the speed different between truck and cars there

and alot of up the bum no babies crashes

also why does everyone sit in the middle lane there? (left lane is always the quickest up the hill)

dont the rules say keep left unless overtaking

"not in the ***n middle"

pete

im going up tomorrow so ill check the shiet out...

but as far as i have seen tosh is right.... only the one at ourimbah which is clearly marked and easily seen... (on left if going towards newy)

other than that the other cams are just traffic cams...

though soetimes in that 90 zone they have coppers hidden in the twisty bits with big stone faces.... me and franks almost got caught but thankgod the car in front was doing the limit or KABOOOOOOm boost would have gotten us in trouble...

I've travel the F3 from the Coast to Sydney every day and the only camera is heading North Bound near Ourimbah.

There is no camera in the 90K zone from Mt White to Hawkesbury only the RTA Monitoring cameras.

The reason it's a 90 Zone, is that of the entire freeway, that particular section goes from 2 lanes to 3 lanes so many times that there was always cars trying to outrun trucks before they merged and there was always accidents. While there are no FIXED cameras in the 90 Zone, there is pretty much always a mobile unit.

Oh, and the sign that says, "Keep Left unless overtaking", that IS law, you can get booked for not keeping left, as I found out on the M4 on Boxing day 2 years ago heading up to the Blue Mountains. on the fine under the offence it said "Disobeying the Keep left unless overtaking sign" $180 and 2 points later.

  • 4 weeks later...

The length 90km/h zone on the F3 is classed as a "Black Spot". I know its hard to believe that that section is a black spot but having attened some of the prangs there its justified.

The speed camera at Ourimbah can only get nth bound traffic, same as all speed cameras due to privacy laws they cant take a pic of the front of the vehicle, but, they are trying to change it!

privacy laws???, i thought it was cause the flash can blind ya for a few seconds if photos r taken from the front.....anyway as soon as technology is there they'll be doin it, oh and i still say theres a camera in the 90 zone, going to auto salon this w/e and will check it out.

out dudes

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
