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

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
