An all time low for SAPOL. Why don't they follow the eastern states and use fixed cameras and promote slowing down _at the site_ rather than a fine in the mail a month later.

Makes me hope there was nothing like this on Eagle on the Hill when I went for a spin last weekend.

This is so ridiculous.

Heres some piucs of the cameras and other info

I personally think it's a total joke! If you want people to stop speeding, MAKE SURE THEY KNOW THEY WILL GET CAUGHT IF THEY DO - then they wont speed in the first place. Hell, there is almost NOBODY stupid enough to speed past a camera that they KNOW is there!

Makes me angry. Is there ANY way we can take a stand on this? Get everyone together and stop them doing this? the worst part is:

“Police make no apologies for covert road safety operations involving concealed cameras in black

spot areas, because our aim is to take dangerous riders and drivers off our roads before they kill

or maim someone .”

Bastards.

lads, I *heard* that they have had a camera out in the hills in a wheelie bin for a few years now.

plus the summer helicopter buzzing overhead in the hills

plus the unmarked blue BMW sports bikes

country cops are generally good - been visually no-no'ed a few times after overtaking manouvers & the slight increase in speed involved in such a procedure when riding, but never got fined - luckily.

edit: I should point out I never got pulled over, nor received a fine, when riding thru the Hills. Thats the only type of bike riding I did for 8yrs, stayed out of populated areas.

after every ride I used to stress tho for 4 weeks wondering whether "something" was in the mail.

I wont ride again - I think. :dry: although I maintain the safest place for a sports bike to be put thru its paces is in the Hills and NOT in the metro area.

Petrol + Match is your friend, If you see the flash, its recorded and picked up next day, if its all crispy, no data for po po :dry:

niot that I condone this behavior, nor do I take responsibility for tripod cams thats have spontaniously combusted before :P

This really sucks, if you go past a camera everyday just a few kms over you could loose your licence before you even get a fine.

It aint going to slow anyone down till 4 weeks later when they have to save fuel to pay the fine.

Well I think this bit goes down as the most misinterpreted part:

Police have previously expressed concern at the number of motorcyclists killed on the state's roads - 19 have died so far this year, a 35 per cent increase compared to the same period in 2005.

Now this twit - like several others INCLUDING SAPOL - obviously has completely ignored the fact that there has suddenly been a massive increase in the number of motorcyclists on the roads in the last year due mainly to the whole petrol price issue.

Also most of the accidents that I have heard about have all been in METROPOLITAN areas, NOT hills country. Combine that with the 4 weeks till you know you're done and the fact that you could have been pinged several more times in between the occurrence of the 1st offence & when you get the letter for it, & it becomes BLATANT revenue rasing.

Petrol + Match is your friend, If you see the flash, its recorded and picked up next day, if its all crispy, no data for po po :)

id be surprised if it DOESNT happen.

someones bound to get fed up with it.

i hope not either if they were up that way too it will mean a trip to court for me! i went for a spirited drive up to mount lofty late saturday night.

looks like a device which covers up our number plates that is activated by a switch in the cabin is in order! lol

    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.

    • Ha ha ha, so they stopped the bearings spinning on the one you want, but then decided the crank hub should slip instead 😛   Stick to RB, at least you can work on it yourself. And now it doesn't smell of vapour   Also I still believe there's a chance your new flap doesn't "pop", as even though the engine might breath hard, it has a direct path with no restriction to the inlet, which when on boost should pull a bit of suction for you. If you do get pressure in the catch can id be very intrigued. Time to put a boost gauge on it, and a session at the track, then solid cover your vent and do another session
