This sucks. They're actually starting to cut down in the good areas. The Holy Grounds. Makes me think twice about going for my drive into the hills now.

The most probable reason for using cameras is that I doubt most cops are able to keep up the decent GTR, WRX and bike riders/drivers in the hills. With the cameras there's no escape. And with them randomly hidden, who knows if the road you're speeding on has a camera on it. Hence you're allot less likely to even bother speeding in the first place instead of slowing down for cameras in certain spots where you know where they are.

An analogy of this is; who can say now that none of the other fun hills roads out there don't have speed cameras on them right now? Next week we could read an article in the paper that describes how they've done another blitz on different hills road already, only telling us afterwards everytime. It seems like a system that's based on fear, the fear that no one can be sure whether any of the roads are camera free or not.

I bet the camera operators are doing it just to try and impress the girls-

"Yeah I work in the covert operations branch of SAPOL"

Rather than-

"I'm a monkey that sits in the car with the speed camera"

a group of us burned down Cudlee Creek road where one of the cameras was Saturday after the dyno day .... I hope we didn't get done (we weren't doing silly speeds, but may have approached 100km/h on occassions - which until very recently was the speed limit on that road) .... but we were caught behind minder cars for long periods, so I am hoping we were going slow past the camera!

Hahaha

I'm pretty sure it's actually Police Security Services that handle and manage all the speed cameras. So that dirty lyin' monkey in the car isn't even a real cop :spank:

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
