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 25zenki · Posted

      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.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
