NT's speed derestriction is no more.

NT's NEW maximum rural default speed limit is 110km/h.

Some key NT highways are to have signposted 130km/h speed limits.

Other changes are a demerit points system based on the national model, and increased fine levels for speed and other offences.

So... what's the use of the NT now? What's it for? ;)

Feeding crocodiles tourists?

Ah dont worry about it not being policed, if they can drag enough money out of the population they'll have extra highway patrols up there in no time.

im a darwin boy, and ima haf to say that shiet is teh ghey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..

nah. death tolls for road accidents always been low in the NT. only reason they have done this is obviously for Revenue raising. because most people dont speed excessively.. 120 is average.

similar thing in amsterdam, alot less people there actually smoke pot!..

I was watching this on the 7:30 report last night, NT's drink driving numbers are EIGHT times the national average.

Then they started talking about single passenger vehicle roll overs and talked about people not wearing seat belts and being drunk.

BUT, to combat that.............................................they've reduced the speed limits.

No seat belt + rollover at ANY speed = death

Drunk + ANY speed can = death...

FFS. Speed limits wont stop drunk people speeding!

im not going to say anything racist here, but i wonder whose been doin all this....

a few of my dads mates were all up there for a riding tour, cruisin down whatever strip it was at about 160... when a ute comes flyin past em, with like 5-6 people in the back, then a trailor with about 10 more people in there. lol when they got to the other end, there were supposedly less people than when they started but luckily i dont think any of em could count to 16 :D

Please excuse the rant

Id be a little careful with even suggesting racism. Aboriginal people own skylines as well, and implied racism is just as bad as overt. Im not saying that there werent that many people in a ute and trailer, but suggesting people cant count becuase they are aboriginal is a cr@p.

Why do people with closed minds always open their mouth.

I know. Its brilliant.

If I ever become a surgeon and have to treat a politician for gunshot wounds, I'm going to prescribe him some Panadol and send him on his way.....since that's the same philosophy as their attempts to curb the road toll.

The NT Government are trying to fix what isn't broken.

Deaths are from not wearing seat belts, running red lights and drink driving. How many RBT's have I seen from Jan until now? Two. We have red light cameras that don't work, literally, and the seat belts are a huge issue out in the communities or on rural roads. Single vehicle accidents, usually a roll over on a dirt road from over correcting will take care of those who want to pile 10 people into a landrover.

The majority of our speed related deaths, have been in suburban areas on speed limited roads.

Go figure...

IMO I think the Government are trying to get rid of the Cannonball run or any posibility that it will return. Sure, there are deaths on our open roads, but there are deaths on your 100kph roads too. I agree in saying our road toll is high, but it has nothing to do with the highway.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
