stick to the old 60 80 and 100, nice and simple

I agree 100% with going back to the old speed limits. Near me there are parallel roads that alternate between 50 & 60 zones. Same as going into the city through the parklands. I never remember which road is 50 and which is 60. But it's cheaper to fit a new sign than actually repair the roads.

comparing us to germany which is a small rich country isn't really fair. I'm sure our roads have to cover a hell of a lot more distance than theirs do.

Yeah but they have millions of more cars on the road.

Also their drivers are much better taught. I takes much longer get your license and costs a fair bit too!! but at least they drive much better and sensibly then us.

Actually I remember reading that Germany has more kilometres of actual roadways than Australia and most other contries. Enough to go around the equator 5 times IIRC. Although Germany itself is smaller than Australia it's still pretty bloody big.

Speed Camera revenue has hit an all time low. It wont take long before some guy chains the bin to his towbar and goes for a drive.

I can't see how it promotes slowing down. Go to the eastern states and there are warnings everywhere that raise the awareness of speeding. In SA? Ah just fine em later... bastards.

I say if you see one of these you should pull over up the road walk back and dispose of your half full cup of coke into it.

^^^^^

That's a great idea

How about a peaceful protest. We can all sit of 40km/h and watch the traffic back up. If traffic is reduced to 40 across Adelaide, they wont be raising much revenue.

But then again, they'll probably just reduce the speed limit to 30 and give us the "Speed Kills" crap again.

they once clocked a bog standard 70's Toyota Corolla doing 200km/h driven by a 30 something year old chick - the car has a top speed of about 160km/h and considering it's age it's highly unlikely it could do even that.

I remember that one. :)

But yes... those middle aged women, they do fly around, especially in car parks! I was almost cleaned up by one a day ago. :S

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
