Guys,

Is this camera kind of faulty?, was going up Stud towards knox and passed the intersection (FerntreeG rd) I knew there was a camera there so I went passed roughly 73~ on my speedo and the camera snapped me, im pretty sure its a 80km/h zone because all the signs say 80, so I was like wtf!

Anybody else have had any issues with this before.

I would sugest that you sit tight and wait for the speeding fine to arrive. Was any one else near you when you went past? Maybe while waiting for the fine to arrive get your speedo checked to be sure, and then don't pay and contest it. Thats what I would do. Best of luck.

I thought it was just a redlight camera?

Was doing right turn off stud onto ftg next to a truck which triggered the camera with his back tyres as light turned yellow.

Didnt know it was a speed camera? Maybe red arrow light turned on as you kept on driving straight and someone turning set it off?

if ur right on verification it will be thrown out. happens a fair bit. Also might not have been u.

might have been testing also, when I used ot test i would do it under the speed limit to get lots of images...lol pissed every1 off.

the cameras that got shot a couple of weeks ago on middleborough rd and the freeway - they are or were faulty. It flashed one of these guys car and he was doing around 50 apparently (most people slow down when they come to that camera)

that camera plays up all the time, ive been flashed twice and never got a ticket cause i wasnt doing anything wrong, and i've seen heaps of people get flashed when they arn't speeding or didnt run red light, it only gets you for speeding if the light is amber or red, but the camera even goes off when there is no-one going threw the intersection, i go past it like twice a day thats my experience, theres also a falty one on the corner of wantirna rd and maroondah hwy that goes off randomly too

its not uncommon cant say why...signed some stuff ages ago which still holds and this is a public forum.

I did a check, these are know problem sites. I doubt u will find any1 getting a ticket from these cameras...I couldn't actually see if these have gone live yet, dont have the access i used to :wacko:. never know...might not have.

Just becuase its installed doesn't mean its working and online.

Yeah I will wait, shouldnt be an issue due to the replies,

It was all green light all the way and it just flashed, I was on the most right lane going forward, and there was a van 2 car lengths behind on my left. But I do remember one car looking going pretty quick on the opposite direct crossingt the intersection as I was. Perhaps it triggered the camera?

pretty sure they have been doing maintenance on those cameras for a while now. i remember a few months ago i was turning right onto ftg rd from stud rd, and i got snapped going thru a green light doing like 25kms. so did every other driver.

ive seen them working on the cameras during the day, that was a few weeks ago tho. so maybe they arent right still...

I wouldn't worry about it, I drive through those lights every day and I see them flash all the time, mind you I haven't been flashed though. As said they are speed and red light, perhaps they were flashing someone else? Has happened to me before in other intersections and I never got any fines. They JUST did some work on them about a month or so ago so I'd say they are pretty on the ball.

I had a similiar experience with the speed camera infront of underworld gym on finders st. i was doing around 58(its 60 there), the light was amber and i got flashed. this was nearly two months ago so i am assuming that i didn't get the fine(i didn't bloody well deserve it anyway! i wasn't doing anything wrong!).

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
