Coming home yesterday afternoon in peak hour traffic down heatherton road... one of the mobile speed camera f*kwits decided he would be best to park himself in the left lane, not on a median strip out of the way, in the left lane.

WTF is the point of that? Your only going to trap people in the left lane so traffic comes to a standstill. While we were trying to get past the tool there were almost 4 accidents! 1 of them was us almost getting side swiped. People trying to pull out from behind him because traffic was backed up for at least a KM.

Ive never wanted to drag someone out of their car more and punch them in the face then right then...

its always been my life long ambition to get a hire car and the $28 insurance and come barrelling around the corner whilst trying to retreive my ciggys off the floor and ram into one and wreck the camera....."can you explain to me what happened sir?" "yes i came around the corner whilst trying to get my PJ's off the floor and as i looked up and it was all happening" :bunny:

i was seeing red... and it wasnt just his station wagon... fuming too much to get a rego, but surely they all have designated areas and operators etc at certain times so it cant be that hard for them to find who it was... i might ring the springvale police station as its there zone, they should be able to point me in the right direction.

i wanted josie to pull over so i could take photos of the spastic and all the trouble he was causing but josie wouldnt cause she said "no... u need anger management counciling and now we have a baby im not having you get arrested for assault"

i feel for you dude, i got told i have an anger problem too today! long story but i caught up with the bitch who yesterday scraped my gtst rear bar down to the plastic in her pos at the car park near where i work. She couldn't deny it though cause my paint was still on her rear quarter panel/guard but wasn't keen on paying up.... :(

should have just called the cops saying theres some tool sitting in his car blocking up the left lane. dont mention its a radar guy just someone suspicious taking photos..looks like a terrorist activity. sit back and wait for SAS to woop some ass.

its fine - you cant complain about someone parking there

unless its a clearway zone you have no leg to stand on - well that i can see

its like yelling at people who stop to park - they are allowed to but everyone abuses them

its usually the people who arent watching or tailgate too closely who get stuck

I liked the story of the guy who snuck up on a speed camera car, stole the number-plate and fitted it to his car.

Then proceeded to get booked speeding a large number of times.

Hilarity ensued

That said, Troy's idea is better.

yeah but its not just someone parking on the side of the road because they have to go somewhere... surely there are rules and regulations these dipshits have to follow... the worse thing was he was only about 50m from a major intersection so people coming around the corner are all getting trapped there.

As far as I know every mobile camera location has to be 'approved' as the setup needs to be right for the fines to be legal. You could probably take it up with someone but I couldn't imagine it would get too far so I would go with troy or james idea :banana:

Its kinda like that time in the streets I used to park for work....I got done by a parking inspector a couple of times for being over the time by like 5 mins...naturally I had a bit of resentment towards them and one day I had to leave early....what do I find on the walk to my car but the parking inspectors car parked HALFWAY over someones driveway. I thought this couldn't be legal so I called the council to complain pretending to be the home owner :) I chuckle everytime I think about it but the chances are that the bloke never got repremanded let alone a ticket :ninja:

I prefer what the brits do, burn them, we have the added complication of the operator but I'm sure they burn just fine too.

should have just called the cops saying theres some tool sitting in his car blocking up the left lane. dont mention its a radar guy just someone suspicious taking photos..looks like a terrorist activity. sit back and wait for SAS to woop some ass.

It's 4RAR on the East Coast, TAG-E

Just sayin.

Something similar happened in the city a few months ago. A 4X4 went past the speed camera, and flash, he was speeding. He then turns around aims, and drives full pelt at the operator in the car. Smashed in the front of the car and and wedged it up against a tree. Police were there in about 2 min with about 4 or 5 cars, as the car and operator are alarmed.

Call Vic Police, as they have overall responsibility.

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

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
