I just thought i'd remind everyone again about Double Demerits this holiday season.

Cause we've got 12 days of double demerits over Xmas New Year

Double demerits apply for speeding and seatbelt offences from Friday 21 December to Tuesday 1 January inclusive.

Read all about it at http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/rulesregulations/penalties/demeritpoints/index.html?hfid=ddemerits

Heaps more police around. Saw a silver R33 being pulled over on the F3 between Mt White n Mooney Mooney. looked like a p-plater but not sure. Saw them around 4pm on Friday

Have a merry christmas n take it easy on the roads...

got the crap scared out of me coming back from dubbo by a highway patrol car, i was only doing 105ish in a 100 zone and it came flying up behind me with lights flashing, i started slowing down and moved over and he went past and pulled an L plater over.

they don't seem to be advertising the fact it's double demerits much any more. personally i'm trying to avoid driving until the dd's are over cause they'll be more cops on the road

a client at my work got done doing 15k's over, her first offence a 6 points lost

yup, definitely a load more cops on the road these days...

i've been lucky and haven't been pulled over yet, but I've had a few close calls..

you always need to have cop-bait around you... stick your neck out too far and it'll get snapped.

ouch. altho doing 15k over during DD is a little silly, i have seen cops hiding in dodgy spots (bottom of steep hills etc) just waiting for you to drift over the limit. that's pretty slack, IMO. they should only catch you on the flats.

yep I escaped DD's alive thank goodness, I'm less than a month away from getting off my dreaded P's finally (shoulda been off the bastards 2yrs ago, damn laziness) so last thing I want is to lose my license now. Not that I speed intentionally but its easy enough to creep over the limit once in a while when youre too busy paying attention to stuff that matters rather than staring down your speedo

i clocked around 800kms during DD in a turbo import.

Stay under the speed limit and u're safe.

i saw heaps of people get pulled over around. Even this habib in an old statesman who was next to me at a set of traffic lights. I was telling him he had a possum under his car and he took off slowly and got pulled over for some reason. lol

I reckon cops don't care much about supras. They only go after skylines.

afraid to say.. not a good year for me :D

Just curious to know, do policemen have a Flash on their Radars?? or any other speed recording device (Laser)? etc

I was doing abt 111kmh in a 100 zone :D:) silly me,

I think i saw a flash from behind some trees and an un marked commodore parked some 2km down on the M4

can't be sure if it was me, as there were a few other cars around me doing the same speed...

but then again, i can't even be sure if it was a police flash or some blue light i saw through the trees in a factory or sumthing else :) ..........

dam , sooooo anxious. hope i dont get anything in the mail.

Most radar's do not have a flash, if the radar operator sees someone doing high speeds they would radio the chasing car (in this case I assume it would be the unmarked commonwh0re parked 2km down the road) telling them that x person is speeding and to chase em down.

However there are new radar setups where the radar is on the ground and the camera is behind it. They need to have a good lock on ~3secs then takes a photo immediately. Quite easy to notice this.

I think all police officers are being currently trained to operate radars, all HWP's know how to use radar's already.

As for your case, ADR's specifies 10% tolerence for speeds, so maybe you are being paranoid.

from

http://rvcs-prodweb.dot.gov.au/files/ADR%201803.pdf

5.3. The speed indicated shall not be less than the true speed of the vehicle. At the test

speeds specified in paragraph 5.2.5. above, there shall be the following relationship

between the speed displayed (V1 ) and the true speed (V2).

0 ≤ (V1 - V2) ≤ 0.1 V2 + 4 km/h

The equation means as follows:

95 Being Indicated speed 90 being true speed.

0 <= 95 -90 <= 90*0.1 +4

0 <= 5 <= 13

So there for Indicating 95 but going 90 is in the acceptable range. Were are as

110 Being Indicated speed 90 being true speed.

0 <= 110-90 <=90*0.1+4

0 <= 20 <= 13 Which means its not acceptable.

So the allowable difference depends on the speed the car is actually traveling.

Put easier, your indicator must NOT be showing a slower speed then the car is travelling, and it must not indicate more the 10%+4km of the true speed

So In a 60 zone, your indicated speed must be between 60-70 to be ADR approved.

In a 80 zone, 80-92

In a 100 zone, 100-114

In a 110 zone, 110-125

Sydney's roads have become WAYYY too restrained. I am constantly paranoid, even in the work Hiace.

Coppahs jumping out of bushes, arresting ppl, pulling over grannies. And that's when they're being nice. When they're p!ssed off anyone under 25 years of age seems to be flashed over and issues a book of fines.

I'm moving to the country. :P

Yep, i think it might just be that i'm paranoid. But it's still annoying, They should inform you quicker then 1 month. Supposedly you have to wait 2 weeks, but a freind of mine didnt recieve a speeding fine for atleast 1 month, and was shocked as he can't remember driving down the road at the time.

Wish it could get over and done with :) ... lol

      R33 general questions

      By Kaptain · Posted

      Im not entirely sure exactly what or where its leaking from, he started to pull the boots to swap to my new tie rods + ends and it just vomited fluid, so he closed em up up, swapped the rod ends to the old rods and let me know so I can figure a solution out, im guessing its all origional as as I passed 103k miles earlier this year im sure its just in need of a full overhual/rebuild anyways.    If i could just yank it off and be good it wouldn't be an issue to ship it out and wait for the turnaround but the guy I work with doesnt really have space to keep my car for a week or two at a time, would rather drop it off and have a replacement ready to drop in

      R33 general questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      What do you mean by "seals"? Internal hydraulic seals (ie, is it leaking PS fluid?) or the rack boots that close the rack onto the tie-rods? Because the former is a rebuild, and the latter is trivial that you or any nearby mechanic could do. Dunno about the cowl. Just buy what you think is required and get anything else you find/break afterwards. Wing? Dunno. Don't like R33s enough to pay attention to them. Mirror glass is just glass (on the surface that you want to polish). Go for it.

      R33 general questions

      By Kaptain · Posted

      Hello! Long time lurker, been using the forums to address concerns and questions from afar for a while but I've struggled to find some answers so I guess its about time I made an account and formally asked some more knowledgeable people, since finding local skyline owners is hard (and shops that are knowledgeable or trustworthy to work on 'rare' cars are non existent out where im at, as skylines are quite uncommon to find in the wild around here). So the main 3 questions I have, 1: Steering rack has blown seals, well.. they kind of hold but they are not sealed properly anymore and as my R33 is my DD, i cant exactly rip the rack out and send it off or attempt to fix myself. As most refurb ones are around $1,100 or more shipped, and I have other things I need to work on around the car, I was seeking clarification on whether an S15 rack will more or less bolt right in, and whether a common mechanic could do any other required work to get it to fit. I ask, as I've found a supplier than can sell a manufactured as oem one for around 400, if not I'll likely order a used one from Jacks JDM, and take a risk on the seals there. The second question i have is that im replacing the front wiper cowl and have planned to buy 4 new clips and a new center clip but wasnt sure if there were any other clips that would also need to get replaced while I was at it. Given im sure any that are there now will simply break when I remove the old cowl... Last thing would be a fairly straight forward question, i think. If I manage (strong if, finding one has proven to be a pain) to find a R33 GTR spoiler/wing will it require much modification to bolt to a S2 R33 GTST? I've read the bolt patterns dont match but otherwise would bolt in, only options I have found with much luck is China stuff on ebay and carbonetics, which has a nice $650 shipping fee... so if anyone has any pointers where a US chap could locate one that would be great Random side question as well, the mirrors as I understand are mirror glass, and as im planning to polish my windows from water spots and surface scratches, i was hopeful cerium oxide would be fine for them too, as my research points to, but clarification is always nice. Any pointers would be appreciated, and while I have scoured the internet for answers if I missed a prior post somewhere that may answer these directly please point me towards it, as i must have simply missed it. I have seen a post here or there that has mentioned it, but I usually get 50-50 answers, or half answers... I dont have a lot of fab experience or mechanic experience, outside of hydraulic and pneumatic stuff I did in the military and with how hard it is to source stuff in the US, id rather not wing it and hemmoraghe money lol. Thanks guys! Sorry for the monumental first post haha

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
