The Tool...i agree totally!! :uh-huh:

the drive between Syd and Canberra (for example) is SOOO mindnumbingly boring sitting on 110km/h...and it's such a straight, safe road! Roads like that should definately have a higher limit. The only thing that keeps me awake is glancing at my speedo every 5 secs to make sure I'm not speeding too much lol

as for 50km/h zones...yeah we have them here, but it's "unless posted otherwise"...and most main suburban streets seem to be posted 60 (from what I've seen anyway)!

some places where it's 50 (for example i live in a Circuit and it would be 50) you wouldn't be able to hit 60 if you tried, probably wouldn't even get up to 50 either!

Guys,

The blanket 50km/h limit has nothing to do with revenue raising. In reality it will have little or no effect on the motoring public but it will free up funds that are currently being spent on 50 speed limit signposting in residential areas.

When this comes into effect all collector and arterial roads will remain at the same speed limit and will be signposted accordingly, while residential and local roads will be 50. This means that the millions of 50 limit signs on local roads will no longer be required and the only speed limit signposting will be on major arterial routes.

On the subject of seat position I was unfortunate enough to attend a fatal accident where the driver had his seat back and "submarined" under the seat belt and drilled himself (I think it was a him) into the firewall under the steering wheel. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Geez I'm a little ray of sunshine today, aren't I?

Avagoodweekend,

Ben

i totally disagree! how can you say it isn't revenue raising...

all the cops will do is sit in unmarked zones, catching everyone driving along at the mind numbing speed of 60km/h and book em for 10 over..

how can you say that has no effect on the motoring public? looks to be a big effect to me! what next, 40km zones in suburban areas, followed by 40km zones everywhere... followed by walking because it will be faster!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
