hahaha i agree, funny yet some what distrubing. What did the cop do when he saw it? Stakeouts are fun.

He held his head in his hands and almost cryed... Thats what made is disturbing...

He didnt approach the vechicle, he just called for backup and waited at McDonalds while they smashed his car...

those new vans are not as distinctive as the old dirty cruisers are, only seen one so far on Appleby rd.

Really Appleby rd, thats low I love that road :P

There is a black R34 that lives on that road, down towards the lights on Stafford road...

yeah i have seen that one on me way to uni, also a nice r33 across the road from the guy that must import cars on that hill just after Maryland st, he has two Supra's parked out the front at the moment.

the van was parked at the top of a hill, just before a round-a-bout opposite the power substation, sorry don't no the street name.

Oh so the speed camera was just before that little side access road after Maryland street... Checky bugger...

As for the house with the supras, I know them quite well...

hey just some exciting news a nice man in a white van so kindly took a photo of my skyline as i was driving past and ime shure hell send me a invoice for his troubles

but i seem to be seeing more and more of these around is there a influx of speed trap

even more so 1 day after my kind photo experence was driving home sitting in the traffic doing like 10 k over and i see mr hiway patrol mand with his hand held laser up ahead

does anyone know if the hand held guns take phitis

as i saw a little red light if so ime gooornn 2 tickes in 2 days it sucks to be me i juess any info on peoples experence with hand held speed guns would be cool

Hot damn! Ouch!

Anyway, no, the hand held radars only give speed. The cops have to chase you down and write you out a ticket. Coming back from gympie the other day I was trying to catch jarrad who had a lead on me, and I poped past a cop in a red highway patrol car, I *may* have been over the limit, im *not sure*. It wouldnt of been much tho, 10 km's max. Even if I was, he didnt seem to think it worth the bother. He was using one of the hand held guns.

I got poped a few months back by an undercover with a mobile radar, ever since then I havent had the balls to speed like I usually do. I cop all sorts of road rage for being in a GTR that does the speed limit, but I dont have the points to withstand anything else.

Just a quick note, I've seen a couple of new speed camera vans. The ones I saw were black. Make of that what you will...

+1 - ive seen white and black vans and the old dirty patrols as well.

They also look kinda silly and funny in there bright neon clown costumes pointing there "laser guns" down the road with super serious expressions on there face, similiar to what youd expect from a firing squad.

I wounder if they have ever stopped to look at themselfs?

As to why I own a gtr, its cause it looks fully shick when I go to pickup the milk bread and eggs, along with whatever else I print on the side of my car. Why else would I want a twin turbo 4wd 260 kw sports car to drive around on the streets?

Reading this thread has really made me chuckle... we have it so easy up here in QLD as far as speed cameras go,

personally laughed my ass off when I saw my first speed camera, a giant patrol with a snorkle and a police sign down the side!? C'mon... you can see them a mile off and always have time to slow down ( if you are going above the limit. )

You should try owning a fast car in SA. Down there speed cameras are everywhere, not only fitted to all red-light cameras now but mostly in unmarked standard commodores and magna's simply parked on the side of the road, they look just like any other personally owned ride and they are quite litterally everywhere.

However this is not the worst of it, just before I left SA ( a little over a year ago now ), they started setting up small transportable speed cameras mounted on tri-pods which were hidden in bushes along the side of roads, with usually an unmarked monitoring vehicle parked down a driveway or a side road keeping an eye on it, not only this but they also introduced 'bin cameras' which were in wheelie bins sitting on the footpaths, this idea didn't last too long on account of a few being burnt down and a couple being smashed to bits by very pissed off motorists.

As far as the guys with the guns go, doesn't matter where you are in Australia, you will always find these guys, and more often than not, they will be sitting just over a crest, around a corner or just out of sight on a long stretch of road, can't be avoided.

Anywayz, just my 2c, we have it easy up here. ;)

yeah it IS illegal to setup cameras on a hill.. or should i say it's stated that they shouldnt be setup on a hill.. but when has this ever stopped them from doing something they've been told not to do.. gotta get that revenue.. gov'ment wont do sh!t about it cause they getting the money.. I agreed catch the speeders.. but not sneaky tactics to go to any lengths to do it.. some of the things they do are dangerous.. also they dont always get accurate readings..

well no point arguing or disputing.. they have the final say and us lowly ppl get thrown to the dogs..

Dirty, dirty tricks. We also have a beautiful red mazda 6 undercover car!

He will launch it at the lights until he hits 60! then nabs ya! saw him get an SS last week.

with that statement, im pretty sure that under the new hooning laws,

if there is a designated start/finsih line intended for a "race" and there are 2 or more participants, then this is classed as a street race. i think that is wrong because the biggest double standards are opperating there, and also, with that, couldnt that been seen as some sort of intrappment?

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
