Hey all

Just a heads up, there is a new perminant speed camera at the Grenfel/Frome intersection (its aimed at people comming into the city along Grenfel).

Not that you would be speeding anyway but they r dodge so take it slow :P

Cheers,

spangers

Yes, well we must be aware of those "blackspots" in the city.

More proof they don't care about making roads safer ... just making money! :)

Ever notice when they stick a camera up at a set of lights, it always faces the direction with the increased change in speed limit? Never any of the other 3 directions.

Take Sturt Rd/Marion Rd for instance. A majority of the vehicle crashes actually occur in the direction not captured by the camera (east-west). :laugh:

Another famous one is the one crossing on West Tce. Funny how they changed speed limit signs at that intersection to catch people out. 2002, revenue from speed cameras fell by $2M, so what did they do? They introduced the 50kph limit in "built up areas". Our streets were getting safer, its what they CLAIMED they wanted, but then they change the rules and make us all crims for driving at 60! And it made them look good on paper to the Govt to spend more money on trying to catch the law breakers that THEY created!

:banana:

EDIT: I rarely get caught for speeding .. maybe once every two years for 3-5kph over, so I'm not ranting because I'm sore about getting caught. I'm ranting because it is clearly revenue raising and they think we are stupid.

If we ALL drove at 50 and their revenue went down, they'd just lower other limits all over SA, maybe even lower 50 to 40! Some day in the next 5 years, it might take us days to travel interstate with the speed limit being 80kph, or 70kph even.

      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.

      A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.

      Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.

      Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
