Hey guys,

I'm very curious about something... the other night I was on my way to buy a HDD from someone and saw a flash as I went over a traffic light intersection, anyways, I thought I had gone over it as it turned red as I was looking all over for street names as I was not 100% sure where I should be going...

SO, I received a fine today, it's for the same place, but dated before I went out that night to get the HDD. It's for doing 60km/h in what I thought was a 60km/h zone, but it turns out it's 50km/h, and to be absolutely honest I thought it was a 60km/h zone and I can almost swear that I don't see any signage referring to speed limit leading up to that speed camera, but that could just be me, and I may need to take a drive up there to make sure, hence I'm asking here do I have any contest here? Or was I just retarded and not reading the signs 100% like I should, or is there a blanket speed limit for any city-like area?

More specifically, the location of the camera is here (Williams St/Flinders St).

Seeing as I have fine #2 certainly on it's way, that's 6 points - I have no idea about the demerit system as it's not really my intention to ever have deal with it, so how does this work? From what I know, there's a total of 12 maximum demerits, and after that it's license suspension? I obviously have hefty finage to now pay, which is shit enough. How long do demerits last for before they expire?

Thanks for your help, please no sarcasm or griefers, don't really need that right now. :P

sooo.... they said you were there when you actually weren't? i don't quite understand.. if you can prove that their timing system is out that might help your cause a bit.. but yeah the general rule is 'if there's no sign it's 50'..

bad luck mate, i feel your pain..

Na dude, I was driving there a while ago before I got the HDD - but never saw the flash during day-time. I have even SEEN people get flashed here at night when I wasn't driving, I just assumed they were going faster than 60km/h :P. So the other fine is definitely coming. As far as I know I've driven by there a few times... so maybe I'm totally fu!ked.

50 in built up areas, blanket and much publicised etc etc. So you cant get away with it.

As for it being not when you thought - i doubt that.

however if you think its wrong go view the photo and you'll be able to see if its your car or not (details are on the back of the form i believe)

+1 - If there's a chance it's not you, go and buy a copy of the photo. A guy from back home got done for using (and speeding on) CityLink with no pass, and the rego on the fine was for his tractor. If the plate's obscured or slightly illegible, they just send it to the closest match.

Otherwise, as said - If it's unsigned, it's 50. So i don't think you've got anywhere to go on that one. And you're tagged with the points for three years.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
