New Speed Cameras Lurking In Melb

A couple of weeks ago I was in a cab on my way to Melb airport when the driver pointed out a new speed camera.

Rather than the usual camera in a car on the roadside, this one was a radar/speed detector & camera on a small tripod about 2-3 feet high and a silver metal box about .5m squared all sitting on the kerbside, with seemingly noone else around.

I saw another on High St Glen Iris yesterday lunchtime, not far from Malvern Rd intersection.

One each side.

I think I may have been clocked doing 65 in a 60 zone as I was a bit slow in noticing it.

These are going to be huge cash cows for the greedy Vic govt as they are no where near as obvious as the usual cars with tinted windows.

I spoke to a courier yesterday arvo, as they are always on the road. He said his brother-in-law was clocked speeding by one of these, but was not fined as (supposedly) they are still in the testing phase. I'll get back to you on that, pending my letterbox drops. :D

Anyway, here's a pic (taken from a crappy Nokia phone) so you can get to know your enemy. :(

Surely these are too easy to take care of with a baseball bat? Or even just pushing them over?

there would be some1 lurking around nearby looking after it ... its a potential cash cow 4 the government... they would definately look after them

Who cares if it is 'legit'

I've parked infront of the parked car speed camera's before (was near where i was staying).

Stuff em.

The dude came out and said he was trying to operate a speed detection device and i was in his camera's line which affected it.

I said, ye i know, and asked if i could move it, i said nup. Went inside :)

He also said it took a little while to setup etc

So must have been a pain in the ass :)

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
