yeah, unfortunately their counter argument would hold substantial weight.

you know, speed cameras save lives and all that.

one of those necessary evil arguments.

But you still need to look out for cop cars tho.

yes there is 1 there. ive fired up a few commy drivers and slamed the breaks just b4 it b4 :( good times... bloody proud vn drivers... haha.

Kinda offtopic: Is it true that there is satellite speed tracking on south-eastern freeway? I heard it from my friend... but I wouldnt be so sure about it...

first ive heard of it, and ive driven that freeway about 60 thousand times.

I got flashed while going through a green before, was pretty stressed out for a long time, but all good now (~8month past now & nothing...)

Funny thing was, while I was going through the intersection & getting flashed, the car behind me, (driven by what looks like a house wife picking up kids),as soon as she saw the flashes she fully stepped on the brakes & did a full stop in the middle of the intersection... dumb b*tch ;)

doubt it. if it even exists, itd be ridiculously expensive technology to use for speed enforcement.

Not hard to spot

- usually latest model Ford/Commodore

- Number plates are normal SA or SA gov plates, but never have the car yard black plastic trim around the plate

- usually have luvres on the rear window

its a habit of mine to slow down if i ever pass a new model commodore or falcon on the side of the road, then look in the rear view for the little flasher on the front bar ;)

thats exactly what i do too damo

i have found out in the past that they dont give out all of the locations of mobile flashers

so be aware of that as well

as for satelite tracking on the freeway

shit i better hope not as it would be an expensive exercise

they use sat tracking on some highways as a way to measure how fast trucks have done over a set time vers distance thing . and too see if they have pulled up for rest periods ect ect its here now and has been for a while

There are observation cameras at various points that (I'm led to believe) CAN be used to determine if your average speed between points is too high - I believe they're usually primarily used to catch truckies who've removed the limiters on their trucks or dodge their logbooks.

    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
