Yea from 3 to 2 lanes just past the truck inspection bay.

But there is a flash unit behind it. I think its a speed camera, but the camera full points towards the other side of traffic. Check it out next time and see for yourself.

I drive to gong nearly everyday so i will keep a look out for a new speed camera sign (if it is a speed camera)

Comes to a point where you just say no more..

I want to take an angle grinder and go to work on as many fixed speed cameras as I can.

I agree lets cutem down!just another revenue raiser.

If they where serious they would make the vehicles attend the RTA to qualify the defect, then get repaired the said problem.

I think they are targeting trucks using compression brakes,,,not us. Let face it,,,going down Ousley would normally be done on a trailing throttle,,,no skylines going to break the limit of a noise box.

Oh and some of my good old friends are bikies,,,sure their bikes are loud,,,but they are cool dudes.

hard to pin a recording of air brakes on a particular truck...

From what I've read, the system uses several microphones. If they're directional enough, it shouldn't be impossible to triangulate the source of the noise.

Putting it on Mt Ousley Rd, on such a steep section of road, is just bollocks if you ask me. There's not much by way of housing out there, and there's sound barriers, and I'd rather there be a little noise than trucks having no brakes at the bottom of the hill.

Oh trust me, I know how that part of it would work :)

My point is, you would still need a picture of the vehicle in question. You can't just play back a recording and be like, "I put it to you mr trucker sir, that these ARE your air brakes..."

The system takes a 10 second video recording to go with the audio and triangulation data.

Wonder how many DB a joint fart can produce.

I reckon we just find out where the mics are, and just set up a birdseed tray in front of them.

Some of those birds make a massive racket, and if the government tries to shoot or poison them all those nature types will kick up a massive stink.

Bonus points for someone who can figure out how to make a kookaburra shit on the camera lens.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.

      Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary?

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
