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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      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.
