As Fatz said, the signs are a courtesy and not a legal requirement. They are not a gazetted traffic sign in the road rules 2008 (However the speed limit symbol on the sign is). There is no excemption from a speeding offence in the Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) Act 1999 if signs arent present.

The only sign legally required to enforce a speed limit apart from the default 50km/h limit (Which requires no signage at all) Is a speed restriction or derestriction sign.

someone who who knoes the law

Hehe. Seen it tried in a few courts. Funnily often referred to as ignorance. Good to watch but ends like every other train smash, Horrifying but you just cant help but look. :santa:

If the matter is proven and you are dealt with by way of a S10 dismissal. If this is the case you can appeal to the RTA to get your points back.

If no prima facie is reached and the matter is dismissed then you retain your points

regarding points

it shits me this system

but oh well im gonna start a new thread on who has what points..........

  • 3 weeks later...
start of school they will be opperational

simple as that

has school started!!!????

work it out!

i dunno if your post was suppose to be sarcastic......

but if not.....

what we meant by up and running is that... weeks ago.....the 2nd part of the camera...(the smaller Lense) was missing with wires hanging out. and obviously it needs both larger and smaller lense box to work. so visually you can tell its not working.

but recently what i think people are telling us is that they have completed it physically by appearance.

but school hasnt started just yet.....

but the camera is NOT just a School Zone camera...it also works as a Standard Speed Camera depending on the time of day.

so in otherwords.....the other school zone cameras throught NSW currently STILL WORK.... but its just during the schedule during school hours.....since its holidays...it will be a normal speed camera at 60km/h.

so perhaps they got it up and running but obviously they shouldnt snap you at 60km during school times.

isnt woodvile rd 70?

yeah but i was refering to other speed cameras in sydney

mostly are 60km/h

that spot with the speed camera we were talking about....thats a pretty easy spot to go over the limit.

Even when they are signposted the RTA will generally have a lead in period where the camera is operational but infringement notices are not issued. This may run for up to 6 weeks and is part of the policy regarding public awareness when installing traffic enforcement cameras.

hmm..well heading towrds parra the camera looks complete and ready to run. the one heading to cabra looks half done, the portable signs still flashing "commencing soon" ......

as i said before they will issued warning letters for teh first month when they are turned on

however if you go threw at 150 dont excpect to get a warning notice

;)

yeah personally i wouldnt risk it at all......

even though the cameras looks very much FULLY operational...due to the fact both cameras are up and the 3 Warning signs towards the cameras are posted...

but the only thing is that the Electronic signs say "commencing soon"

either way i slow down just incase... i tend to think of the worst case scenario.

its not worth it if it just takes you 2 seconds to slow down at that point.

All school zones should have flashing lights to warn drivers to slow down, and now they can have. See www.schoolzonelights.com.au for details. Will put a bit of a dent in the Government's coffers and help make school kids safer.

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
