Alright people i was just travelling along wuduru road in mt cotton and i passed a champagne nissan patrol, that had no signage or police stickers.

It looked a bit suss so I did the U banger and went back to have a look and ended up chatting to one of queenslands finest for the last 20 minutes.

Apparently the amazing queensland government are trialling 3 new unmarked radars, but he could only tell me he thought one of the others was a blue van :dunno:

These new unmarked cars do not need to have any signs present, and you won't even notice them. So it doesn't pay to speed... :D

Just thought I would let everyone know

cheers

Do any of you watch the news? Round christmas they were warning everyone that speed cameras where now going to be unmarked in 2009 AND more hand held detectors will be carried on board cars. they are trying to stop people ringing people and warning them about speed camera's, to try an catch more people to raise money so they can upgrade the area they hold there christmas party. They think that this will make people more cautious when diving because you will never know what a camera car is going to be next. Black mercede vans are the only ones i have seen unmarked so far.

And the general public are mostly behind it. You only get caught if you are doing something wrong.

Yep and real criminals get off or serve minimal sentences.. You gotta wait hrs for police to turn up to a real crime (if the do at all)..

and to top that off the police braeak laws all over the place.. Speeding, parking in Loading docks or DO NOT PARK.. places... All to get their food to feed their fat guts..

once again reference to the "growing road toll" even my nephew could figure out that the road toll grows in-line with the population growth....there is a baseline % of fatalities each year, it doesn't really change and may actually be less, but that multiplied by a larger population of drivers = a bigger number.

Why are the "top" people in government so thick?

Unmarked speed cameras doesn't stop speeding, it just makes people more resentful.

SPEEDING = Voluntary Tax

Don't want to pay don't speed.......mmmmm could it be that simple.......

This is the sort of simplistic crap we constantly see from Government talking heads, not real drivers.

Do you actually watch your speedo ALL THE TIME????? I know on my recently changed 90k highway, I spend way too much time watching the speedo instead of the road.

Really clever thinking here.......NOT !!!!!!

The rationale is that we go out and buy a new car with cruise control for the straights and hills, and nice big brakes to wear out on the downhills.

Yeah this was published in the sunday mail about 3 weeks ago (round new years)...

I dislike speed cameras as much as everyone else, but unfortunatlly there here to stay...

But i think if you get fined you should get a framed A4 gloss photo for your money :D

I've had one speeding ticket in my life and am now 32yrs old. Ive owned in this order a Nissan Bluebird, VK Wagon, Torana(modded), Ford Laser, Vx ss(modded), VL Turbo(highly modded), Vy ss(modded) and now my skyline(highly modded).

Unfortunately people get done for doing as little as 11k's over the speed limit including Ma and Pa Kettles through to the higher end of the spectrum.

Don't like it move to Vic where there speed cameras (I believe) start at 5 k's over then you can whinge about revenue raising. Pull your hand off it about looking at your speedo all the time. Speed is one of the fatal four like it or lump it.

Speed Cameras are better than no deterrent.....

If you are doing 11k's or more over the speed limit then your not paying enough attention and deserve whats coming to you.

DON'T SPEED = DON'T GET FINED

NOTE ***** IM SORRY I MUST NOT BE A REAL DRIVER JUST A REALIST

Harden up Buttercup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yea but dude. it is sometimes hard to drive around all day in a fast car with out at least once wanting to wind out one gear.

i just say keep your eyes peeled

Take your turbo off then :P might save you a speeding fine.

And remember, no 'winding out' on public roads, that's what racing tracks are for.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.

      RH9 R32 GTR Build Thread

      By OST Micah · Posted

      While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
