Thanks for the Birthday wishes Strutto :)

Got a little blue card in the mail to pick up some registered post, so I assume that it is the photo :) Can't wait to see it.

Will be posted after I get over my B'day celebrations, so expect it in about two-three weeks :)

hahaha funny shit!!

the speed camera are all privately owned and not run by cops so even if the photo shows u sticking your finger up at the camera they cant do shit about it.

the camera operators can manually take a pic also, i heard of a guy not wearing a seat belt getting his photo taken my a mobile speed camera which he got the fine for.

Yeah I can confirm that cops do run man the speed cameras. My last speeding ticket was given to me by a 'mobile' speed camera van. He took offence to me overtaking him on the Centenary Hwy, pulled me over, and proceeded to manually write out a speeding ticket. Very uncool. It not everyday you get pulled over by a Mitsubishi Express Van!

[i would question their authority to photograph you with a speed camera when you weren't speeding]

the cameras can take a photo of whatever they like, it is often used when gathering intelligence on people who use the highway, or if there is a bikie group in town, they can get a photo of them all to check for warrants and stuff. they are only used in court if you are speeding. otherwise, damn fine effort and wish i had thought of it, really want to see the photo when it is up too. hahahahaha :headspin:

if i were at the pub i would buy you a beer :)

I once was pulled over by a van transporting a prisoner, it was a three lane set of lights and it merged into two, I was in the left, and took off from the lights to get in front of them, however, they sped up and beside me and signalled to pull over, and asked why i was in a hurry. I was surposed to be at my friends house 1 hour earlier, but my ex-gf kept me busy and I was late.

they checked my rego and let me drive off. Very weird for an unmarked van with a prisoner in it.

I'd say you've been had.....by a friendly set-up. Don't believe the revenue raiser (Police Imposter) would have a second hand-held camera or have the time to react, after their jaw just dropped.

Keep up the good work....there are too many revenue raisers in the Traffic branch and the "Betty" Government and I'm sure the Premier's name is Betty.

Had a (Police Imposter) edge me on to hit the speed limiter once.

He was in an unmarked car, Tail-gating and driving eradically beside, then behind and then way behind. I waited for him to catch up, when he put the light on the roof. I pulled over and when he got to my door, I abused the crap out of him.....never got booked....he just wanted to see how quick the REX was.

Just because they wear a uniform, doesn't mean they have gained any purity, wisdom and above all commonsense. Talk to anyone in the traffic branch and it will only turn into a heated disscussion and or arguement.

Have fun safely, theres a time and place for everything. Including exceeding the speed limit.

Its more like when they put their uniform on they think their shit dont stink and they turn into arrogant assholes. Even tho someone with just a high school education can become a cop! pfft

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
