Are you talking about coming from Brighton (general holmes drive) or from the M5..cos if its from the M5 there isnt a camera heading city bound..it sounds weird cos there should be, but i've gone through there at about 90kmh many a time and never received a fine hehe.

it's the road right after M5 joins general holmes drive, and we drive under a 'bridge' thing where planes use to take off.

Spotted again a yellow R34 at westmead hospital with massive wing

Thats not quite true. Speed cameras in school zones are actually both directions, and they take the photo looking at your face :wave:

Some friends and I were having an argument in the car one night, and it ended up with my mate saying "Alright I'll prove it to you, they dont take photos head on!".... FLASH... He was subsequently fined :laugh:

Majority of the speed camera are taken from behind.

Where was that at?

Spotted [WILPWR] R32 on Woodville Rd the other day.

Yes, some cameras take pics in both directions, for eg, Princes Highway at Bulli. Just look for the (rectangular) sensors in the road in either direction.

Correct but some can take both sides of the road, more of them these days .

You don't have to run the risk to prove it either just look for the marks on the road, they are 1.5 metres appart and the device measures the time it takes your car to cover the 1.5 mts. Thats how it works out the speed you are travelling, keep in mind there are lots of them that are faulty as it has been proven in the past .

One that comes to mind is: The top of Spit rd, catching busses and heavy trucks doing 70-80kmh up the steep hill. The busses later proved that they could only manage 30-40 kmh up that Hill.

I've gotten done for speeding, I asked for the photo because I didn't believe it and it had the front shot... Funny enough there was a car next to me in the photo going the other direction...

Makes you wonder...

When the pic is taken it also shows which lane triggered the camera to avoid any confusion.

Hmmm.. was done many years ago in my old car.. Didn't take much notice of anything pointing towards which lane..

I just thought "Yep, well thats my car.. crap..."

spotted WAR 33R on the M5 last night at about 10ish...

that would have to be one of the meanest looking and sounding GTR's ive seen for a while... nice flame action when gearing down too...i just looked forward and pretended it was my car making the noise...

Spotted a purple R32 in St Clair today was some kind of custom purple with gold/honeycomb colour circle spot things all over it! I had to loook twice to make sure I wasnt seeing things but f*ck me it was the ugliest paintjob I have ever seen on a R32 I was embarrased to be driving my 32 behind him incase people thought I was out cruising with it.

scared to be different i take mate...... maybe if you were driving behind me people MIGHT look and notice YOUR car... instead of thinking it was just some plain boring car...

Spotted a maroon R33 parked in Northmead, a white R33 in Castle Hill on Showground Rd, and a black R34 with two thick white stripes down the centre on Station Rd in Seven Hills.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
