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

Yeah there is no camera there city bound dude, im positive.

Also spotted a Silver R34 GTT along king georges road last night.

Yep.. cameras can only get you from behind.. plus i dont think my warnings go off on it heading citybound only westbound

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.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
