Hmm, general question I guess... Is it 10% tolerance up here for speeding if a camera gets you? (so 120km/hr in a 110km/hr zone you won't get booked) Or will a camera get you if you're doing 111km/hr or whatever? I know it used to be in VIC (which i think is fine for safety and the like) but Lovely Bracks turned around and made it 3km/hr over (e.g. you do 63km/hr in a 60zone you get done) which you can't even see on your speedo.

Like on the Pacific Motorway, with everybody going about 120km/hr a lot of the way, and you see the cameras but nobody seems to bother slowing down (stick out like dogs balls btw, you guys should feel lucky you don't live in the VIC police state!).

Not that I'm worried, just curious for future reference..

I've always used the 10% rule up here predator...

The other trick is to don't do more than 15ks over the limit as thats when it starts to get profitable for the police. With the new speeding laws though, this may not be true anymore...

Off topic.....but how are you finding Queensland pred?

Got lost yet?

I also hear that you have been camera happy since your vic departure.

hehe, plenty of times! but i'm getting used to it. Still getting used to those wacky one way streets up here. Otherwise I'm loving it! **** melbourne :) For the first time in a long time, I can feel *relaxed* driving around, not looking for speed cameras on every corner - and everybody seems to be going 10km/hr over the limit (which is fine from a safety perspective if you ask me).

Living in Brisbane at the moment, after a couple of weeks in the Gold Coast - i'll be back down there a fair bit i think though, coz i have a good mate down there.

Would like to come to a cruise or event and get to meet you guys, but unfortunately until i find a job, gotta lay low for a bit and save the moula :)

Coming from 3kms over the limit too 8kms/10% is like a new lease of life!

Exactly! Melbourne had become so ****ed, also just in terms of the amount of traffic and many other things.. is starting to become stagnant.

ahh pity the ppls in vic are really outgoing and vic has a good lifescene. pity about the crabby gotv. there. i used to holiday twice a year in melb"driving" i no longer go there since i got done for 53 in a 50 zone in a minibus. now i head to north qlds where the police are still decent and not road nazi like some other places. a BTW i have been warn by police for doing 120+ and no ticket in FNQ!!

i woudl be carefull. we went out to gaton the other weekend. 91 in a 80 zone. 1 point.

We were driving down "Government Road" in Labrador the other day and got flashed by one of those stupid grey Hilux's.

81 in the 60 zone, $250 and 4 points.

Traitor? Mexican thank u :D

:bahaha: i have already got a speeding fine!! have only been here two weeks! My old man says its $100 so i guess its only 1point so i keep my license ;) 12 days and i get another 3 points back. Wonder where it was? lol. I wonder if i can change to QLD license ASAP they'll stuff it up and i won't get the points transferred?? hmmm :(

Yeah, they'll move towards fixed cameras unfortunately -its too easy to make money. .better than the fugging ripp off they charge for a personalised plate around here ($2k!!! get real!!)

Hell yeah!

A $2000 plate up here costs less than $300 down there?

Oh well, it all evens out in different areas. You win on speeding and loose on plates.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
