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.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
