ahhh, cops in space, they had this years ago in warrawong when i first got my liscense. was found not to be cost effective.

im more worried about the point to point thing happening on the m7. that is accurate.

ill be doing as liitle driving as possible over the next 2 weeks...massive police presence already being felt in the gong.

ps, why cant we use the word cop lol.

does the point to point thing really exist on the M7? I've never been booked there. Not that I ever speed of course.... :)

and I'm the admin cause I give good backrubs.

I wonder what the police cessna is like? The cessna sales office is just down the block from my office here in circular quay and it's pretty flash. you can get some pretty swanky fitouts. did they buy an ex drug plane? or the drug boat of their dreams? they probably have drug shoes and drug dresses too... :D

The point to point speeding thingy for the M7 has been a rumour ever since the M7 became operational :P

I can confirm policeman officers do set up speed traps on the M7 though :D

As well as basically every other road in NSW...

actually - the real danger in sydney is the 50 new speed cameras where there used to be red light cameras. I don't know where they are, and I don't know how (if?) they are signposted :D

so be careful places that used to be license safe may be no longer.

I love the fact that when the road toll goes up......they try more of what is not working! go genuises!

They are sign posted "Safety Camera Ahead" which can mean red light, or both red light and speed.

I never used to have any probs with these.

But now, I have to be careful 'gunning the amber' and getting pinged for a speed violation in the process - thru complacency & a car that can squirt.

'Safety Camera Ahead' = What a load of 'Spin'!

has it considered periods where you overtake

pretty confident in the eyes of the law you shouldn't be speeding at all, regardless.

mate of mine is facing loosing his licence because he was rushing to get to an accident that happened on the opposite side of the road.

well in regards to this topic i read in the daily telegraph yesterday or the day before that the Cessna hasn't even left the ground. Because of the bad weather its been grounded meaning it hasn't even made the government any money yet :rant:

dunc, they are signed as 'safety camera ahead' and there is a list on the RTA website of the new locations. :P

They've been using 'SCARECROW POLICE CARS' instead - stationary vehicles with uniform/hat on the driver's seat.

Locations so far...

i) M4 just west of the Cumberland Hwy

ii) Hume Hwy

Any others?

I'm pretty sure the new 500m lines on the M4 are to help the cessna book people. If it's taking you less than 16 seconds to go between lines you're going to be in trouble.

These Scarecrow police cars are actually checking for cars with out registration.

      Fender flare widths across front/back of car

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Hey y'all! I'm curious about how y'all go about widebodying your cars. I noticed that when running a square setup, my front wheels are a bit more tucked in than my rear wheels. Not by much, maybe 5-10mm. This leads me to wonder - when I widebody, should I use narrower front flares and wider rear flares? I found a set of 40mm rear flares that I really like, and was thinking of pairing them with some 18mm front flares, but I don't want the car to look strange. How have others done this? Note, I'm in a sedan. Thanks!

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      And if it was anything other than an auto tranny part, it might be a problem. But seeing as all auto trannies belong in the recycling bin, it's fine.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By dbm7 · Posted

      All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents
