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.

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:

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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
