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

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
