about a month or 2 ago between Chermside and Aspley, I spotted a small metal box sitting in the centre traffic island.

It was fixed to the ground (approx 50 x 50cm x ??) and seem to have some type of camera & flash mounted in it.

also looked like it was attached to those rubber traffic counter strips running across the road.

anyone else seen what I'm talking about?

hope like hell they aren't a new type of speed camera. they could hide them almost anywhere.

They are indeed the new speed cameras.

No their not...

They had them on all major arterial roads out of Brisbane.

Their simply traffic monitoring cameras, it was in the local "North side chronicle" paper a few months back.

They were set up on sandgate road, gympie road & old northern road.

Also a bunch of back streets to monitor how many people used urban streets to take short cuts.

They were only up for 3-4 days and were very basiclly secured to sign posts.

The one on Linkfield road near bunnings Carseldine was stolen hence the story in the paper calling for it to be returned.

The new fixed speed cameras look very similar to the old ones, just a tad bit smaller. Check out the one on the gateway just before the Nudgee turnoff heading southbound. Its about to go active in the next week. Just need the lines on the road to be painted and its up and running. Just another one to add to the dozens of mobile units out there to take your money...

Im still surprised no one had gone out with a petrol powered grinder and just cut a speed camera down...

Or thrown paint all over the road where the lines are...

Or spray painted the lens...

Or gone postal... :D

I don't know about here in Australia but in the UK they've given them a hard time:

      Rb25 trigger kit and timing misalignment

      By drifter17a · Posted

      The trigger kit I have is similar to the one in the link below. While going through Facebook, I saw someone else mention a similar issue, and I’m starting to think this could be related to the crank gear itself. I understand these parts are CNC machined, but maybe some earlier versions or individual pieces might have slight inconsistencies—it just doesn’t look right in my case. https://www.facebook.com/share/16an8evZd9/?mibextid=wwXIfr I originally installed the crank gear using the thin OEM washer, but as shown in the attached photo, the timing belt walks very close to the edge. When I tried using a Nitto washer—which is thicker—it actually made the issue worse. The belt walks about 1mm off the front edge, which raises more concern about alignment.   I’ve gone through the full process of elimination:   The tensioner pulley and bolt are brand new and installed correctly. The bolt isn’t bent and is oriented properly. The back of the tensioner and the idler pulley are clean and seated correctly. The idler sits slightly more forward, which I understand is due to its design. I’ve experimented with both tight and loose belt tension, but it makes no difference. As soon as the engine runs, the belt immediately walks forward again—even if I reset it beforehand.     At this point, I’m considering replacing the crank gear with your Race Version 1 (12-tooth), but before purchasing, I wanted to ask:   Are you aware of any alignment issues when using this gear? Would this gear help keep the belt aligned correctly, or could the walking still occur? Does it work with a standard missing-tooth crank and rear washer? Is there any specific crank setup or install procedure required?     For reference, I’m not using a front washer, as the PRP crank gear seems to replace the need for one.   Looking forward to your advice.

      Yep, looks that way. Never driven an E30 or R31 so I can only imagine

      Yuh, My new R34 box is sitting on the workshop floor (in its large shipping box, which is a nice thing on its own), along with a front plate to convert to push clutch. There was no way I was interested in rebuilding my existing one. Was only partly interested in the risk of buying a used one. But, if you want a 2nd hander, I can point you to one in/near Melbourne at least. @Komdotkom has one that should be in good enough condition to be usable. I don't think it's in a for sale thread, you'd have to message him. @redzedhas one that definitely needs a rebuild.
