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:

XF vs Speed camera?

I bet the XF would win...

I was thinking the same thing... :(

i'm pretty sure the speed camera locations for my GPS that i downloaded the other day had that one in it already

yeah the locations are well known, they published the list in the sunday mail about 3 weeks ago...

all the locations to be activated in 2010...

im blown away people still get caught by them, I mean their in the same spot every day... slow down...

i'm pretty sure the speed camera locations for my GPS that i downloaded the other day had that one in it already

where can you download all the camera sites in to a gps, what is the best gps to have these days, i get my license back in 4 weeks and will be needing

to know where these camera's are. it's been a long 3 years so i have no idea where any are now.

    • Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.
    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
