Well I'm sure you guys are aware of that red light camera at the intersection at Kambah Village?

The one that SUPPOSED to only snap you if you run the red light, and (as far as I was aware) ONLY snap you for speeding if you were speeding when you went thru the red light??????

WELL it seems it is now a STAND ALONE SPEED CAMERA and can get you just like those fcking vans, whether you run the red light or not :D

When did this happen?? why has it changed? and why the fck didn't they let people know????

sorry, I'm PISSED OFF right now :D

came home to find THREE speeding tickets in my letterbox...all from last week while coming home from nightshift at 2 o'clock in the morning, three lanes all to myself, not another single bloody car on the entire road....and all for doing LESS THAN 10kms OVER THE LIMIT

89 in an 80 zone...how fcked is that?? :(

I'm pretty lucky I was going that slow, coming off the parkway it's pretty easy to keep doing 100 along there, especially in the middle of the night when there's no one else on the road.

aaargh!! they can go to hell, revenue raising wankers...

that is all :mad:

absolutely Daniel, I have no problems with red light cameras at all, you know it's there, so you don't run the red light - simple! (not that I ever run red lights anyway).

But the lights were on green when I went through, not a single other car on the road :)

I just hate the fact that they've sneakily changed the way that camera operates without telling anyone. Arseholes. :D

thanks jay, yeah it sucks and yes i'm fuming :uh-huh:

especially since i have three fines...all 1 point and $118 each

oh well...the main point of this is to let you all know how it operates now (and also to let me have a big BITCH session :D )

Since the gov obviously didn't want to let us in on the secret, I hope this might at least stop any of you guys from getting pinged too :D

they always have been stand alone speed cameras not only the one in Kambah. all three in belco, three in civic and the one in weston on hindmarsh dr. they all have signs saying that there are speed and red light cameras ahead and its your sillyness for speeding through them. sorry for sounding a bit harsh and i hate them as well. But what can ya do??

yeah, my sillyness i guess...

anyway now I know.

I went and paid one of the fines at the Wanniassa PO and the lady who runs the shop was very surprised to hear they could snap you on a green light - and her husbands a cop...so i guess I'm not alone, there seems to be a bit of confusion around.

If it's always been a "stand alone" speed camera, then i'm at aloss to explain how I've never been busted before. I've lived in that area ever since they were installed (2 or 3 years ago??) and have gone thru that intersection heaps of times at well over 80kms.

Anyway thanks for letting me have a bitch

drive safely everyone!! :D

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
