have to remeber those ones. i reckon a lot of people will get done by them, just about every second person puts their foot down through amber lights

I don't think the guy in the link I posted just squeezed it on to get through the lights.. 70km/h over the limit.. that tops my official best of 55km/h over! :kiss:

Rear-ending will probably increase significantly.

lol yeah dude, "official" means I got caught :)

Nailed by a cop with a laser.. from 315m away! :O

This way back in the days before hoon laws etc.. I was 5km/h off losing my license on the spot and being taken away in a squad car :)

Best be careful on bikes!

Good opportunity to do a stoppie.... and then get wiped out :P

just get the wheel up on a good enough angle so the camera cannot see your plate :rofl: Failing this just reach around stick your hand/foot over your plate or at least partially cover it.

I love reach arounds :P

:rofl:

Considering they are fixed it's not as bad as ones that can pop up anywhere to make revenue save lives...

Knowing where they are is more of a proven deterrent, it's just that the government won't accept & agree with that.

Riverside Drive where the Bell Tower is a fixed speeding camera. And theres 3 on leach hwy

They removed the red light camera on the beginning of hay street, so Im guessing there gonna put a fix speeding camera there

I need to remember that...

even before the camera there that would have to be one of the worst spots to let loose.

anyone know if they work in more than 1 direction? and what part of your car has to be over the line before the light goes red?

On a related topic, my dad just received a fine for speeding during the Easter Break time. Happened on our way to Kalgoorlie, apparently he was going 109km/h (90km/h) area, must be one of those times when he was over taking a multi-stage Semi, I didn't even know that the gutless Corolla could master enough grunt to push to 109km/h in that short period of time...

Dad is telling me to keep my mouth shut about this to mum, not because she cares much about the points (4) nor whole 'lower speed is safer thing' but because of the $150 fine... being the typical 'cheap ass Asian' she is gonna kill us both if she found out we effectively just 'wasted' $150. :)

& this makes me the 'safest' driver in the family for the reasoning of having no fines :thumbsup:

just curious

the speed camera is basically like a normal speed camera yeah? detects if your going too fast and flashes?

what are these ones i've heard about where they measure point to point?

like 1 set of lights and then the other set and then theyre like 'you travelled fast between there, SNAP'

or is that hocus pocus :blush:

hey guys, i know now you cant 'speed through amber lights' but at least you know where the cameras are.

Plus you shouldnt REALLY be speeding anyway, not THAT drastically :blush:

but i know everybody speeds now and then.

but yeah in the eastern states people know where the speed cameras are and now we know where a few are too.

Apparently they will be brought in, but with how they are described to work there's gotta be a few loopholes surely :blush:

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
