No they're several colours, I've driven past the grey one twice in different spots. (Close to Belmont)

And I'm not going to delve into whats right and wrong too far, but I know for a fact I feel less safe looking at my speedo all the time, than I am simply looking at the road. I don't mean this in an abusive speeding context.

These cameras are set at 3km/h tolerance now?

If so there is a 3hm/h range from where at one end of the spectrum you are a speeding wanker who should be off the road.

On the other end of that 3km/h you are an inconsiderate douche who drives under the limit, and risk one day road rage and/or being rear ended.

I don't like driving anymore.

(You can source that info from the many "I got caught speeding" and "What grinds my gears" threads.)

Actually, the RTA wants to lower the threshold to only 4KM/H (Thus means the threshold is currently higher) people I know in the police force, currently put the threshold at around 8KM/H.

Considering at 100KM/H most cars have around a 6KM/H over read, to be busted, your speedo is over 14KM/H over the limit (IE, 124KM/H in a 110 zone!).

There's a bunch of streets around me at the moment, where I've driven a few cars down that currently have mobile speed readouts. 50KM/H zone, all of these cars read either 45 or 46KM/H

80 Zone, all reading around 74/75km/h

Not just one make/model, but a few!

Secondly, how long do you guys stare at your speedos for? I check all mirrors and my speed in under a second. That's why they call it GLANCING. You can look and get a very quick idea of what your speed is without staring at it and doing your 6 times tables.

And the only people I know of being road raged for sitting on the limit, are the dopes who aren't over taking anyone and ar ein the right hand lane, and there are others who want to break the speed limit and don't mind getting caught.

Those who get rear ended are normally in the above circumstance and attempt to stop suddenly :D

I know via a few gps modules that my car M35 stagea. is out in many ranges and it gets worse up high..

60kmh readout is actually 50kmh

80kmh readout is actually around 72kmh

150kmh readout is actually around 119kmh.

so i try and speed everywhere according to my instruments.. usually i am pretty safe. no fines for speeding and i go past many fixed cameras and hwp cars often..

Similar with my GPS...

Forester

60km/hr readout is actually 57

80km/hr readout is actually 75

150km/hr readout is about 138

GT-R

60km/hr readout is actually 58

80km/hr readout is actually 76

150km/hr readout is actually 141

Yeah, my GPS has always read what those mobile speed test signs read.

So now, factor in the over read in your speedos, PLUS the allowance we already have, and how far over is your speedo actually reading before you get pinged?

Stop whinging people!

Funnily enough my R33 is almost spot on with the speedo vs GPS test

My LOLberty on the other hand is a different story... on my previous tyres had the speedo reading under... then I fitted 225/40 R18s to it instead of the factory specified 215/45 R18s so now it reads even lower! Also makes the already very short 1st gear even shorter :)

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
