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 :)

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
