IS this a fake speed camera? does anyone know for sure as its really old and there arnt even any warning signs around it

Im not 100% sure but i think its a heavy vehicle trip camera to stop truck drivers doing over there max hours for the day without breaks.......

If you're talking about the camera near the M7 bridge it's a truck emission camera they've been trialling. They might use the housings to test other features on cameras but currently it's not a speed camera.

It is a truck camera moniters compression braking there's also 1 going down the mountain to wollongong....

^^^ Someone said this on talk-back radio too.

Another person stated that he rang up the RTA and said, "can you tell me what that camera is at such 'n such?"

RTA: "Where is it located again?"

John Citizen: "I said it's at such 'n such"

RTA: "I dunno. Are you sure it's a camera?"

John Citizen: "Yes it's a camera and it's at such 'n such"

RTA: "In that case, we'll send out a truck to investigate."

:yes:

No, we pay tax to the thieving Labor Government that has been ruining the state of NSW for the last 15 years, but that's just my opinion. :D

As much as I'm a "Labor" person (to be honest, not so much them, just more "left-wing"), I agree with you there; State Labor is fkt.

Still don't know why they can't put a "u" in their name.

RTA didn't erect them.

DECC did, and they're not monitoring truck compression braking, they are monitoring noise levels of both trucks and cars.

Thanks Matt...

But what's the difference between the Mt Ousley sound level detection equipment (of truck compression) compared to...

the noise monitoring equipment at Minchinbury? I can't distinguish. :D

There won't be any.

The problem the DECC have with trucks is that whilst stationary, they may pass their noise emmisions, but when rolling, they become alot noiser. It's not just about compression braking, there's road noise, engine noise, they pick up the trucks quite easily who have leaking exhausts a LOT easier then employing 4 guys to wave every truck in and go over it at an inspection station.

Owen, you can't hear much of the trucks on the other sides of those walls. You'd be VERY surprised how good they are at taking out noise. If there's a worry about compression braking annoying neighbours, they put up signs stating "Please limit compression braking"

When coming down the Mt Ousley, the trucks aren't on compression brakes the whole way, that's why they're limited to low gear. When you come down there in a truck, you actually use the throttle coming down it. Until you drive a truck down there, it's hard to understand...

And Terry, there won't be a difference at all, they're both picking up noisy vehicles, as stated, it's not JUST for compression braking.

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
