The fixed camera's along the highway are not in use yet. I drive along there twice a week at 100kph+ (very early in the morning, hardly any cars at all) and have never received a speeding fine.

I wouldnt be so sure dude...

2 weeks ago I got a nice letter in the mail from Vic Police advising me that although they are currently not fining people, they caught my car doing 106 Kmh on the western ring road [outbound heading towards deer park / keilor]. The notice basically said: pending the outcome of the system testing I may or may not be fined :P

BEWARE! The cameras are still snapping away and you MAY still end up with a fine.

BTW, I will be around the Torquay area on the 28th for my Mum's birthday so if I can meet you guys somewhere along the way I will but I may be stuck at the beach havin a bbq and beer!

Have fun!

Its almost 10 bucks for a whole day pass... not worth it since we're only going on one if not two gantries (one way)

or you can get some other method where you pay normal gantry rates plus a $1.20 licence plate matching fee per gantry or something...

All in all, I've never needed to have one and I don't want to have to get one for this :P

And if you forget or whatever, then yeah its like a $100+ fine

Snowmans route takes us through citilink?

How much does it cost

Dont we get a fine if we dont have one...

seems to be the case...but i guess if people dont have etags nor want to buy day passes then there are otherways to get there just like the last GOR cruise :P

Anyone else in S/E that plan on going but don't have an E-tag?

Snowman's route takes you on the Citylink and I refuse to get an e-tag based on principle :(

Otherwise I might have to go solo until I get to one of the other meet points ;)

I used to feel the same way about the Citylink mate until I used it for the first few times. It still shits me paying but it makes travelling so much easier and quicker. I went from Officer to Calder Park today and it took me less than 50 mins.

I dont have an etag, so will prob be heading down toorak rd if thats ok. What the official route? Can i get a pm or email about it?

Daz- i can also pick you up if you want a ride in a almost stock 32

Yeah, that's on the Ring Road. I'm talking about the Princess Freeway. The camera's along there were not activated before they had the calibration issues with all the other camera's in Victoria.

For the SE no-eTag people:

Go with Snowman's team but exit at Toorak Rd.

Head up the hill toward the city - I'll be waiting at the Shell servo in Sth Yarra.

Follow me to rejoin freeway off Kings Way - and catch up to the other group.

Also...

Anyone going through the tunnel, may these photos lead to some inspiration ;)

If there is a few of us not wanting to take Citylink we could go in together...

but re-joining Snowman (and citylink people) would be a bit hard unless there is another stop point, then that would mean they would have to wait.

The easiest thing is (non-citylink people) probably leaving a bit earlier.

Its almost 10 bucks for a whole day pass... not worth it since we're only going on one if not two gantries (one way)

it is not $10 for the sections you are using. E-Tag's aint that hard to use/work out.

you can pay by section, or get a day-pass.

please yourself. They aint 'THAT' bad.

You have upto 3 days from travel to pay for your useage. So you'd have till Tuesday to pay at any citilink branch, Shell Servo... and a number of other places.

As clarkey said, he hated it once, so did i.

But if you dont want to go e-tag... i suggest you leave much ealier from the meet point. All the by-roads that need to be taken etc.

But at the end of the day.... what is $5-$10 when your going to be buring over $50 in fuel, food and everything else?

seems pretty trivial doesnt it?

Yeah, that's on the Ring Road.  I'm talking about the Princess Freeway.   The camera's along there were not activated before they had the calibration issues with all the other camera's in Victoria.

Ok, enough of speed camera's.

If people wanna speed on the free-ways, dont whinge when you get a letter in the mail.

end of story.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
