Ah f*ck it, all governments are about revenue raising. At least NSW will be marking the mobile speed cameras. So if anyone gets done for speeding (if these changes are ever made) they deserve it. :thumbsup:

+1 :) Exactly right. Anyone getting done by any speed cameras has no excuse anyway, especially fixed ones.

Wonder if they'll extend this to HWP sitting in bushes?

Seen that already in QLD :) on the Pacific Motorway they'll hide between open spaces in bushes/trees separating the two directions of the motorway. They park nose in towards the road at night. If you're smart enough you spot them from far, but this gives them advantage to quickly close in even if the speeding driver hasn't noticed. HWP also hide out behind bushes on the long down stretch coming from Mt Cootha Lookout heading back towards the city catching spirited drivers. Won't be long NSW will start following suit I reckon.

* Bells Line Of Road 1.5km east of Mt Tomah Botanical Gardens Entrance.

* Pacific Hwy 6km south of Pt Macquarie.

2x of many...

They do this all the way up to Sydney anyway. While it does kinda get the people who speed, it'd still be better having an actual police presence out on the road. Ah well; ours is not to wonder why... apparently.

cant wait for this to take effect, I know they get my vote

hate the bastards but whats the alternative?

agree re points seem to be removed for the wrong offences, should def be increased for not indicating, clapped out cars and my big hate, hogging the overtaking lane doing ten under..

oh and Rawgr, sign me up as your first courier. I used to be a government bus driver (until i didnt have enough points) and we always complained about having the same points as everyone else (bus drivers are REALLY good at complaining though).

Still i will be pretty suprised if this gets through while the daily telegraph, police union and harold scruby (pedestrian council) are still dictating the headlines..

Harold Scruby is an effing peanut.

If it were up to him, he'd have it enshrined in law that anyone owning a motor vehicle must push their cars everywhere whilst being set on fire.

Then he'd be on telly, frothing at the mouth about how drivers pushing cars whilst on fire were a threat to pedestrian safety, and should be banned. Or set on fire. Or both.

Chairman of the pedestrian council my arse.

What government department elected him? No one.

When are the elections? Never.

Who does he answer to? No one.

He's the self appointed king of f##k all, and people listen to his mad ramblings, like he's some kind of expert.

Yet people with sensible ideas are routinely ignored and undermined because it doesn't fit with the current misguided thinking.

Sorry about that, don't know what came over me. I'm off to have a bex, and a lie down...

I hear he is an expert on parents running over their own children in their 4WDs.

Too far? :P

Thanks man!

Desire to strangle Scruby ebbing away, much better. Lol!

dont worry man i understand totally, every time i read a quote from him in the daily toilet paper or worse, see him on ACA my blood boils. making him an arbiter of road safety would be like putting bruce ruxton in charge of immigration..

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 馃槩

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      By Duncan 路 Posted

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
