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..

    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
    • And now the bloody flapper is jammed slightly open. Lazy as all f**k in 3rd-5th (very hard to convince it to make much boost before you run out of revs), but will make 12 psi in 1st, which shouldb't be possible with a 5 psi spring and controller set to <10 psi. Methinks I'm lucky it jammed where it did, rather than fully closed. It's actually a well weird situation. Careful examination of what's happening in the back of that housing when the gearbox comes out and all the other stuff (injectors, AFM retune) is supposed to be done, next week.
