Well there is a chance that they will make 10%.

So vote Liberals at the next election.

And if any1 have a chance to speak to Libs leader (before elections)

maybe he could ask a question regarding the buffer on speed cameras.

I would love to hear the answer (may be a lie anyway)

And if you be so lucky to shake his hand dont forget to count your fingers (you never know)

Yeah, I remember rthe Liberals saying they were going to put it back to 10%...

What I don't understand with the current system, is that someone once mentioned that the ADRs state that a vehicle's speedo must be accurate to +/-5%. Now if that's what Federal law states (and if I'm wrong, someone please correct me cos' I'd love to know!) how the hell can State government come up with a law stating we will only allow 3%?

If it's true we could all get proof that our speedos are 5km under (putting larger tires on if we must! :D) taking that to court, and getting these stupid 3km/h over fines thrown out!!!

agreed

This probably sounds geeky but anyway in scientific measurement (which is measurements off any scale) the number is always accurate to half the increment... so in my car there is increments of 10km/hr so if i'm going 94 (accordingf to the speedo) it could be that i'm actually going 90. but equally so if i'm going 95 it could be that i'm going 100...

(scientific error - if anyone knows what i'm talking about)

geeky but true davor... :)

nothing is accurate without an error margin specified.

and as for the liberals bringing back the +/- 10% system: i believe this is not only a fair option and a potentially elecion-winning proposition, but a feasable one as this party will actually be able to keep victoria out of debt without having to rape the wallets of every victorian to do so.

moral of story = bring back jeff...

63 in a 60 zone is 5% over. So technically they are ok with that one.

LOL @ Chef_32

this shits me i mean yes i should have had my p's but i dont thinhk its worth 3 points

Not anywhere near as bad as 3 demerit points for dodgy number plates! I was fuming when that law got introduced. It is the icing on the revenue cake.

The other option you have as this is your first offence is to write to the transport authority and ask them to let you off.  If it is your first offence they most likely will.

This is a proven fact that has been covered in the media lately

This is true. I have seen it done. Write a letter stating how sorry and stupid you are bla blah and you should get off... It MUST be your first EVER offence.

im in cout atm for not having a front number plate copz it was stolen!!! but because it was my bday and i cbf reporting it, i get 3 pts and criminal record for protesting it to court....

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
