school is not out

Today and yesterday are pupil free days as per your link, technically part of the term and kids can show up if the parents dont have another option. You can see why a motorist without kids could hear friends & family talking about kids being on holidays and get done.

You had valid arguments until you said this. Making accusations of corruption is not just wrong, it is illegal and slander.[/size]

It's a proven fact;

Read a news paper and you will find all the information, back handers from construction company's, churches, schools and houses built without planning approvals, its common knowledge, although Rockdale council is up there for being dodgey as well.

fair call, although if there's flashing lights, there shouldn't be an excuse. my partner and i thought it was holidays, came up to a zone with flashing lights, i hit the internet up from the passenger seat and bam, yep, better slow down.

amusingly enough, the cops haven't been in their usual spots around school zones (i'm coming from liverpool into the city along canterbury road, so there's a LOT of zones)...

I'm glad you have flashing lights. Most of Wollongong doesn't.

But then again, these school zones are just destroying the whole idea of natural selection (that's a joke you uptight people!!!)

Yeah, years ago on a small country road between the massive intersection (Bowral, Moss Vale and Robertson) and Fitzroy Falls here there was a small school that couldn't have had more than 20 kids at it... THEY had flashing lights, but TIGS didn't. MONEY MAKER THEY'RE OUT FOR OUR MONEY

for the most part, i think its been a long time since I've seen a zone without lights.

You mustn't venture far from Sydney then.

Edit: far from the few schools in Sydney that have them that is.

I don't come through Syd as much as people that live there, but I spot heaps of school zones without the flashing lights.

I drive from West - North Sydney and back every day.

It's prob's cause i only see school's on main roads. I'd guess there is less of an importance to get flashing lights in backstreet schools.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
