Well much to my shock, never seen this before however in the last week I have noticed a fair bit of police activity on the fwy, much of them pulling over cars between Russell road and Armadale Road. North and Southbound.

I was traveling across the Russell road bridge that goes over the fwy about 30 minutes ago and spotted a police bike who had pulled up on the walking path for the bridge/overpass, over the southbound lane with a radar gun and a hand radio. Pin pointing cars that were speeding down the fwy to another officer was sitting behind the bridge on the fwy, hidden on his bike waiting for the speeding motorist.

so be warned approaching overpasses from now on. Especially on that bit after Armadale road, because of all the crap traffic thats where it frees up and most motorists nail it down there in frustration of all the traffic soup they just sat in til Roe hwy. Not many peeps do 100 down there.

Yeah you see them doing it all the time where the graeme farmer hits the mitchell.

Another favourite is the tonkin hwy heading south after forrest rd. Same thing, traffic frees up, people nail it, cops are waiting.

At the end of the day, dont speed, and its not an issue

Yeh yeh yeh, our police force is corrupt and our government is shite and taking us for all we've got, I know the charade.

Seriously. Get out of Australia once every so while, go and see how fkn good we have it here. People have nothing to do but whinge these days.

agreed! :yes: it's pretty good here definitely...comparing to alot of other countries. I would know, I'm from South East Asia, all cops there are just asking for bribes.

its all relevant. . .if WA cops went to Bali to do policing they would have a meltdown, scooters overtaking on the left of cars in the left lane and all sorts of things that would get you a ticket quicker than you could blink if it happened here and you know what?it all works!saw no examples of road rage, no speed cameras/radars , no cops hiding behind bushes ready to pounce on a motorist doing 2ks over the speed limit

dont they have to show u the radar to confirm the speed you were going otherwise they could just bullshit and do what they like?

ive been shown the reading on the radar by the cops and as i pointed out to him "that could of been there since yesterday"

Not if ur parents are rich government officials themselves, copper would know better to piss off the higher ups...

And indonesia has a road toll of approx 28 000 deaths a year, compared to our ~350 a year.....

Population differences...congestion, infrastructure, density....

plus narrow/uneven roads, didnt see one prang on the road, altho i didnt drive in indonesia at all i felt safer on the roads there than i do here

I spent 10 days in China, saw 1 woman fall off a moped in that time,

it doesnt change the fact that the chinese kill over 100 000 people a year on the road, and seriously injure around half a million per year. And this is in a counrty where less than 30% of the population has access to personal transport.

My point is, comparing Australian roads to any other country (especially asian one) is stupid.

How is it stupid? an australian came off his scooter in bali today and died, is that the roads fault?

... Possibly? Lol. If he drove into one of the many pot-holes they have, then yes, I'd say that was a fault in the road. If not then obviously not, but I don't see what exactly him being Australian has to do with anything?

hmm... when i got my only speeding fine a couple years ago *touch wood* the officer told me i was going 20km over the speed limit but i asked to see the radar i was only going 12km over.. it had my plates on it i think??

always keep in mind the po po have the upper hand! if they cant ping you for speeding they will yellow sticker you for empty washer bottle or worn windscreen wiper blades!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
