2:06pm yesterday westbound along the M4 all the way to Northern Rd...

Highway Patrol Copper turning on siren/lights at every single lane hog in lane 3, and herding them back into lane 2.

From behind, us motorists could read the moving text saying, "Keep Left Unless Passing"

What a sight for sore eyes!

Good on him!

I commute on the M4 everyday & the amount of dopey dawdlers I see in lane 3 is shocking, I don't even speed & they slowly disappear in my mirrors. Little wonder there's so much traffic.

That & everyone goes derp & bottlenecks at the joining lanes

Need more of those police on the motorways. Was doing 80 km/h in the right lane this evening stuck behind a big line of cars. What a joke.

PJ and Ravi, he would have turned his siren/lights on 5x in that 20Km+ stretch - 1 car behind me and 4 in front.

About six of us drivers stayed some ways back but keeping pace due to our inquisitiveness.

I hope this is a directive from a superintendent so there's more of this to come!

Unfortunately half the cars on the road have inaccurate speedo's reading high by 10kph, added to the flat bald tyres they likely have and the speedo could be out by 15%.

Sometimes they actually think they are doing the speed limit.

Don't get me started on your stupid NSW P plate laws... :P

And this especially

Don't get me started on your stupid NSW P plate laws... :P

I was reading a drive review of 2 Porsches, a GT3 and a 911 turbo... both out by up to 6km/h under at 100... pretty exxy cars for just poor accuracy. . Pos daily will have no chance

I have a Subaru so at indicated 100 km/h it be 92-93 on standard tyres lol. Went slightly larger tyre, now about 5km/h slower than indicated, now like the the rest of the cars on the road.

It seems like most car speedos are 5 km/h faster than actual. Funnily enough, Commodores seem to have the most accurate speedos HAHA.

And this is why they tend to do 2 or 3 kph less than the truck can do.

Makes for a long overtake when I try and pass

I had 3 cars and all of them were different, all slower than the limit, going off the GPS/ I knew they were usually under the speedo reading, but by how much ??

I wondered why a couple of time before I had the GPS why I did not get book when I got sprung at 120 in a 110 , put the on a GPS and found out I was doing 110 when the speedo said I was 120, I was a good boy but did not know it :)

Now I am happy doing the speed limit because most others are going slower, sort of worrying :/

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
