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

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 :/

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
