So, anyone else get done?

Apparently it was in a 50 zone.

I saw the camera, checked my speed, and thought... "just over 60, no worries!"

64 in a 50 zone, $149 and 1 point.

I did the crime, I'll do the time and pay the fine.

4 roads meet that roundabout, three out of four are 60 km/hr zones.

I knew this for a fact, so I assumed about the 4th... I was wrong.

As they say, assumption is the mother of all F uckups!

Might be my paranoia but it sounds a bit coincidental to put a speed camera on that road on the day of the dyno day.

Lucky for me I rocked up to Jazmac on the Saturday before coz I got my dates completely wrong - busy at work is my excuse! :D I then forgot all about going on the right day!! :Oops:

I remeber a dyno day a while back at Morpowa, there was a speed camera jsut around the corner as everyone was leaving, luckily someone called and everyone took it easy

Nit hard for the cops to read the forums and plan many weeks in advance where to put speed camera's

I am waiting for the day they rock up to a dyno day and start filling out defect notices.......

yeah I hope we weren't doing the same speed and the letters are in the mail :)

Chris32: The cops were informed by JAZMAC that there was going to be a dyno day there, many weeks in advance - so there is NO WAY it could be a coincidence. Yet another we shouldn't ever share details of our activities with the fuzz.

My 2c: 50km/h speed limits are just flat out useless, especially in a semi-industrial area like this one was. Where is the proof that the 50km/h change has had any effect on the road toll? /end rant.

I agree, you try and co-operate with them, and they turn around and screw you over, and the cops wonder why they don't have much respect from modded car owners.

Did anyone see in the latest Autosalon mag, those guys went to a track day and there where cops in the pits taking details of all the road registerd cars - its getting beyond a joke, and one day, mark my words, there will be a undercover cops at a dyno day doing the same thing. Maybe this has already happend - who knows???

Same goes for drift days, I am sure there are more than a few swine at these events, and its only going to get worse

TOTAL :bs!:

surely you guys in SA don't have it as bad as us Victorians??.. we have become ammune to the cops, the State "Labour" Goverment and the EPA screwing import owners. However the results of a community backlash (not just the "Hoons") against mainly the cops and the State Gov, seem to be showing as more and more speak up.

sorry for ya chop

andy, the proofs have been established in the UK; 50kph is a load of crap, caused more accidents and give the police force a pay rise! The 50kph limit has been retracted in the UK or so I've been told by the media :)

There is no common sense when it comes to speed limit these days. It's a joke to see

-50kph on Days Road, Regency

-60kph on Port Road and Anzac Highway

..just to name a few of my daily frustrations.

There were so much BS from the government and media before the 50kph legislation. Do you guys recall the "think about the impact campaign on TV" where it showed the breaking distance and rear end collision speed of 2 old ?Falcons. The one with the first car breaking distance at 60kph and the second car breaking distance at 70kph and the rear end collision. This was a load of crap. What it fails to show media is if the second car was to travelled at 60kph the accident still happen because the second car will take the same distance to stop. Therefore the front of the second car will stop by the time it reaches the front of the 1st car. Now the first car occupy the last bit of the stopping distance of the second car the accident is designed to occurr....bloody politicians!!!

Oh and the other one where 2 cars travelled 50 and 60kph and got to a destination in the same amount of time DURING PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC IN THE CITY :thumbsup:

My motto has always been, reduce braking distance will reduce laccident. Braking distance can be reduced by lowering car tax, brake/tyres taxes and better road condition.

Is there any politician onboard :)

My theory is the oil companies are behind the 50km/h speed limits, as it has seen my fuel consumption go up by almost 10L per week. I now drive in 3rd or 4th at 50km/h, when it was 60 I could cruise in 5th no probs - 50km/h in 5th make the car not happy :)

So in theory I use a extra 520L a year, which can only be good for the government and the oil companies. I am sure the extra strain on the environment will be seen in years to come as well

If I get dragged away into a van by dudes in black suits, you know my theory is correct :cheers:

mesh: The difference between sa and vic.

We can get pulled over for no reason at all and be defected. Everywhere else in AUS, u have to do somethin illegal before u can be pulled over.

You reckon?? That's not the case here in Victoria, all the cops have to say is "This is a routine check", and that's good enough a reason.

    • Driveability will be about the same with either externally venting BOV, or no BOV at all. Perhaps worse one way than the other, with me thinking that the definitely more flow going through the AFM through a venting BOV more likely to cause rich stalls than the perhaps more flow that the AFM might read on reversion. There is no such thing as "turbo damage" from not having a BOV at stock, or even quite a lot higher than stock, power levels. You need a big turbo with a lot of mass spinning hard getting a horrible slowdown from a slammed shut throttle before there is anything like the shaft loads required to damage things. Not an issue on small turbos. The ONLY 2 reasons that Nissan put a recirc valve onto the RB were: It is a bypass valve. It is open when under vacuum. When not on boost, it bypasses intake air forward around the compressor, which unloads the compressor, allowing the turbine to sping more freely, making the whole lot a bit more efficient when just puddling around. Throttle response should also be faster via the shorter, smaller diameter BOV pipe (when in NA, ie before the BOV closes and boost is building) which is nicer for driveability. Emissions. The reversion causes CO pulses. Eliminate the reversion (or at least, keep it away from the AFM) and you don't get that. The stalling/driveability aspect could have been tuned around, as shown one example of by dose above, if Nissan hadn't put a recirc valve on. Many many turbo engines before the RB had no BOV. They did not stall. See the RB30 turbo as an example. Nistune is definitely better than just stock ECU. It allows you to access and change things that are not excellent on the stock setup, and allows you to do mods like put decent injectors in, relocate the AFM, put a bigger turbo or even cams, etc, on, change to coil swith completely different swell needs, etc etc. All the things that you might need or want to do 25 years after the car was new. Aftermarket replacement ECU is obviously better again, because it gives you even more freedom from the constraints of the stock ECU. I won't be needing to go any further than Nistune though, for the new turbo in the 250ish rwkW region I'm going to, with big injectors, and most other things being stockish.
    • Lucky the prp block is supposed to be released next weekend 
    • Wow guys thank you very much for the HUGE info :-) @GTSBoy I have like 30 minutes if test drive with that car/engine and it not stalled once. IMO it ran very smooth so i guess it was not that bad(but asi i said it is stock) That atmo BoV is worse than no BoV or in my case or it is/will be the same? Cuz frankly i rather have little whooosh sound than that sututu 😄 But either way the less harmfull for engine/turbo the better(if the stock is not an option right away) Yeah about that rebuild i talk with guy who will be doing swap and custom pipes...i think i can get stock BoV or get aftermarket which will function the same. Yeah i looked at that R35 option and i try ask my mechanic more about that if he knows. The engine has stock ECU but i can get Nistune for it. On that stock it runs quite well...but i have limited time with it so rly dont know. Ecumaster is this https://www.ecumaster.com/  It is not some dodgy backyard ECU :-)  @MBS206 Yeah but it will be better to have Nistune than the completely stock ECU no? About that "same" atmo/no BoV. The drivebility would be the same? I dont know but i kinda guess that amto BoV would cause more problems than no BoV in my case? Or is the same? You just "change" one sound for the other? Yeah i read many many many topic about hurting the turbo. But no one know anybody that would 100% tell that his turbo/engine blows/get damaged by not running BoV. Of course turbo would be little happier IMO if it has BoV ..but if you do not trash i think i should be good. And as you can see iam already trying to get this right...just working what i have right now :-) Yeah iam kinda the same...i dont want nothing loud and frankly iam not liking that sututu noise that much 😄 i rather have little bit of "whooosh" or no sound at all. Of course in my case it si a completely another world when you came tu Turbo car with open air box and no BoV and you driving the N/A ...all i hear is engine. Here? I heard turbo/sucking and that sututu 😄 @Yeetus So in my case it is really no difference to run no BoV or some atmo BoV like GReddy FV2? The car would drive the same and has "the same" little problems? As i wrote above i kinda thinked that atmo BoV with stock MAF would cause more problems...but then again i dont know much about no BoV either :-)  So to avoid stalling i "cant" just put neutral on stop lights like from higher rpm? Or? Yeah iam already looking for ECU :-)  Yes iam at the same side with thar R35 MAF :-)  @Dose Pipe Sutututu Thank you i (my mechanic/tuner) will look into that) Guess iam taking the Nistune at least :-) 
    • Here's the workaround with Nistune I was talking about, just add in more timing on the decel table And play around with the fuel cut & recovery, it's enough to stop it from stalling on a decel
