On Sunday night I was heading back home on Bourke Rd and there was a mobile speed camera located on a reasonably steep hill. I was doing around 63 and the speed limit was 60, I was not even on the gas simply just rolling down and I got done. Anyway I got out of the car and took photos of the whole scene and even got the video camera out (heading back from autosalon :) ) the guy got out and was pretty irritated by this and began to call his superior. Anyway I was told that they can not book you for speeding when you are coming down on a hill. Is this true? If so I will be contesting.

If the camera was positioned at the bottom of the hill then I dont think they are supposed to set up there... not sure if they're allowed to or not. but they could always argue that's what the brake pedal is for :) bit harsh... getting done for doing 63 in a 60 zone though..

Yeah I was lead to believe that they can't do it on a hill either - but as per usual they put them there because they know 99.99% of people wont bother arguing the case and there is a better chance of getting more people.

I understand that the code of practice for speed camera and radar units states they should not be used in certain locations such as hills. Getting the actual document will be the issue but fight it anyway. A good lawyer will make your case and hopefully obtain costs.

The website is www.roadsense.com.au and I understand they can park on the nature strip under the road traffic act. Another corrupt double standarrd and hopefully you bloody vics will vote the prick out at the next state election. Labor ALWAYS overspend the rape the electorate. Just bloody dumb

Take it to court mate as that is ***ing bullshit!!

Hope you got video of the operator driving off coz that will look quite funny when shown in court.

A simple letter back if you get sent a speeding fine stating all the facts and that you have video and pictures will usually see them drop the fine.

They rely on 99% of people not bothering to dispute it and just paying the fine even tho they could get out of it easily, so dispute it and be the other 1% :D

What you do, see a camera on the side of the road. Park in front of it, lock the car and walk off. He cant tell you to move. If he wants to he can move...

Hate those wanks. Everytime i drive past one i give the operator a 1 finger salute.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
