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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
