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.

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
