There was supposed to be some getting set up on the M4 west of sydney around May this year for a 1 month trial where ofenders were issued a warning during the first month and then straight into full use.

I can only guess that it never happened because i would definately have received something by now.

Nah, he'd probably just be involved in a crash caused by one of the numerous other, almost un-enforced dangers of driving, or by someone who is either too busy watching their speedo to notice traffic, or is of the growing-in-popularity mentality that if they're not speeding, nothing can happen to them.

Isn't Victoria's road toll the highest in years, despite having harsher than ever speed enforcement?

those cameras that monitors the time and speed of trucks on the highways.

It will be used on cars soon also.  

:chop:

You mean those SAFE-T-CAM things??

i remember one of the first times i did a long trip, i had no idea what they were so i slowed to the speed limit thru each one...realised later they were for trucks :Oops:

another dumb idea about making money. imagine if you dont have cruise control... or even with it...high stress freeway driving!

*oh no i am going 125 instead of 110 down this hill, better brake suddenly and cause a 40 car pileup because all the mums in falcons behind me are tailgating*

every time i have driven along the m4 during the day i have been tailgated, never by p platers majority of the time by females in large sedans. scary.

yep - those things, but now for cars. I usually stick my fingers up when i drive though just to let them know that im awake.

wouldnt this be an infringment on the privacy laws ?

The Point to Point speed cameras are already on the M4 in sydney between the cumberland Highway overpass and the bridge that goes over church street. They arent very easy to spot though, on the cumberalnd highway overpass, they are almost tucked up under the advertisement sign on the bridge, as you approach look up, your on camera :). they look like the digital cameras in the bottom pic of the below link. The second set of cameras is on the existing safe-t-cam and variable speed limit sign framework just on the beginning of the bridge over church street. As the site mentions the cameras are only on the eastbound route. Theyve been very tricky about installing these cameras and hiding them, and legally they need not add extra signage drawing attention to them as they use the speed camera warning signs for the cumberland overpass speed cameras to cover their asses (hence only eastbound). They really didnt want anyone knowing what they were up to till its too late, as the website states they will be activated ~june 2005.

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
