It's a camera that will register when you are at the Hospital and then again at the Monaro Hwy..... if you were not doing 80kms the whole way between the points, it will know, cos you got there too fast :happy: Then you get booked.

Its just going to make everyone super paranoid and drive at 70.. thus making the traffic problems worse in peak hour. It will also cause alot more road rage as there is nothing more frustrating than someone driving UNDER the posted speed limit infront of you

will also most likely increase accidents as everyone is paying attention to how fast they are going not the traffic around them.

Yeah it's vehicle recognition. It sees your car, remembers what it looks like, then picks it again at the next camera. It works out your average speed between the 2 points based on how far they are apart and how long it took you to get there, and books you if you exceeded the limit.

That being said, if it takes you 20 minutes to travel between them at the speed limit, you could stop for 10 minutes after passing the first one, then double the speed limit (160km/h in this case) the whole way there, and not get booked by this system.

True enough Troy lol. But they'll prob still have regular cops driving around :happy:

Yeh sounds in someways like a good idea, but in others, like something to create more issues.

Does the sydney toll roads work like this - the ones where you use etags etc... cos if it doesn't, surprised they've not implemented it already. They know when you enter, when you exit and how long it took between each point.

This sounds like a less than fun idea. Prob also is, say you average 3-5km's over, normally wouldn't get booked for that, but over the length of a long road, that saved a noticeable bit of time - they are gonna book you for that...

If it checks you at the Hospital then again at the Monaro Hwy you can just speed all the way then turn off before the next camera and take back roads... point to point average speed cameras only really work if there is no where to turn off between the cameras

Thus my point re the toll roads in sydney, they already register when you enter and exit.

But yeah does only work if there are no turn offs. But they could do it between two sets of intersections. EG parkway they could do one between lady denman drive and cotter road had they wanted to.

yup, or even sitting on 80km on that stretch where there's 3 lanes going from the hospital up the hill will be a PITA. If you don't use it much then you just just deal with it, but not every single fcking day... staring at your speedo all the way to work.

I'll probably go via the Monaro instead.

They are also doing this without fixed cameras in sydney or atleast talking about it. they mark a measured distance in the road and time you with someone in a plane overhead, so not only do you need to look out for cameras, you also need to be looking in the sky for the pricks with their stopwatches. although it is a big white line across the road so if you cross one slow down untill you cross another. i think it is being trialed on the F3 at the mo

I saw the signs for that last time was up sydney way.

... which is doing speed while ur speeding with speed stripes on ya car!

dont mind me, i get stupid when im bored. wait - no ones allowed to 'fix' that statement, or i'll get my mum on ya.

wait, what am i saying now!!!

damn it, dont push add reply....dam

Australia doesn't really have the population for this to work full time.

In the states they do it in remote areas like bumf**kville on the highways to catch the country drivers who go out there to.....enthusiastically drive their vehicles.

Anyway my point is SPEED KILLS!! OH WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE WHALES!

If I can't fix it can I repair it?

speed has never killed anyone. its the sudden stop that does it.

This is purely without a doubt just a revenue raiser. Even one of the top traffic camera office guys thinks it's shit.

Also what they have done is taken all of the money out of maintaining the existing red light speed camera program to get this point to point thing going... Cough cough, red light speed cameras at the moment are lacking maintenance...

at least i usually only travel past the point to point one in my van, which is lucky to do 70 up the hill.

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
