Speed cameras?? Robin Hood to the rescue!!!


Recommended Posts

If all they really want to do is slow people down and not generate revenue then surely it cant be illegal to warn others of the position of speed cameras because all you are doing is saving lives

i like ur thinkin!!

this thread is gold. The only ones i see around are on the freeway so far away from home cbf.

Around my area (Warrandyte South/Ringwood/Croydon Hills/Chirnside Park) there is a off-duty policeman that parks in multiple places around our area in a Holden Ute ( used to be red now its white) - someone said there just citizens, but thats not the case all the time!

I got done 12am saturday morning 63 in a 60 zone..............................

brilliant! very funny thread...

I miss the good old days when the cameras were those big blue boxes 10 metres out in front of the car and it was sooo easy to spot them... everyone would be flashing their lights ets... those sneaky dash mounted ones are bloody hard to spot if they are parked on the same side of the road as your driving...

i routinely see these traffic cars parked illegally on the footpath etc (eg Barkers rd in front of Carey on footpath).

We should start a 'mobile speed camera car' database - see em, snap em, post em :)

not a bad idea ronin..

re: the legality of warning people - they might try and pull some you're not allowed to advertise / post signs if you do not have something from the council to say you are allowed ? dont know if they could exactly fine you for it though

They're still blue, theyr'e still big (about the size of 2 large shoe boxes on top of each other), they're still deployed a few metres in front of the car (they toyed with nudge-bar mounted flashes but they were scrapped) and they're still FLASH UNITS, not cameras!

But, it isn't always used nowadays, if the light level is good why stick a flash out there?

Other than the tripod mount, which is almost never used, the camera has always been in the car and on the dash.

The company that runs the speed cameras is a private company, but must have the equipment pass stringent tests regularly *B ullshit!*

They're contractors to the government that's why they get revenue from who they catch

effectively a renta-mob

ive done the exact same thing before...

on nepean highway in aspendale.. and it was a magna aswell!!!!

it was probably about a year ago, on a satday afternoon and me and a mate saw him, so we went home and painted in big red letters 'speed camera ahead' on a piece of cement sheeting, then we snuck up and leant it on the car parked behind the magna...

then we sat up the street and watched the brake lights of the all passing cars go on!!!!

we were laughing for ages... im sooo glad i did it...

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • 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
