I'm at the the lights at I think brunswick st just at the end of the eastern freeway. Some shitty old stationwagon volvo was reving and giving all the signs of wanting to race. I laughed and when the light went green putted away while he screamed off (cough laugh choke). Anyway I saw a red light camera and thought something was a bit odd about it, I have recently heard that some redlight cameras are now speed cameras too. Anyway this volvo zipped off at around 70 and I hung back doing the speed limit, as he went through the intersection. FLASH! So heads up, I know the lights on springvale and highstreet rd have a speed camera, so here is the second one. I believe there are currently 4 in victoria! :/

There are about 3 sets of speed/redlight camera's on alexander parade, 3 in bound, 3 out bound. They've been there for at least 2 years now. The one on higtstreet road and springvale road is NOT a speed camera, it is an updated red light camera. There are 2 different sets of speed limits that intersect there, one is 60 the other 70. The way to tell for future refrence is look for a large cyclinder on a pole or the side of a camera, thats the radar.

There are far more that 4 in victoria, there's at least 2 where mountain hwy meets boronia road.

Plenty of intersections have these now. Dandeong Rd on cnr of Orrong is another example.

They look like this:

If you run a red - they get you.

If you speed through on green or yellow - they get you.

If you speed through red - they get you twice.

welcome to a long time ago.. jeebz, half of those were up a couple of years even before I left!

I've noticed the victorian road toll is also pretty much exactly the same as it was about 4 years ago too, they government just has a lot of money to show for it..

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
