Sh1t.. When did that change? What happens to all the small business owners with fleet cars out on the road? Do they have to take the points if they can't work out which one of their workers was driving the car? What happened to innocent until proven guilty? So they don't car who was driving - they just want the $ obviously...

Yet another reason for me to say Perth laws are a maggot on the polished turd called our freedom here in Oz.. You can't do anything in this town without some idiot telling you how to do it "safely".  

For example - my gf wasn't allowed to take 10 bricks she bought from a brickyard unless she tied a rope in front of them so they couldn't slide forward and covered them. So she put a piece of nylon in front and a tshirt over the bricks. How the f*k is that safe? Why should someone be telling her how to do transport 10 bricks? Apparently it's a law in Perth?

f*kin stupid F*kers... We're all being brainwashed. Perth will be a true old person's retirement town within the next 10 years. Mark my words!

So true.

mmm sounds like the ones have have in victoria. Although they are even more sneaky, can be any type of car parked on the side of the road, claped out bomb, commodore, even see a hz ute with the camera gear on it. they are really easy to pick on major roads though... oh let me see car parked in emergency lane, slow down to have a look.... what this black bar on the front. ahh camera.

Good thing is you can actually see these camera cars instead of the mulitnovas on the highways. gives you more time to slow down.

Yeh too true, i always slow down for emergency lane ppl. Ever since i was drving along and some ****tard in teh emergency lane figures that he/she will pull out into the left lane before gathering momentum, which im sure we all know is downright stupid. Indicator goes on and u have a car doing 20kmhr 50m ahead, do the math.

The one i saw over east was on a hyundai softroader

multinova cameras use only a 35mm lens so to get you clearly you need to be within 50mt of it to register that you are speeding then when you get within 20 mt it will then take your happy pic but if you have seen the camera in time and apply the brakes then it can not get a clear and accurate reading as it needs to take 3 pics of the car and all 3 pics must have the same speed recorded on it....

with the 3 lanes thing it still works but not as effectively which is why from time to time you will see the cameras on the other side of the road

i just came across one of these new cameras today on Albany Hwy.. was fixed on the roof of a police car parked on the verge..  

no signs at all tho

Saw that one too, your right was no signs :D lucky the car in front was going like 40km or else i would have got done

Remember people, they are in WA to SAVE LIVES!!!!!!!!

(which is why a very big majority of them are used where there is very unlikely to be a fatal accident, let alone an accident).

Just too bad that they resort to sneak tactics yet again to raise even more money, but it is just a thing we will have to get used to I'm afraid.

Call it fascist if u will but ppl still accept it as commonplace, nobody has a big enough petition yet to do anything about it. Remember these laws are passed through the house of reps and they represent us....... hmm but who pays their wages? ;) bit of conflict of interest there eh. All the fines go to their soft dollar benefits, mmmm sheep skin chairs.

I really dont see a problem with this kinda thing, its the game we play when we break the road rules. Trouble is i reckon this kind of action makes citizens disrespect the law and therefore it enforcers. "Its all about respect right, u respect me and ill respect u" :P thats falling apart.

Still next time i see one ill grill the cops for what its about, they generally dont mind having a chat.

I think you have to be doing well over 300kmh for this to happen... maybe they are just really slow with sending the fines out. It took 4 months before I got one once

yeah, me and some friends have done the maths before and it came out that you have to be going the speed of sound for it to miss you or to get blured.

it's called "duty of care laws" thanks to those ****ing idiot lawyers who devise never ending money spinning laws to fill their pockets with.

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
