Has anyone ever seen a red light camera on the intersection of hoddle and johnston street collingwood?

Thanks to this camera that i have never seen in my whole 2 years of driving through their every day and morning i have lost my license!!!

Their are CAMERAS everywhere and they are WORKING now!, just driving down johnston street tonight the speed camera in a 40 zone flashed about 5 times in 10 second delays getting people who probably arent aware of the 40 speed limit

Its seriously becoming un drivable on these roads these days

:(

damn man...

40 feels so slow, i know, but thats the speed limit... what are ya ganna do :(

what speed were you doing, and how long are you suspended?

the 40 zones seem to be special, soooo many people don't do the limit. when i slow down to 40 in school zones etc. people crowd up behind me and get pissed off as if i'm doing something wrong

yeah i got done for the red light offence no speeding fine, it clocked me 1.2 seconds through the red, and i lose ****ING 3 demerit points FOR 1.2 SECONDS OF RED LIGHT and the intersection is massive, im definately going to look at the photo!, and ive been taking that same way for 2 years every day and night and i have never EVER seen a camera at that intersection

and the speed camera on johnston street is 2km up from that intersection so it wasnt that camera. I always follow the speed limit, but this 3 point demerit sucker has ****ed me, i lost 3 demerit points on a Great ocean road cruise about 3 months ago, and now this, 3 months suspension or 12 months good behaviour

i feel like crying

Let em go around. Gotta look after yourself.

I just hope there wasn't a camera on Hoddle at Albert when I saw the Nismoid run a red at 2:40 this afternoon :(

[edit]J/K He was good. Hoddle is the worst piec of traffic in the country IMO

i agree, those mother ****ing revenue rasing ****s should all die! whose with me, lets gather on a cruise and burn all the cameras to the ground and give those loyal corrupt police the ashes for them to snort up on the side of their corrupt dunny bowls so they can continue to pull us people over for no reason, other than that of to serve us with a ban / ticket / fine! its a load of bullshit that should be stamped out!!!! they should all die along with the filthy hippies on the street!

Yeah well u always have time to slow for a yellow, but in peak hour traffic 5pm in the arvo ur not exactly going to hit the brakes, well now i definately am :(

I was 1.2 seconds too slow to get over the stop line, and its costed me 3 points my license and a $200 fine.

with red light cameras

they don't activate unless u ENTER the intersection when its red

if it changes to red AFTER you have crossed the stop line (at the start of the intersection), then you've run a red and will pay.

there will be 2 photos, one showing you entering the intersection when the lights when red, and one slightly later showing you cross the intersection.

unless you enter the intersection before it changes red, or didn't cross the intersection (say u crept forward too far waiting), then you can't get off on the photo.

the other defense is "self preservation", if you plead this in court, the prosection case changes to having to prove that you had time to stop safely (if someone was following you wayy to close and follows you through the red, then you can use this to get off)

Couldnt agree with you more. I was cruising past a school the other day (not school times) and a cop was sitting in the driveway lasering everone going past. I slowed to 50km/h - he put his lights on and followed me home. $135 and a couple of pointt later for not knowing it was a 40 zone shesh. I realise this is the rule but it was like 6pm and no visible traffic in site. If i was going more than 50km/h then yeah fine but cmon be reasonable vic police....What can you do :rant:

i drive up johnstone at least twice a week. been noticing the flashing cameras go off quite a lot.

mostly people turning right (north) onto hoddle, through a red arrow.

but what worrying me most is the combo camera, further up, but before smith street. been flashing too frequently. i was stopped at the lights, guy in front wants to turn right, so i creep into the far left, behind anohter car.

the lights go green, the lights flash as we both pull off. im lucky to be doing 20km, as it flashes the 2nd time. mind you im stuck behind the 1st car.

realising it couldnt be red light, speed, was wondering if it was bus lane rules, but this was 6pm heading into the city. on my way back, checked again, as i know there is a bus lane rule, but didnt see any sign.

has got me upset about that road. like i said, the light seems to be flashing a hell of a lot, mind you i saw a guy fridya night hit the breaks hard through a green, as the light flashed. guess he was exceeding 40km.

but as for running reds, that is just purely stupid. there are people who time the lights, to pick a nice launch when it hits green. thats when you get things RIGHT ANGLED.

is it a permanent 40 zone or a timed 40 zone?

and if its not signed then simply tell them to *** off

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?

      Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.
