The speed limit advisory group will review the guidelines governing the introduction of 40km/h and 50km/h zones, due to concerns which have been raised over frequent changes in speed zones.

If you've got any input you want to share, go to the Arrive Alive website and leave some feedback.

Do I smell an election? :)

Looking for ways to make us happy/buy some votes!

I was stunned one day to find the main road from my place had the speed changed from 40 to 60!!!! Now its just 40 in school times (fair enough)

It was almost impossible to do 40 along that road, and there were speed cameras there nabbing every second driver a few times a week. Pure revenue raising.

Maybe now they'll listen, now that its in their interest!

I live on an enclosed COURT that's just over 100m long it's a 40 zone because it's bounded by a school. if you did anything more than 40 on my street then you'd be asking for trouble in the first place.

how the hell can they enforce the speed limit on a 100m long court anyway? will a cop sit up the end with a radar gun? :D

The recent speed limit changes are too confusing and it is not always obvious what speed you should be travelling at.

I often find myself guessing some of the time as its 40km/h then 50km/h then 60k/h then 40km/h all in the stretch of a few km's or so.

In Mt Alexander rd (Moonee Ponds, VIC) where it is enforced to a lower speed when the digital signs change to 40km/h (after 7pm Wed-Sun) the majority of motorists ignore it and tailgate very closely. Some make dangerous manoeuvres around your vehicle travelling at the imposed 40km/h limit possibly making it even more dangerous for pedestrians and/or parked cars.

So you either speed up to avoid them rear-ending you (in the event of emergency stop) or stay just below 40km/h and accept road rage from motorists who

a) Don't notice the speed change

B) Don't care about the speed change and travel at 60km/h anyway

I guess they feel their speed is safe and disregard the "digital speed system".

I cant see how anyone can complain about having to go 40 outside of a primary school. I think its a great idea.

But then again I dont live near any zones that change to 40 that arent around a school.

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
