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.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
