So if I was to ride around on a Harley with its 20000000dB exhaust, and getting caught, can I spit in their face and ride off knowing they have no right to fine me since it "came like this from the factory"?

See how this just isn't gonna work?

Valid point... although one Harley will fall under the required decibel limit, 20 or so cruising past is a different story... an issue I’ve discussed wit a few of the guys at my work (I work for Harley-Davidson Australia). Well some of the older models might not fall within the required sound limit, the new ones do however.

It is definitely a system that could be abused if it was to be implemented and nothing more than a desperate bid for the govt to line their pockets with more of our hard earned cash for no reason. There seems to be no supporting evidence that this would in anyway prevent or reduce road fatalities or road rage. There is no supporting evidence for that matter that noise would in anyway contribute to above excitable levels of emissions.

I hope this never comes into fruition, it’s a farce and a massive joke.

If this happens, I reckon we should just go buy a whole bunch of cheap-shit speakers from Jaycar and aim them at the sound meters.

If the system pings every motorist that passes (or even when no vehicle passes) then the government isn't going to be able to issue the the infringements.

Just get gear cheap enough that you're not going to care about losing it when the uniformed tax collectors inevitably come and take it away.

well obviously this camera wont work during peak hour >_> for 1 theres about 300 thousand cars on the road at once. 2. theyll run out of tickets in about the first 5 mins of peak hr. 3. ive got spare speakers... someone give me a cheap dvd player and ill hook it up outside one of these cameras.

ill even design a solar panel for my speakers so it cna last through out the day >_>

next thing u know theyll ban winding ur windows down because possibly hazardous projectiles could hit u and cause u to crash... or force u to buy govt issue cars of 1 vehicle and make every single person in australia to drive the same damed vehical....

In a situation where a road may be two, three or more lanes wide, where there will often be cars travelling next to each other, how exactly will this camera distiguish which car the sound is coming from?

That is most likely one of the cameras which detect stolen/unregistered cars

There is such a camera.That would mean that the camera has to take the plate and file it all on it's own.Do they have such a thing?

whats to stop someone with a handheld air horn honking as every car went past...

:P

      I'm going to slap an old nismo logo sticker on my spare one and sell it to the land of the free for a thousand bucks

      Well - they have arrived.  And they are easy on the eye to put it mildly... These only have three bolts - but for a start there is a key that fits with vacuum like precision..  And as you can see by my ruler, the interface is large..   I listened to a podcast on HP Academy about Dan (KiwiCNC) and I'm more than comfortable he knows what he is doing. R35 Bearing assembly should arrive later today so can mock that up for a look. Can't wait to get these on and get some brake pressure logging too. IMG_3860.MP4

      I would be very confident that they are the same parts (the 2 different SKUs). It seems very clear that you can drop the cam in the 2-way opening, or in the other opening. If you arrange it in the other opening in the same way that you see any other 1-way diff, ie, with the flat of the cam up against the 1° side of the opening, then it would work as a 1-way. It can only spread the ramps when driving forwards - cannot spread the ramps on overrun. It would then appear obvious that if you put the cam into the opening "backwards", that you would get the angled flats of the cam working onto the "points" of the 1° side of the opening, which would give you ramp spread in both loading directions. I do wonder if the forward direction of the 1.5-way config is equivalent to the forward direction of the 2-way, seeing as the cams are flipped and the angled surfaces on those would need to be the same on each side - AND - clearly when installed in either the 2-way or 1-1ay configuration they are not intended to work exactly the same (the ramp angles on the 2-way are 10° different between forward and backward, and the ramp doesn't exist in the 1-way config). 'twere me, I think I would rather actually have a set of rings that offered the 2-way with two different sets of ramp angles, say the 55/45 of the existing design and maybe a 45/37.5 combo for a less aggressive effect), AND another set of rings with a dedicated 1.5-way opening and a dedicated 1-way opening. The 1.5-way opening would actually have the steeper angle on the overdrive side that causes it to be less pushy than the forward drive angle, like you see in many other diffs. But really - if this Nismo thing is thought out properly and all those surfaces work on each other the way that they need to, who am I to argue?
