As the title suggests got my 1st speeding ticket - and i had a bet with my brother that i could go through my whole Ps without one... :P

Nice cop but way better than the way they treat you on the gold coast pulled me over i said good afternoon officer got booked for doing 79 in a 60 zone (I was in a really big rush) on limestone ave near the war memorial

said that he'll drop it down to under 15km so $133

Funny when I called dad up but to tell him, 1st thing he said - you have to go see magistrate? said no, reply was im doing better than him (used to own a nice fod coupe with a worked chev)

So thats that! and i can assure you that i learnt my lesson - now i have to wait till ANOTHER pay day to get the HICAS lock bar :(

I know someone that drove a new vehicle back from a capital city with a 7 day permit. Sped through every speed camera he could find just to frustrate the law!!! Vehicle was unregistered - with a 7 day permit - no number plates!!!! Bet the camera's took a lot of really nice photo's though.

Any of you guys responsible for this:

lol

^^ This is gold.

I got my first speeding ticket through the camera coming down through kurrajong on the bells line of road, just when they put the camera up (about 2 weeks later anywho). I opened the letter and laughed, rang the old man said "hey i got a speeding ticket", he mentioned something about going too fast and whatnot, then i mentioned "you have an envelope with exactly the same markings etc on it".

He managed to get done on the same day, just behind me (we were doing a convoy type thing to sydney).

Not a good feeling! Such a waste of money, and they are often on Limestone... you must have been in a rush!

Except I'll bet you were later in the end than you would have been had you not been pulled over...

yuuup you got that right, not undercover though so yeah just dumb!

i got fined on my P's and had my license suspended for 3 months... wasn't much fun either, it was during my HSC. in those days i couldn't afford a skyline though, and any P plater who can has too much money.

Im always "in a rush" on limestone so i better watch it! Bad luck buddy ;)

that would have shut him up! ;)

I drove around for about a week with no plates when i got my skyline... i didn't purposely speed thru any cameras...but the thought did cross my mind that they wouldnt be able to get me if I did ;)

Haha yeah i did the same, but i figured i'd be the dude with an unregistered maroon skyline flying thru all the speed cameras, then 2 weeks later i'd be the only dude registering a maroon skyline, and somehow it would get back to me.

Very unlikely to happen, but still.

~200 rwkw for a < 20 year old is scary.

Unless you grew up karting or something...

oh i can tell you that I have learnt my lesson from a few close ones, lets just say im carfull when putting down the put - especially with how scared mum is! funniest thing is that my younger brother's nicknamed the car "the widow maker" shes goes off like no tomorrow

If it makes u feel better i got done doing 100 across dairy flat yesterday , they got with a gun on the side on the road , it was the 4th speed trap i had been through within an hour , but i was doing the wrong thing and the cop were good about it , only took them 2 minutes to give me the ticket

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
