My mate actually had something similar in his 260Z.... was a LCD set up controlled in cabin... could change the plates to any combination you wanted in a second..... hence to say he had the setup imported, got away with it for quite a few years then got caught and slapped with over 8 grand in fines etc...loss of license for 3 years.... Stupid thing was after he went to court etc .... the police handed them back to him :P

Lol i was reading some replies to the video that said exactly that. Huge fines if caught also the bull run stickers on a gallardo you don't really need plates to be recognised

there is also a product in the states which covers the plates with a highly reflective chemical which bounces the flash from camera and doesn't show the plates in the photo. The chemical itself is invisible to humans. Apparently things like hair spray can have same effect, but not quite as good.

Lol... yeah the whole sticker thing kinda defeats the purpose!

you do realise, all they have to do is increase the contrast on the photos and they'd own your ass

Hair spray and all that crap doesnt work, not sure about what the OP's vid is using.

Mythbusters did a special on speed cameras in S5 S4 - Speed Cameras.

The only way the could avoid a ticket was..

Even the lambo didnt beat the camera lol

actually there is a stuff that wokrs, have been using it for years on my bikes and cars, it's a specailty thing from the US. It is only found in FEW Specialty stores. It has 3d prisim glass particles in it, you can feel the in the paint. When you spray it on, these seam to line up somehow while the paint dries and is fine, looks ok when dry, possibly a bit dull and not as reflective.

BUT when a flash hits the paint, it goes bazerk, you simply can not read the plate. I have not had a fine ever. I wish i had a pic of teh bike with the phot of teh plates.

UNFORTUNATLY, the bike is recently sold, and the car has new plates, so i need some more.

it's that translucent electric glass stuff

not bad..

yeah, it's like the rear view mirror in my soarer which is some kind of LCD. at the touch of a button it goes dark electrically. same kind of effect actually.

Another idea is to use the material in welding helmets that goes dark when a flash hits it. I tried this myself by placing a newspaper behind the window and then taking a flash picture. The material reacts fast enough that you cannot read what's behind the glass. Downsides are:

* I haven't seen these panels large enough to cover a plate

* Only works if the camera flashes (i.e. night)

There is a guy in the u.s. that has a site and makes them but he is slow at producing apparently accrding to his site. On the upside he makes them for australian plates too. obviously for those who want something cool at autosalon right guys? right? cough*

The only place i can see myself using this is on my commonwhore not paying for the lane cove tunnell. Theres my political statement

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
