yo guys

just a quick question

some of the intersections have Redlight and Speed cameras

so if u run a red light & speeding...u get pinged for the red light PLUS coping the speeding fine

but what if you just speed through a greenlight?

will you get pinged for speeding? or will it only ping you if u run the red light and speeding at the same time

coz i got flashed (at night) speeding through a greenlight...

I wasn't aware that red light camera's could book you for speed. My understanding was that they are specifically calibrated for detecting red light runners, and speed camera's specifically for speed. With all the legalities and controversy over camera's not being correctly set up or working properly etc. I don't know if they would risk getting one camera to do both. It may also be different from state to state.

I believe that yes they do get both speed and red light, if you go through speeding on a green light, I would say it would book you for speeding. Atleast, that's how I approach all red light cameras, not worth taking the chance to test out the theory :glare:

My first & only speeding fine was from one of these red light+ speed cameras :glare: & yes it was through a green light. So prob expect one in the mail in the coming weeks andz69 :laugh:

FYI: Fixed speed cameras are usually set at 11-12kms p/h above the speed limit ;)

i got flashed when i first bought the car...last Xmas...has been 3 months...

so i guess it doesnt register if its green?

Yeah I've always got the impression that they can do ya for Red Light and Speeding (Speeding no matter what colour the light is at the time).

Tis why I always keep the speed down through those intersections.

Good luck mate!

yah so do i..always slow down when going thru the lights

but this particular one was hidden amongst the tree branches, and it was at night...on West Tce, opposite Heaven/Hindley St

look out for it..see if you could spot it next time u drive pass

by law they have to tell you what they are, so if the big white sign with blue writing says: "Red Light Camera" it's only a red light camera; if it says "Red Light & Speed Camera" then its a speed camera 24/7, and a red light camera when appropriate. If you go back past the intersection and see what it says, then your going to know what you can get busted for. =)

safe travels =P

been,there done that........and get ready for the fine.... the trafic light camera ones always come LATE!

agreed!

i have a good mate who works in the force, he tells me that the traffic light camera fines/offences are unfortunately always taking their sweet time....before they arrive in the mail box

another interesting point to mention is that the same mate reckons that these red light & speeding cameras have a tendancy to malfunction if they experience excessive heat. i think he mentioned they tend to fail after 38 degree or higher temps!.... anyone else heard this?

its just interesting to ponder the fact that each of these red light cameras cost alot of money.... (upto $250,000 each i think it is?) and to think...with all that money going into them...you would expect them to be weatherproof.

just my two cents!

in saying this though, i still hope you dont get fined there andz69...goodluck mate!

yeah but due to vandals they stick them in a big pressure cooking hotbox ... not trying to justify just find reason

imo best to just slow down through all intersections thats where crazy ppls try and make up time

cheers Steve, :)

you bring up some good points...though i believe its best just to stick to the speed limit at all times (i know its tempting..especially in performance cars). correct me if i am wrong, but ive heard that there is a 10% speed limit "cushion" before you get fined??, but how do we know that our spedos are actually calibrated 100% precisely..best just to stick the limit for peace of mind...and no hassles.

cheers,

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
