In light of recent thefts of number plates, and the ever increasing risk of speeding tickets, you guys might be interested in these (if you have not already seen them)...

Another site claims their plates can't be flash-photographed...

Good point about the first one is that when you park your car, ppl can't see your plates. Also at the flick of a switch neither can a camera... :rolleyes: If you want to take photo's of your car, easy to switch off your plates, so lowers risk of identification and theft...

nutz!! i but at ~$600 its a bit steep.. i was always after something like that..

Thing is - like radar detectors, these will very quickly be banned and massive fines attached if they catch on. The govnermnet don't wanna lose all that millions and millions of dollars it gets each year and the whole massive program it has going. Cops these days are glorified tax collectors, nothing more.

Apparently the only reason the VIC budget is currently in surplus is due to revenue raising through traffic infringements. If this is the way the government has to keep the state's economy going well **** them.

hmmm... i just thought of something?? polarising film .. not gonna cost you $600..

but still, if the camera can't see it, neither can a nearby cop - and that means he's gonna dick you for it.. obscuring a number plate was funily enough, increased to loss of 3 points and (i think) $165 fine recently - where once it was just a monetary fine.

Yep... thought about polarising film... The point of this is that you can leave it switched on while driving (just flick it under bridges etc.) and as long as cops aren't tailing you (and if they were you wouldn't be speeding), you'll be safe.

Also, if you take your rego sticker off (temporarily) as well, you can park illegally and you can't be booked...

I was unaware that they made it a 3 pt offence to have your plate obscured thoguh... Cvnts... :rolleyes: I guess it's only if you get caught though...

guys... half the camera's that are in use in melbourne metro and sydney metro now use the laser assisted cameras. No more polarising film and fly spray tricks. If you don't get a speeding ticket then you've probably just been hit by one of those old ones.

Laser assisted cameras basically shoots out laser rays instead of light, and as laser lights are polarised (is that the term, well they don't vary in frequency) the chances of them being scattered are well... 1 in half the surface area of a sphere... plus parralel rays will not negate or interfere with other rays (unlike white light which goes in all directions).

They trialled one on Carlingford road in Epping/Carlingford, Sydney and as a result on the first day of operation they caught about 40 people. Most of them speeding in groups. Oh yeah, being lasers they operate at higher frequencies as well, meaning they can take the pics quicker.

Technology is catching up...

Also since this thread is balancing on the fine line of legality (and we don't condone illegal behaviour)... keep it legal and it won't dissapear.

Guys can someone explain to me how speed cameras work. Just say in a multi lane road two cars are travelling. Car A is travelling legal limit and car B travelling 10kph over legal limit. Car A and B pass the camera at the same time. How does the camera know which car to book. If someone can explain this to me I would be so grateful. Not sure how these things work.

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
