I found out a while ago that there is now a gps unit that will inform you of known radar speed trap locations, it prewarns you while you drive along.

Anyway it seems that this type of info is not "classified" material and in the interest of all my tiny points left, I thought we could start posting our own handy little guide for those less endowed like me. :laugh:

I will wait till the mods clear it and then I intend to have a big map broken into smaller ones and then referenced of SEQ to start, I hope to have a normal street map, a google image and a photo on each location.

Whatdoyarekonmods??

Ok!!

cheapest and easiest way to stay on top of the old flash for cash and the odd evil knievel is to get yourself onto a CB radio and talk to the truck drivers they are the best source of info on highway and main road based traps, however they wont know your local streets which you shouldn't be speeding on anyway i'm sure those on here with little kiddies will agree.

are yo referring to the "road angel" GPS unit? i believe that this is the legal GPS unit listing all the known fixed camera locatons.. also many tomtom units have fixed camera locations installed, these filed can be downloaded from the www

there's nothing illegal with listing known fixed camera locations

however, i don't know of any camera other than red light cameras

Terry,

You can download POI's (Point of Interest) for TomTom. They range from Fixed Red Light Cameras to Brothels.

You can then have your TomTom play a sound of your chosing whenever you come within a chosen range of said POI.

eg. I have a siren playing whenever I am within 500 metres of a police station so I know to make sure my exhaust noise it at a minimum.

If you get yourself a Nokia N-Series mobile phone you can have all these great benefits too.

Wow, haven't seen the token "if you don't speed you wont have a problem" post yet.. surprising.

I'm lucky, I don't have to go past any regularly used radar locations on the way to/from work. Not that it would really be a problem if I did.

"if you dont speed you wont have a problem" there i said it :P

theres a few i know of,

1. 2 houses down from me along dandenong road they sit there and catch all the people speeding off the sumners road roundabout

2. monier rd darra, just after that tile, bathroom, garden place, just before the vacant block of land (i think this one is rigged).... i got done 72km/h, my girlfreinds old man got done 72km/h, and my girlfreinds old man old man, lol got done 72km/h

3. just after the story bridge heading towards woollongabba they hide behind that bridge/on ramp that goes over ipswich rd just after story bridge

theres almost always one tucked in behind the bushes just after the brewery at yatala heading north along the gold coast highway. also as you turn left of kessels rd heading towards sunnybank usually one hidden in behind a wall

The one on boardman road (in Redcliffe) that tucks itself behind the truck that's always parked there, near the kippa-ring shops, sneaky bastard.

I saw it flash one night as I was driving past, scared me as I definately wasn't doing more than 60, till I noticed the guy travelling beside me (who started behind me at the lights) was pulling ahead of me. Sucks to be you.

out west: cunningham hwy at redbank plains rd, between swanbank and ripley exits in median , oz fuel exit , before fuel station after amberly on the way out.

north:

nundah tunnel either end, sandgate rd after hamilton rd(northbound), toombul rd interchange. gympie rd kedron outisde caravan place (usually tucked BETWEEN the 4wds!)

between anzac ave and boundary rd M1 burpengary.

carseldine in the 80zone coming in off the freeway.

theres more of them I see daily in my travels but those are teh ones I remember.

one interesting one I found last night:

cunningham hwy inbound after redbank plains exit going up hill. there is a information sign that tells you your speed over 100kmh and tells you the demerit points you will lose and the fine... I hit it at 110kmh ..

He is there intermittently Chris, They have about 5 spots along that stretch that lend themselves to their stealth tactics.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
