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.

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.

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

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
