i was driving through sunshine on sat night, and there was a flashing camera going full sick. it got about three cars going the opposite direction from me. poor c*nts.

i realise this thing wont work for all cams, but if it saves you only once a year, its a good year.

. . .

i sh*t the bed, thats why im up so late.

Camera's still need flashes at night and the red light camera's flash day or night. Even when a speed camera durin the day does not use a flash the rate of successful shots drops substantially, but as less people see the camera they get more photos so it adds up in their favour. This spay if it does replect will work against flashing cameras.

they don't flash? - oh well, i guess we'll just have to take our number plates off altogether

yes, just ask dj_lethal how long you can get away with that for :)

yup, see it often, idiots are pretty dumb sometimes - car on the side of the road clear as day, box as obvious as your grandmother's...see if all the dickheads didn't get caught in obvious situations like that then they wouldn't get enough revenue and soon give up.

Well if you think about it, while a flash will increase the reflectivity significantly of anything, its not mandatory.. however if you take photos of anything reflective during the day it still can flare it all out with the right conditions and things - so could well work during the day.

I was watching something on TV last night.. they sounded a bit shitscared and admitted not much could be done just said "don't do it". Even admitted pretty much "its just not practical to ban certain products out there". In other words, other common aerosols will work just as well :D Now which brands, ones, etc??

i suggested for my flatmate to try the hairspray idea out and go at 100km/hr past the fixed camera here but he declined :D

Get your skyline to the drive in and watch that film from the RING, and then make a copy and pass it on so Samara wont come after you.

i saw someone get flashed from one of those combined red light and speed cameras. the thing is though that the light was green. i thought the idea was to stop people speeding up through orange lights, well thats what they told us. if that was true then it would only come on when the light goes orange. obviously they couldnt pass up an opurtunity to have another fixed speed camera out there making plenty of money for them

unfortunately, the speed cameras are the other way around in WA. they take pic from the front. and they dont send the pic to you in the mail. if you want to see it (worthwhile, coz its often the wrong car) you have to make an appointment and go it there. if its unclear (the plate) they often send it out to all the ones that its close to. they say if you pay, then you are admitting guilt. sucks so much. so what 'some people' do (not me of course :) is to send a cheque for about $1.50 more than the amount of the fine. so they cant cash it, because then they'd be recieving money illegally, and its not enough to send a refund checque for! this person i know (who looks a lot like me) has done it a few times now. :( worked every time! dont make it too much over tho, or its worth their while to refund it... :D

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
