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.

Mick.

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.

Its a $75 fine in NSW. Hair spray and so on doesnt work. I know someone who tried it. I wouldnt trust this stuff either untill i saw it work.

is that the speeding fine or for having the can of hairspray ? not that i use it me prefur gel personally :)

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

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
