Am wondering how does the camera works? was travelling 55km/h on a 60km/h zone and this smart @ss went pass me really fast and the camera on the left flashed. So, my car will definitely be in the photo. Will i get a fine for that?

What if a motor Bike is speeding right beside you and the camera flashes?

Guys, any ideas?

happened to me once.......i was in the right lane and some-guy was in the left lane on the 3-lane freeway. Some-guy sets off the camera and i was in the 'shadow' of his flash. 1 year on....no ticket in the mail.

i think you can dispute if you do get a fine if you were doing under the limit......i guess the camera's are still not 'smart' enuff to distinguish which speeding vehicle in which lane sets off the camera.....

that's why i always stay in the right lane making sure there is some 'scapegoat' car in the left lane...:)

well, funny though. I sent an email to the police and the replied sounded like this

thank you for your email dated 1 August 2003.

In answer to your questions, if your vehicle is not exceeding the posted

speed limit the vehicle can not be recorded by a speed camera.

The speed camera can ID which vehicle in a photo has exceeded the speed

limit.

I hope this information helps

Yours sincerely

yes its true i've been told by numerous amounts of people who know the system ... if u ever get a speeding fine the first thing is ask for the photo ... lots of times the backlog is just too much and they just throw away a whole bunch ... if theres another car in the photo dispute it ... despite what the coppers say the camera really can't differentiate ... and u will most likely get it thrown away ...

I was in a two car photo once .I knew there would be two cars in the pic so asked to see the photo. As my car was in the middle of the shot they said i was the speeder (which was true).

So I paid up. Funny thing is when they showed me the pic it only had my car in it an I had to ask him to pan it out to see everything the sneaky bastard

The current speed camera's in use in WA use simple camera/film technology and cannot differentiate the speeding vehicle. If you sit beside another car they'll have a hard time proving it was you that was exceeding the limit.

There was some talk about using digital camera-powered speed camera's that are intelligent to pick out the speeding motorist by way of a red dot on the photo. This is technically possible and was apparently planned for rollout a while back. Haven't heard anything since then....

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      In the US almost everything is E10. It can't exceed 10% by much or fuel systems have trouble adapting. At the same time because MTBE, MMT, and TEL are all banned they need as much ethanol in it as possible to boost octane.

      I was mostly jesting. In my experience (and probably only my experience) the R34 GTT physical airbox space is actually too small to flow the amount of power it wanted. By sealing the box, I made it so it could only be fed by the ducts themselves. So you can seal it up and get nice cold air which IS good, but at a certain crossover point: More Hot Air > Less Cold Air I don't think you're at this point. In my case merely ducting the hot air intake with a very focused set of ducts counteracts the fact it's in a V8 engine bay. More cold air obviously best. The solution looks great.

      Nah, the OEM CAI pipe is still installed behind the bumper, it is about 5" x 3" oval at the engine side, tapering down to a 3" pipe behind the bumper where it gets all the ambient air it needs Engine side of radiator support OEM intake pipe "oval hole" that is right in front of the filter My OEM NC1 CAI pipe: From NC2 onwards, below pic, they come slightly smaller at 2.75" diameter with corrugations and a resonance chamber to reduce intake noise, lucky for me my NC1 has the bigger noisy one, LOL   Basically, the "sealed" airbox will just get ambient air from a 3" pre filter intake tube that is the same size, 3" as the rest of the intake pipe post filter, and if a 3" intake isn't big enough to flow enough air for 150 killerwasps then there are other issues The whole intake is basically the same length as OEM, but it is now about 30% bigger from the airbox back through to the new intake plenum than OEM, and the intake plenum is port matched to the head And the intake is now about 30% bigger than my 2.5" exhaust, so the suck, squeeze, bang and blow black magic should be fine, well, to my uneducated understanding of fluid dynamics anyway Talking the the guys at MX5 Mania, it may even make a few more killerwasps as the intake isn't sucking hot air, especially off idle or when in slow traffic when it would be sucking hot air  As for the difference in IAT, I haven't logged IAT yet, as I don't currently have a OBD2 reader, but I will have a play with my thermal lazer thingie next time I take the car out to sèe how hot stuff gets under the bonnet near the intake filter prior to installing the air box, my "assumption is it has to be much better after the air box is in and sealed up compared to what it is now The aftermarket "performance" CAI elephant in the room: Aftermarket CAI intakes typically have the air filter tucked up behind the bumper, with a 2.5" intake tube (the OEM intake pipe is actually about 30% bigger than the fancy pants "aftermarket" version.....WTF), and you need to remove the bumper to service the filter, which is a PITA Like dis:

      Nice one, I'd argue that the white S1 RS260 is certainly the best looking of the Stageas. And yes, fully agree on the forum situation. It's a bit of a shame, but at least SAU is a good place to be. I found the facebook groups to give me FOMO because people were trying to one-up each other and show off in some way. Feels much more natural here. There are people with seriously nice builds, but I can appreciate it rather than it making me question my life choices. Might be that people are more open with sharing how much work/money/suffering it takes to actually get there.

      Evening, wanted to pop in and finally register to say hi to everyone here on SAU!   It's been a while since I've been active on a forum, but back in the day I used to be relatively active on ClubLexus and other hobby-related forums. I'm glad to see SAU is still around, since with the advent of Facebook and Discord it seems forums aren't what they once were. As a recent new owner of an S1 260RS Stagea, I've found so many older guides and helpful tips from SAU that I figured I needed to join and say a grave thank you. My recent acquisition has only become legal in the US for the past year, and knowing that similar car enthusiasts from across the pond have already figured out the kinks and tricks to get these 25+ year old cars running well. I look forward to diving into more of the SAU forums as well as hopefully contribute some info myself for future posterity.   As a pic tax, here is one of the few good photos I have of my Stagea. I hope to get way more in the future!
