those ones in glen iris have been there for about 3 weeks.

can anyone confirm seeing an operator/supervisor near by? because i've been past them at night and they seem deserted

As you can see from the pic I upped, I pulled up in front of the tripod for 5mins to see what would happen. Would have loved to take a kip for 1/2hr, but had to get back to the office. I didn't see anyone approaching and although there were a couple of cars around, no one was in them and the cars didn't look stereotypical of what I thought they might. ie new cars.

The car mounted cameras were $80k each and I'm guessing these setups must be worth $40+k, if not more. Therefore I would expect someone to be in close proximity.

I wouldn't be suprised if those camera's auto-snap pics if you get within, say, 3m of it as a self preservation exercise.

since the government is all about getting money rather than stopping assaults and burglaries and all that other shit....im thinking of doing a homer simpson, and starting up a "people's police" - think i should look at the law first though before i do that :laugh:

nothing new. I deployed over 5000+ similar units to HK police about 5 years ago which were a handhold unit mounted on a tripod of the car with radar and camera in one unit. This was 5 years ago, so they should be much better now and probably are rolling video with frame capture like most of the newer fixed cameras. no doubt they use a wireless backhaul and leave no images on the unit - thats what i would do.

just don't speed, pretty simple.

once they go into full action no doubt they will be mounted on top of a pole, unless they are going to replace the current car mounted ones which not doubt will still have some one within line of site.

Also as far as i know to get fined by a camera you need to have a detected speed of 8+ over and radar is 6+ over, was told this a while ago and the only person who has been fined below this was a friend who got done doing 6 over by a camera, but there is no guarantee that he wasnt just looking at the alledged speed not the detected speed.

These are black ops speed cameras

Note the section on SA speed cameras

Just wait till someone dumps a pail of whatever liquid into the bin and let's see what kind of pictures can those speed cameras take.

i work at a landfill i might talk to some truckies .... get the to use there bin grabber early one morning .. and just pluck it up from the side of the road .. and keep going ... be perfect and no one would know .. in about 4hours after that we would have burried it in like 85tones of more rubbish and building scrap

That's the sh!t, right there.

I love ur evil mind.

Now put ur mind to learning to frive a 6wheel articulated vehicle and not rolling it! :nyaanyaa:

LOL!

fixed speed is based on a percentage of the limit. I wont tell you what it is, but I know and this hasn't changed for some time.

The point of this device would be mobility, so I doubt they are going on poles.

They stopped using that a few years ago, it was all over the media at the time because they were bringing in a law that stated you could get done for doing 5k's over in any zone, hence the wipe off 5 campaign, the % use to be 10% but when they brought in the 5k rule there was a huge uproar because by australian standards a new car is allowed to have a speedo that is out by 10%, so you could buy a new car get out on the freeway and be done for speeding within the first 10 minutes of buying a brand new car, there is also a page around that documents a SA minister making public in parliament how much you can go over before being fined in vic.

Who cares if it is 'legit'

I've parked infront of the parked car speed camera's before (was near where i was staying).

Stuff em.

The dude came out and said he was trying to operate a speed detection device and i was in his camera's line which affected it.

I said, ye i know, and asked if i could move it, i said nup. Went inside :thanks:

He also said it took a little while to setup etc

So must have been a pain in the ass :P

I recall you smoke screening one years back too.... Not sure itf all the smoke was coming out the exhaust of the pintara though.....:laugh:

That's gold

These are being "tested" around Dandenong at the moment... ...One person/car can operate up to four "devices" at once...

One day last week they were all over the Westal Rd Ext... ...The crazy thing is they can hide them behind crash rails and you don't see them until the last moment...

I saw one of these getting on the freeway from Dynon Rd a couple of nights ago - I go WTF is that?? very sneaky indeed - imagine pulling over and pinching it just for kicks...there would be someone sitting in a car nearby so something like that doesn't happen

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
