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

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
