just on a quick note, has any1 seen a camera that doesn't flash?, i was driving on the freeway home at about 3am and probably doing just over the limit approx 110 when i notice a red light on the corner of my eye.

it was spotted heading north between canning hwy and mill point. i hope im just paranoid and eyes playing tricks on me when im tired and it not something new that the cops are using, im certain it didn't flash like the usual pulse, more of the red led shine so to speak. :S

you cant see the beam of laser used on hand held with a naked eye.

f**k im really pissed off that the system. guilty until proven innocent, the only way u can get out of it is go to court where time and money is required.

i got told that if every1 contested their speeding infringement in court, speed cameras will be off the streets within a month.

1. you take 1 camera operator to court (taking 1 cam off the street) for the day. reducing revenue that the cam could have made.

2. you plea guilty + court fees so it cost you 120 bux, i think but it cost the government $5k +

would love to see theory put to test.

sounds good.

I'm coming up with a theory about how we should all not buy fuel for one day. Its an awesome idea and I think i'll be awarded for it in the future.

ps you said naked.

The government dosnt really want people to stop speeding . . . they say there doing things to stop it (which they do a bit), BUT. . just imaging if no one sped. . . Think about how much money they would loose if everyone did the right thing. . .

So. . . Technically. . When we speed and get caught and fined, we are actually helping WA . . lol

so exactly which roads are being fixed? I would have figured $200m would have fixed some common busy roads e.g F*#king flinders street in yokine. the left lane is stupidly bumpy, with crap eveywhere, and ive got stock suspension!!

we need a radar jammer hidden in the car, which can be turned off when needed so cops cant detect it when they pull you over.

i thought they had sensors in the handheld laser units which tell them if their signal is being jammed? then they'd just search your car till they found the unit..

I believe it is not illegal to use/posess a laser jammer in WA. The legality of them has not yet been tested in court and they fall between the gaps of the telecoms act. (Radar jammers are a very different issue and are treated specifically under the telcoms act as an illegal transmitter).

Most laser jammers will only operate for a few seconds to allow you to slow down then switch off (or so I am told) :mad:

The Multanovas have a red filter that goes over the flash unit at night to reduce driver blindness. It is not infra red, just a coloured filter.

If nothing flashed, you're safe. If it was a red flash, then it got you.

You won't see any lasers or "red dots" from laser guns (all hand helds are laser in WA)

The government is counting on people speeding (fines are in every budget AND this figure increases every budget) - so much for speed cameras working

You won't find a radar jammer anywhere that works. The rocky mount radar brand was a hoax and the only active radar jammer that "apparently" worked (Scorpion RCD) does not jam my Kustom Eagle (K-band) dash mounted radar (tried it, fail)

Laser jammers do work (all the decent ones on the market do not show jamming codes on the Ultralytes used in WA)

    • Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 😅
    • BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 🫠    
    • I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha
    • I see you missed the rest of the conversation where they have benefits, but nothing to do with avoiding breaking turbos, which is what the aftermarket BOV made all the fan boys, tuners, and modders believe was the only purpose for them...
    • But they do so for the other reasons to have a compressor bypass. It's in the name.
