Yeah Drivers subconsciously tensing up and focusing too much on the red light camera is BAD.

Tunnel vision.

It will cause more accidents.

We're better drivers when we are not over-thinking...just doing it intuitively and naturally.

Insurance is no good if you dead, or worse, severely hurt and have to suffer the rest of your life.

Hmm how is being hurt WORSE than being dead :D

I think I'd rather have a case of whiplash than be 6 foot under.

What price do you put on life, Insurance is there to cover your loss, for those you leave behind.

hahahaha

i meant severly hurt... like brain damage or even a paralysed.

that would be worse... (imo) then being dead.

Totally true eh they just want more money from us! :D

How ironic that they want to make the streets safer for us, but its actually getting more dangerous by putting these static speed cam...

So when does the trial end? im just hoping it still under the trial so i dont get fined... and hopefully after the trial and few accidents they'll take them off...

maan, i havent even paid my last bill from the mobile speed cam :) .. shouldve get one of those radar detectors

wil radar detectors pick up these static camera? anyone with radar detector has gone through the bell tower yet?

what do they pick up anyway besides mobile speed cam? police cars?

It should...

im going to try it sometime this week.

im running whistler pro 78 radar detector.

Haha wow so it is a speed camera there. I get off work pretty late (1-4am usually) and luckily I have the worst case of pussyfoot in the world (granny driving I suppose it's called here) and so I generally sit on the limit, no more no less. I'm generally passed by a whole heap of people, especially at 3am when everyone just wants to get home and into bed, and we're all pretty tired, and I thought I was imagining things the first two times I saw the flash of the speed camera, because I looked around and there was no multinova and only a red light camera (yellow one)... thought I was going crazy!! :happy:

Ah well, that means in the last month at least 5 people I know have got speeding tickets there :ph34r:

I wonder if a detector is more trouble than it's worth?

If a Cop stops you it may be the difference between a trip to the pits or being let off for this or that mod?

That can be true in some cases. Despite the fact that radar detectors are 100% legal in W.A....

However, the whistler pro 78 comes with quick release. Takes half a second to take it down and into the glove box.

Never been a problem for me in the 32 or the Stag.

When I got yellowed in the 32 I highly doubt the radar detector had anything to do with it.. but more so the grabbing 2nd across an intersection and the bonnet that didn't shut properly due to freshly installed 30 :happy:

I did once however, have them try to tell me it was illegal to have anything stuck to the windscreen (even though it is completely out of my line of sight). I then asked them about all the unmarked cars that have bigger more obtrusive constructions stuck in the same spot.. he didn't have much to say after that. These were not traffic cops btw.

well let us know brendan after u check it out...

so what does pro 78 picks up besides multinova, red lights? cops car?

heard its such a great radar detector and relatively cheap price compared to the other ones...

It doesn't pick up red lights as they don't use a radar..

It picks up K-band which is in-car radar mostly used by highway patrol (invaluable on country runs).

Also picks up Ka-band which is multinovas and also Laser (handheld) but you don't get much warning if any with those as they get the reading pretty damn quickly and the field is only a couple of feet square (and generally aimed at your number plate) compared to radar which has a huge field of view.

Topic has kind of diagressed

But i did want to say

I have that whistler pro (same as brendan) and its done a fat lot of good for me. Great with K band, sucks with Ka band. I have to be ON the multanova before it starts beeping. So whats the point in really having one? Or is it the position thats screwing it up? Or are they all like this.

I go through that intersection every day, saw it flash once I assumed it was for a red light, but looking back I wasn't sure if the guy went through the red or was speeding...he appeared to be going at a fair rate so maybe he'll get done for both :)

touch wood, yet to get a speeding ticket in almost 15 years of driving :)

use the radar detectors thread please.

Wheres this thread.

As for the static speed camera, i know that in Canberra there are tonnes of these things. People know where all of the speed cameras are and thus should never get done for speeding (except for hand helds).

I dont think static speed cameras like this one would be that bad, as long as you know where they are, you shouldnt get done.

  • 2 months later...

hey everyone

I thought i would show you guys this.

post-44649-1260181731_thumb.jpg

I was just driving today down leach hwy and i saw this on the intersection off leach hwy and north lake road.

I’m not too sure whether it’s a red light camera or/and if it also has a speed camera attached to it.. Has anyone else seen any off these being put up around Perth ?

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
