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.

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 ?

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
