Hay all...

Just pissing around with my iPhone and I came across an App called Trapster... ...Did a search for it on the Forums and seems no one has talked about it...

Their web sight is Trapster... ...Seems to be very community driven...

Anyone on here using it???...

Been using it for a long time now :D

Great app, it pushes notifications of recent traps to you.

A bit draining on the battery though to have it on constantly while driving though so it's hard to report traps on the spot. I just wait til I get to my destination and then report it online.

My old man uses it all the time cause he has an iphone now... It works good I guess if people report what they see. Anyways was driving on the south coast of NSW and my old man tells me there is a police car along a road we were driving, and yep sure enough there was a green VE Commodore police car sitting behind some bushes. Lucky I was doing the speed limit cause it was a verrrrry straight road and around double demerits...

When I first got the app, I thought it'd be useless because no one would be reporting stuff.

Found out that there are a lot of people using it and quite a few people in my area are regular users because all of the traps have been reported by the same reliable sources :P

It's good to have a quick check of the "Recent Traps" list before you head out on a drive. It gave me a heads up once that I would be going through a booze bus, but I had no choice but to go that way haha.

so is this an app that you just read before u go out? or do u keep it on while driving and it beeps when ur need a camera? pls explain?

You can do both. The web site is where all the work is done. The app on your phone is a portal to the web site. But it also streamlines reporting back to the site.

As you're driving it displays google maps (on iPhone at least) and will beep and point out where a cop is. If it's a green warning, it means it's just been reported and if you see a cop there too you give it a thumbs up, and it goes yellow. If it's yellow and you see a cop you give it a thumbs up and it goes red and means that at least three people have seen and reported that a cop is there.

If you don't see a cop there you give it a thumbs down and after a while if enough people do that then it will be removed.

It keeps the maps and app live.

I have my iPhone mounted in a TomTom cradle so it's clear to see and quick to report or thumb.

The app is free to download and use, apart from your phone data costs.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
