So will you get a fine if this happens?

Cos ive heard mixed stories... My dad recently got booked for doing 4km/h over and the camera flashed to his eyes, he paid the fine and stuff when he got it but a lot of people say he should of contested it cos its illegal (Police didnt give me an exact answer when asked, and solicitors just wanted money)...

I know intersection fixed cameras won't flash you when you are facing them, that is probably where you could contest it in the unlikely event you do get snapped by one going towards it. But mobile speed cameras certainly will. I mean, they would flash in towards-the-camera faces all the time when catching people speeding away from the camera.

was on a supra cruise, then at the hoddle/victoria st intersection, there's this right turn arrow that is variable, in the afternoon, it lets about 8 to 10 cars pass, but that night it only let 4 cars, out of habit, i went past, not realising the light had turned, but another car next to me went forward to, we both got flashed, but its been 3 or so months and still no letter, i'm guessing it works the same for redlight cameras too?

May work the same for red light but seeing they go off road sensors rather than motion, it might be easier for the camera to tell what lane the violating car was in. You might have gotten lucky cause 3 months is a long time to go without receiving a fine, although not completely ruled out.

scary, fingers crossed.

Yeah i know that they flash towards cars, but the question is, is it legal? Cos there are some dodgy setups that these mobile speed cameras do, but cos its only 4-10km/s over, 1point and a 180odd fine people dont contest it for being illegally setup up (Too much trouble on taking it too court)...

But I guess ive been watching too much ACA and hearing too many rumors... :D

I think some of them need to be realigned, the one I got snapped by on my L's got me right in the eyes...I could barely see the road. It's a common problem with that intersection though, one person get's snapped everyone around it gets blinded.

I always thought that if I incurred the points on my L's it would have come off my L's, I asked the women at VicRoads when I went for my P's and she said it wasn't a problem and I'd have all my points for my P's, then they send me a letter after having my P's for like 4 months saying that I only have 2 points til December, when I get another 5

Red light cameras go off the sensors so they can tell which lane caused the flash. If the red light camera is suspected to have made a mistake, anyone on that film will not be fined, or at least that's what Tenix advises :)

noo you cant get flashed if you on the otherside of the road by a mobile speed camera..

it only gets the one side of the road (e 2lanes 3 lanes not the whole 3 lanes on each side.. cant detect that far

FYI, you can accrue 12points in any 3year period, but only 5 in any 12 month period(p's).- 4 per year for 3 years would be under 5 in 12, but would have you in shit for the 12point/3year limit every driver has :D

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
