Just yesterday had some car pull in behind me down the fwy and start going nuts flashing his lights, needless to say I crapped my dax thinking my car was on fire or something, turns out he was just flashing the other side of the road about a speed camera.

Seriously, I hate when ppl do that in excess, or when they are right behind me etc.

it is pretty lame to do it for a speed camera if its there all the time, a bit more sensible if one of those random short time vans but still...not while your right up someones ass.

Cops? Nope, don't flash. They're just doing their job. Positive reinforcement I think.

Speed camera with some fat slob sitting there. You bet. That's Australian.

Don't want some poor ba$tard getting a ticket for doing 64 in a 60 zone do we?

what about someone doing 84 in a 60 zone?

I don't know. These days guessing everyone elses speed isn't really my business. I'm too busy trying to guess my speed and the F&*Kwit in front of me.

Can you tell if they are doing 84 in a 60 zone? I don't think I could.

i got warned going into a secluded street in the middle of nowhere out back of austral yesterday, sure enough over the hump there was a highway patrol sitting in someones driveway doing radar, so i cruise by, as i get out of what i thought was range of view see an oncoming bus and a few cars give them a flash to let them know each one aknowledged and gave me a wave of a thumbs up, although the bus might have got me in trouble for flashing back lol,

another thing that shits me off about flashing, you will get people that will flash for kms after the speed camera/police location. that's fine, until you are in a line of traffic with some overly cautious dimwit at the front that then decides to sit 15km/h under the speed limit for the next few kms 'just to be safe'.

Yeah i always Flash my highs, Been pulled over once by a UC typhoon 350 dollar fine for doing it.

this would be the reason most people dont flash.

I've been past a few mobile cameras, and dont recall anyone flashing oncoming cars

What a lot of ppl don't think about is that when you flash your lights, your taillights flash as well!!! So if your still within visible range of the popo, they can chase you and get right nasty.

I don't flash on the main highways [Hume, Princess, Pacific, Sturt, Calder etc] cos you'd have to be a first class unit to speed on them roads, cops, speed camera's and the Macquarie Bank reps are everywhere. I do flash when its on the back or byroads becasue you never ever expect radar on them. But I only flash when I'm out of sight/around the corner to the cops.

And I'm also a bit selective, motorbikes and trucks, normal cars are kewl, but high rollers and late model commodores/falcons [could be cop cars] are out.

I dont know any car that has the tail lights come on when you flash...they are wired to the parking light switch not the high beams

trucks (especially semi's) will already know where the speed cameras and radars are. as for late model commodores/falcons, you need to expand your range. in gympie the cops also had a silver VW golf and a black lancer/evo as well as a few camrys/avalons.

do they seriously have a pucka EVO 10 as an undercover car in Gympie? thats pretty boss.

See the sense in your approach to flashing Trident but whats up with getting fined for it, very uncool and im sure it wouldnt be hard for a decent lawyer or even just a well spoken defendant to overturn it in court. Pretty sure it woudl be unconstitutional in the US to have a law like that, they are also getting rid of their speed cameras over there. .and raising speed limits in a lot of states.

51st state? yes please...

I've noticed the decrease in other people warning on coming traffic about speed cameras/coppers hiding in bushes.

Last time I got a warning flash from a Golf R on Leech highway about a mobile speed camera was about a year ago.

That road seem to have a camera of some sort at every major intersection...

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
