Hi guys;

I was going through a traffic light at the normal speed limit and a car came flying past me from behind and the camera flashed! he was probably doing 80 in a 60 zone - Pretty sure we were right next to each other when the flash happened so my question is, I wouldn't be pinged by that fine would I? How do the camera's know which car was over the limit?

the exact same thing happened to me and i didn't get a fine that was 6-7 months ago now so wouldn't sweat ,not sure about how it pick which cars which

They know which lane triggered.

You won't get a fine. They most certainly will send out if more than one car is in the pic.

I mean take the cameras on Hoddle St, Dandenong Rd etc - Traffic 24x7 and the cameras go off like Christmas lights!

As above, sensor information is included with photo and if you request the photo it will actually mark in which lane you were speeding. Two pics are taken at intersection cameras and these show which car was going faster.

You should not worry - you were doing the right thing...their technology should differentiate accordingly but even if it fails to - just spend 10 minutes wring them a letter to contest the fine and you will definitely be in the clear - wait 1 month or so and you should know...don't worry...

this is true, however those camera's on hoddle are pretty much always faulty :rolleyes:

Since we are on the topic of speed/red light cameras and hoddle st... I see it happen alot where people get in the right lane to turn right, sitting on the sensor and then go f"k it, i'll go straight, get off the sensor and the camera obviously takes a shot as it thinks they are turning on a red... is what they are doing legal? or are you obliged to turn right?

differing opinions? seems like everyone is in agreement... nothing to worry about

Paranoid OP hear's what paranoid OP wants to hear :)

I think it's technically illegal to do that, because you're changing directions at an intersection and you almost always have to cross over a solid line to do this manouvre. But I don't think you'd get a camera fine for it if the camera went off. Reason being, is that red light cameras must take two photos for you to receive a fine: one at the first sensor when you cross the pedestrian lines into the intersection, and a second photo upon crossing the sensor at the middle/end of the intersection. The assumption is that people who willingly travel through the red will cross over both sensors, whilst those wanting to stop short of it and not completely cross the intersection will only get snapped once - behaviour they obviously want to promote. Saw a friend driving and put on their brakes in the wet once...they were carrying a heavy load and their tyres weren't fantastic, so they skidded to a stop in the middle of the intersection. Camera went off once, but no fine ever came of it.

      If you've wired up the coils & injectors properly, & have the neo CAS loom for the trigger, it should all work. The VCT works the same way so just different plugs between s1 & neo. Assuming DBW if no IAC. Don't bother with the stock boost solenoid with g4x.

      R34 engine swap Rb25de neo to s1 Rb25det

      THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.

      Factory oil temp sensor in a RS4V without gauges?

      Light should be a pressure switch, not a sensor.

      The pressure light likely has a different sender to a pressure gauge, its been too long for me to remember for sure. Just have a look for another sender down near the oil filter. If you are confident in your rewired pressure sender reading correctly, you can be pretty sure it is just the dash light's sender failing, it is a pretty common thing.
