hey all. just wanted to pick peoples brains. I'm just trying to figure out if the car mounted speed 'safety' cameras that hide in the trees and other area's you cant see them have the same flash set up that fixed camera's have?

Ive just never seen any operate late and night and was curious.

I think i got done near the ingle farm shops on Montague road at 1am this morning. Car was hiding in the trees, the flashes were about 3 seconds apart which i think was too long (compared to the fixed ones)

im sure i was really endangering life doing 67 in a 60 zone at 1am on a cold drizzly night. maybe the rain will give a false reading:)

im guessing i def have been done but never noticed the car ones operating late at night (i bet the driver wasnt even in the car, it was probably parked out the front of his house and he wasn't in the car)

Nothing worse than thinking you got done, i reckon i went through a mobile one the other day on churchill rd, not to mention in the work van to make it worse. So im anxiously checking the mail box each day.

Anyone know how long they roughly take to send out the fine?

Rather take the points than the fine to be honest, but be interesting to see if i did get done, even now im still doubting whether i was over or not.

On second thought they have changed it now haven't they, you get more points and less of a fine? Still thinking it was 1 point and 200plus fine for about 5-10kmh, its 2 points now and 150 or so?

hang your front number plates on loose cable ties. as you drive faster, the wind pushes them up under the bumper and out of sight. im sure theres a way to rig the rear one to do something similar...

or drive slower

seems fair, but being done for 65 in a 60 zone seems a bit harsh. i know ive been done so have to cop it on the chin. im sure maybe light weight hindges on numberplates might work too

btw i've been flashed twice on the kwaka really late at night, and i'm 100% i was on or below the posted limit. Maybe they flash every now and then to ensure they are still working, or to just throw fear into people.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
