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

easy fixed

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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
