hahah.... i rekon we should get some stickers made up...while the guy is sitting in the car sneak up and stick it on the rear bumper in big letters " I HAVE A SPEED CAMERA SLOW DOWN" or something like that...they might even drive off without knowing :P

it is actually illegal to warn people about the cameras....

anyhow, as its all privatised they get a cut of every fine they get, or the company does or something similar, and bonuses' are paid.. there was an outcry, then everybody forgot about it nice and quickly.

its a corrupt system and a bankrupt state.. bracks I love you..

There's a fixed speed camera on centre road in Clayton and i swear, bracks spends more money fixing it than he gets from revenues. At least once a fortnight some nice streethood gangs spary paint over the lens and flash with silver spray paint, even after its fixed (it gets fixed very quickly :| ) you can still see the outline of paint... not to mention the number of times its been smashed.

I dont know how it can be illegal to advise people there is a speed camera ahead because radio stations broadcast a pretty accurate location of the speed cameras anyway.

Would be good to sit on the side off the road with a Speed camera ahead sign, a chair and a slab of beer!

I think the crime is called Perverting the Course of Justice in regards to flashing lights or otherwise warning people of a speed camera.

I dont know if the radio even broadcasts about speed cameras anymore. I havent heard it on the fox in a while.

Thumbs up though :(

nova 100 advertises locations of speed cameras, i rang one in this morning :( Even if it is illegal (which i dont think it is, beacuse they place signs up about fixed speed cameras notifying the motorist of a camera) i'd still do it anyway because there is no way they can do anything to you - your just a bystander on the side of the road with a sign, they cant touch you...and if they did it would be great fun because you would get an excuse to punch their fkn lights out! hehe.

The cops also hate them because the cops also get fined by these guys! I was talking to a cop and he goes they get fined the same way that we do unless they can provide a valid reason.

If you want to post signs warning motorists that's up to you, if you're unhappy with Speed Camera policy tell your MP about it, but don't give the operators grief they're just doing their jobs.

Funniest thing i seen in my life was this old wog guy haha i went for a walk with my missus one afternoon..and this guy.. he must have ran the camera .... cause the guy pulled over in his XF.. walked up to the box ... and started kicking the shit out of the camera.. spat at it.. and walked back to his car yelling some sort of abuse... he must have been atleast 60-65 years old..lol

i couldnt walk after that.. i had to sit down for atleast 10 minutes... i was crying from laughter

i agree that abusing or giving them greif isnt going to do anything but neither is ur local MP... im sorry but a local pleb isnt going to be able to do shit when things like this earn the government so much money... just keep puting up signs :(

The box is actually the flash, the camera's in the car on the passenger side dash, and they cop it a fair bit.

True about the MP, then vote Bracks out (doubt much will change tho), or why not write a letter to the editor of like everyone else! ;)

I don't have that much trouble spotting mobiles because i'm on "heightened alert" when I'm bending the rules :(. I don't HABITUALLY speed.

As for the fixed intersections ones, they all have "Speed Camera in Area" signs up at all 4 approaches (even though they only cover one), not to mention speeding through intersections is approaching suicidal with the number of dicks who run reds.

And everyone knows the tunnels are full of them so it amazes me anyone is stupid enough to get caught there.

So on the balance it's not that hard to have a little "fun" and avoid a fine the only ones that worry me are cops with lasers.

My brothers mates were walking past a speed camera car and came up with a BRILLIANT idea to sneek up and pinch the guys rear number plate... Hahaha Speed camera guys as the devil.... Just fark off

ive heard that story heaps about ppls m8's who have done it, i think that they'd notice u if u removed it, i think they'd be able to hear u from it inside the car

Heath: that was a story from a UK newspaper years ago, I think your mate is pulling your leg

As for it being illegal to put signs up/warn people of the speed camera, i can't see how it could be...

As for abusing the speed camera operator, theres no need to do that, just warning people of a speed camera... thats not abuse

    • 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.
