Speed cameras?? Robin Hood to the rescue!!!


Recommended Posts

If all they really want to do is slow people down and not generate revenue then surely it cant be illegal to warn others of the position of speed cameras because all you are doing is saving lives

i like ur thinkin!!

this thread is gold. The only ones i see around are on the freeway so far away from home cbf.

Around my area (Warrandyte South/Ringwood/Croydon Hills/Chirnside Park) there is a off-duty policeman that parks in multiple places around our area in a Holden Ute ( used to be red now its white) - someone said there just citizens, but thats not the case all the time!

I got done 12am saturday morning 63 in a 60 zone..............................

brilliant! very funny thread...

I miss the good old days when the cameras were those big blue boxes 10 metres out in front of the car and it was sooo easy to spot them... everyone would be flashing their lights ets... those sneaky dash mounted ones are bloody hard to spot if they are parked on the same side of the road as your driving...

i routinely see these traffic cars parked illegally on the footpath etc (eg Barkers rd in front of Carey on footpath).

We should start a 'mobile speed camera car' database - see em, snap em, post em :)

not a bad idea ronin..

re: the legality of warning people - they might try and pull some you're not allowed to advertise / post signs if you do not have something from the council to say you are allowed ? dont know if they could exactly fine you for it though

They're still blue, theyr'e still big (about the size of 2 large shoe boxes on top of each other), they're still deployed a few metres in front of the car (they toyed with nudge-bar mounted flashes but they were scrapped) and they're still FLASH UNITS, not cameras!

But, it isn't always used nowadays, if the light level is good why stick a flash out there?

Other than the tripod mount, which is almost never used, the camera has always been in the car and on the dash.

The company that runs the speed cameras is a private company, but must have the equipment pass stringent tests regularly *B ullshit!*

They're contractors to the government that's why they get revenue from who they catch

effectively a renta-mob

ive done the exact same thing before...

on nepean highway in aspendale.. and it was a magna aswell!!!!

it was probably about a year ago, on a satday afternoon and me and a mate saw him, so we went home and painted in big red letters 'speed camera ahead' on a piece of cement sheeting, then we snuck up and leant it on the car parked behind the magna...

then we sat up the street and watched the brake lights of the all passing cars go on!!!!

we were laughing for ages... im sooo glad i did it...

    • This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking 
    • Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?
    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...
