Point to Point Radar

Hey do we have these on the coast? I just got pulled over by a cop and he said I was caught speeding by a point to point radar, and he basically said that the evidence will be reviewed and I will be informed.

If this is true I am DEAD no licence what so ever because of the speed I was going.

Just spoke to my cousin whos freind is a cop and spoke to her and she was on duty at the moment, Its some new gadget shit it was entering the highway on the coast i will be summond to court and lose my licence in speeds excess of 175.

Oh well shouldnt have been speeding

Yes the new point to point can get you from up to 1km away....

Its not affected by curves on the body of a car and heat waves do not affect it either... Very accurate and effective way to detect speed in a second or so.... Do not have to track a car for 30 metres or more to get the reading either... 1 seconds contact is enough.... I think ill have to get back to the lab to develop the invisibality device (James Bond style)..... Switch activated of course.... Cars here, now its not......

Just dont park in a car park with it turned on.... It would get smashed up good.....

This sounds quite interesting...

I am curious to know how they will claim that you are speeding.

ie. with previous stuff you would have a photo with a read out of the speed limit, and the

speed you were doing.

Will they send you a series of formula's and calculations? E=MC^2= speeding skyline.

That aside, I hope that you do get your license suspended. You not only endanger yourself

and others by doing speeds in excess of 175km/hr, but you give the rest of us bad names.

Your 19, P-Plater? Import? Turbo? Speeding? anybody see this on Today Tonight?? (gee i wonder)

Oh well shouldnt have been speeding

You said it yourself.

yeah.. if it was 1km away.. you could claim he was just locking onto somebody else..

and unless there was proof in evidence? And by the time he has caught up you are pretty much going to go "what are you talking about". It won't take long before its challenged in court - seems prone to error. I am sure nothing can be that accurate with just getting a 1 second reading.

It happens in VIC where a cop can just claim that sitting behind you with their perfectly calibrated speedo that you were speeding.. but its been proven that this is prone to error. A couple of VIC members challenged this in court and got reduced sentences. In a way in does really come down to your word against theirs and a good lawyer.

Although theoretically if you were in front of a large truck then he is not going to be sitting behind you is he... and they still have to ..

anyhow.. lol

To determine the speed of individual vehicles it would require the kind of radar/phased array technology in a modern fighter jet/attack helo/AWACS and be able to display each vehicle and discriminate clearly. Even then these mega buck systems are able to be fooled by environmental anomolies.

Anyway, I'm not going to help you get out of this. Wear it. That speed is stupid. Come to a bloody race track.

hey can a cop holding a radar on the side of the road pick you up speeding then just write down your plates and send you a fine or do they have to pull you over to fine you?

does this apply with this new point to point radar thing aswell?

Although I don't condone doing 175kph on a public road, under any circumstances, if you wanted to choose the safest public area to do it in, Smith St to Helensvale is it...

1 northbound emergency lane, 4-5 northbound traffic lanes, another northbound emergency lane, 2 lane wide median with those bendy cable barriers, southbound emergency lane, 4-5 southbound traffic lanes, and another southbound emergency lane... Dead flat, dead straight... a total of 1 entry and exit northbound, and the same for southbound... Basically a 110kph limited airstrip...

If you get caught doing 175 on a public road, then your going to go down, so be it... No complaints from me... It's when the cops start booking people for 125kph on the same stretch of road that I start to fume...

Just saw this thing on a cop car... anyone know what it is? sorry for the crap quality... i took it with my phone...

the thing im talking about is the white lump on the boot.... also to note I saw this same car pull someone over... i'd say it was for speeding cause he over took us on the left, must not had seen the cop car, but I was right on the limit, he was probably 20 over..... the cop waited about 30 seconds, then the bacon lights came on and sped up... I stopped at maccas to get a feed... after going thru the drive thru i drove past the cop writing the dude a ticket....

also to note, there was no sidewinder on the cop car.... only visible thing was this lump on the boot!

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
