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.

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!

      Rusty roof repair

      By Duncan · Posted

      Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement

      first time swapping rb25det into r34

      By Duncan · Posted

      This seems to be a very popular swap since all the turbo skyline prices went through the roof! I'll let someone more familiar chime in, but I understand that yes you probably want to swap the loom in to swap out the auto TCM stuff. You should not assume everything just plugs in either, you need to check at least the ECU wiring diagram for any differences at the plug at the left headlight and probably the ones near the ECU that join the dash loom too

      first time swapping rb25det into r34

      By dingleberry · Posted

      hows it fellas, my first post here which seems crazy cos half the forums i read are like the same age as me haha. to make a long story short ive got an r34 sedan (rb25de neo auto) which im swapping to a s0/s1? rb25det, r33 big box and nismo gt pro lsd. i have the motor and gearbox all bolted up outside the car, old motor and trans out. i bought the motor with stock ecu and loom, do i switch over to that? or will it be easier to get a r34 manual ecu and keep the loom if thats even possible.  also engine mounts look different, anything else thats different or incompatible? cheers, hope this all makes sense Paddy

      SAUNSW - World Time Attack Challenge - 5 & 6 September

      By Keeper · Posted

      Plan on the day will be to park trackside. Depending on space availability we will try put a small shade tent and a few of the cars on top of the hill inside turn 3, this is an easy to get to parking area with views of Turn 2, Turn 3, Turn 4 and Turn 5 and limited other pieces of the view around the track. IMPORTANT NOTE! One consideration from previous years is from memory the trackside parking sells out before the admission tickets, for that reason I encourage anyone planning on coming to buy tickets for parking now via the official website; https://www.worldtimeattack.com/ The type of parking you are looking for is 2 Day Park & View (Access Around Venue) Vehicle Pass Only Please note this does not include admission to the event itself, remember to grab that also, and kids under 12 get in for free!
