I wouldn't touch the super protector at all.

A cop sees that (and they will from the next lane over) and they'll do you hard. They changed the law in regards to obstructing the number plate and it's applicable to this and the fine is up.

The spray looks like the best idea because only fixed speed cameras use the flash so no human is every going to think something is wrong. Although if you use that I think you should take the SAU sticker from your back window if you have one :)

As a matter of interest I ordered one of these photo blocker sprays a while back and never ended up receiving it. I don't know if it's cos they're dodgey, cos customs might have taken it (although I never received notification) or because I accidently sent it to next door (although they would have brought it over) :)

Really, mother f#ckers... I duno if cops would notice it. That spray seems great but only works on Flash camera's. You can still get done easily. Like flash camera should have no reason to flash during the day right?

They might be able to get the spray?

I had the photoblocker plates, but sold them cause they stuck out like dogs balls, I would have been pulled over the by the first cop who drove by me. I suspect this is the same product.

You're better off buying the spray. I took before and after photo's from different angles and distances and it does work.

Or you could just not speed...  We all know that speeding kills..

Yeh depending on the conditions like all things. I dont speed in public areas, meaning any 60 - 100 areas. But i will put my foot down in areas where there are no houses, no bystanders, & no oncoming cars.

My want to get the spray is simply to help me out if someday i accidentally get caught out or a dodgy speed camera trys to fine me. f#ck that I'll play it safe & get the spray. BTW I’ve never had a speeding or red light fine of any sorts.

Or you can try : http://www.neltronics.com.au/other_products.htm ;these guys are in W.A. A good mate has got one of the plate covers(bottom of page)-has had it on for 4 years and saved himself heaps of $$$'s in dumbass revenue. He has have had the Police behind him on numerous occassions,and only once was the cover noted(yes,he was asked to remove it-it got put back on that night).They ARE illegal,before you ask.Either Zoom or HPi did a review of these,and hairspray,an official "plate-blocker" spray and one other equally dodgy item:the plate cover was the only one that scored above 5% efficiency(I think it was around 93-95%!)at blocking side on image taking(not just "flash")-the whole image disappears! Your call:it's your dollars/points.And,no,I wont post pics-from "dead-on",you and everyone will see his # plate!!

I thought flashes occur in daytime also.

And yeah since it's to protect the plate against photos I would only want it to be blocking the plate on the photo.

I would never use the obscuring license plate cover - may as well just take the plate off entirely (as a cop can see both just as easily).

aparently "PhotoBlocker" the spray got no law behind aka, cops cant bust u. or can they? does anyone know more abt this?

cos from wat i head, u cant have a palate over ur number plate covering it. but a spray? that aint no plate my friend

Anything that obstructs or obscures the numberplate is illegal. No matter what state you live in.

The numberplate frames that block the plate from an angle is just asking to be be busted. Parking police will notice it when they are doing their rounds and they can write you a ticket and report you. I have used the photo blocker spray and it DOES NOT WORK. I took before and after pics with my digital camera and it was the same. I think the new numberplates (in NSW) have a coating that does not make these products effective.

correction,. the rule says hte number plate should be visible to the naked eye at anyime (if its night obv with a light on it) aka. with the place u cant. the spray well, the plate is visible to the naked eye at all times

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
