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

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
