Just drove past a dark blue Commodore wagon on the side of the road with a little flash/floodlight looking thing hanging off the front bumper, no sign, no big ass box with legs, nothing.

So we finally have them in WA, saw them over east last year, they get your rear plate as u go by. :ghost:

Sorry the photo i took didnt come out, had to steer and all and it just got out of hand.

Hey i thought this deserved a thread, bit of a heads up for all the ppl who like to do 63 in a 60 zone.

Speaking of speed cameras...has anyone experienced not getting a fine because of going too fast? I was slightly over the limit running a commode and saw the flash and got no fine....lets just say I was no where near the posted limit...

I think you have to be doing well over 300kmh for this to happen... maybe they are just really slow with sending the fines out. It took 4 months before I got one once

Yeh they wait until u think they are not coming and uve gotten away with it. Then one day ure having anice sleep in and one of ure haouse mates comes in and says

"theres someone at the door for you"

"what!!, tell em to piss off!!"

"i think its a cop"

"huh wha??!?!?!?!?!" :confused:

Pull on a shirt and walk out front.

"Are you Mr *****?"

"ahh yeh"

"im here to take ure license"

"ahh crap, here ya go........... ahhhhhh, thanks have a nice day"

Not that ive ever done that though :thumbsup:

ohhh I remember seeing one of these driving near the east perth traffic building about 3 weeks ago and wondering what it was

:thumbsup:

Does a decent radar detecter pick up these new fun stoppers?

Good question, when i pulled up behind it i saw that it had a bit of gear in teh cargo bay. I assume that is the reader and the camera is on the front, if so yeh it should be picked up. There is of course the possibilty that its a LADAR and that its snap shots u when u have gone past in which case i doubt the detector will see it. Its all guess work really as ive only ever seen one once in victoria and that was as i flew past, and rubbernecked thinking wtf??

Who knows could just be a plate reader doing surveys or something. Was definately a cop car though.

I wasnt home when they came for me .... we are talking about the men in the white coats arent we?

Nah I got a nice little card from the infringments and prosecutions section or whatever they are called - so i rang up and this old man told me rather nicely that i have to go hand in my license. ;)

have you seen the new cameras that are placed in the rear of a car... this will get you if you are approaching too fast and then realise it is a cop car in front of you... the main reason for why you did not get an infringement notice when being flashed the camera could not detect which one of you were speeding as they can only fine one of you even if it is believed that both were exceeding the limit... also it comes down to the angle that you were passing each other and the camera as the camera works on a maximum of 22 degrees from the road edge

hmm this might pick up motorcycles too then, cos they cant get picked up from the front right?

more revenue crap then.

chowe u mention about the 22 degrees thing? i'm sure that a three-lane road on say, the freeway is like, 22 degrees some 50 metres away... not sure if that's within the range for a camera. so how does that work then..?

How does this work? I thought they didn't introduce the "owner onus" laws here? I thought they still had to prove who was behind the wheel?

No that has changed Cam. They dont care who was driving - its the car owners responsibility to say who the driver was now if it wasnt them

Sh1t.. When did that change? What happens to all the small business owners with fleet cars out on the road? Do they have to take the points if they can't work out which one of their workers was driving the car? What happened to innocent until proven guilty? So they don't car who was driving - they just want the $ obviously...

Yet another reason for me to say Perth laws are a maggot on the polished turd called our freedom here in Oz.. You can't do anything in this town without some idiot telling you how to do it "safely".

For example - my gf wasn't allowed to take 10 bricks she bought from a brickyard unless she tied a rope in front of them so they couldn't slide forward and covered them. So she put a piece of nylon in front and a tshirt over the bricks. How the f*k is that safe? Why should someone be telling her how to do transport 10 bricks? Apparently it's a law in Perth?

f*kin stupid F*kers... We're all being brainwashed. Perth will be a true old person's retirement town within the next 10 years. Mark my words!

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
