its been covered on myth busters on abc, it doesnt shit

Saw this, nothing at all worked, even some huge contraption they stuck on the roof with rotating mirrors couldn't affect radar or lidar. Australia uses lidar I believe.

Rotating number plate sounds interesting haha, is it really worth it though? Easier not to be a dick on the streets.

Yer I heard that hairspray doesn't work on speed cameras.

but the things about speed cameras are, if you've been past that road before and know it's there, just slow down for 100 metres or so and speed up again if you want.

My friend bought an interesting device from taiwan that fits above the number plate.

It's basically some type of light sensor with a flash attached to it. If it detects a flash (from the first flash of a speed camera) it will flash itself and the numberplate is hidden. Cops wont' see it either. He tested it out with a normal hand held camera and it worked, but with red-eye reduction the sensor got confused with the multiple flashes.

there are speed sensor lines in the road 3 ithink these measure distance over time to get speed reading once you past these sensors you can put your foot down except the ones in wollongong these ones use radar this is for fixed speed cameras. keep an i out for the lines

I've seen it, and i didnt know it was on the car (it was parked) and when i was walking it drew my attention sooo much, then i realised what it actually was, if i could see this that easily, imagine if you had a cop behind you how easily they could see it. Its really not worth it guys, best bet is not to speed at all, but if you have too dont do it where you know cameras are usually.

I wonder if you could dodgey something up to work like those welding masks with the liquid crystal clear faces that go black when you start to weld.

Only work at night i guess but, most of the times i got done were at night.

Basically not taking notice...72 in a 60...doh..in a celica ! 3am on a Sunday night....Sheeeeeeite !

There was some device i saw on an old top gear episode a while ago that is originally used for an automatic garage opener.

You place the little sensor near you front number plate and when the sensor detects a radar signal it sends its own signal back and thus causing whatever sent the original signal out to get a error reading. You could even hook up a LED inside the car so you would know when it was operating. I think this was only usefully on the hand held radars the cops use on the side of the road tho.

I did a search on this when i first saw it on top gear and found 1 place in the UK selling it for 200 Pounds plus shipping!!

Its just as easy to hit the brakes as it is to hit a switch and flip your plates, obviously you'd have to see the camera or know its there anyway, whats the point?.. unless you're planning on doing some mountain sprints for a few hours.. and even then, if a cop is sitting behind some trees waiting for you, no switch is going to save your ar5e anyway.

Probably only good for when you're at a meet/cruise and some n00b takes a pic of your car and posts it up plates and all..

from what I have seen, those sprays do nothing.

There is however a little divice called the road angel, which kind of works like sat-nav, except it has all the fixed speed camera locations in it's memory, and every time you approach a speed camera, it warns you so you can slow down for it.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
