The part I usually travel from Kardinya to Canning Vale is 70km/h. Couple of times I have seen coppers staking out next to Caltex Station(Opp murdoch uni).

i got caught on the east side of the fwy (other side of murdoch).. just b4 the bullcreeek shops ... i havent been caught in a long time .. hence i didnt know about the red flash.... ahh well.. guess i better prepare to face the music

I thought speed traps were rare along South Street..guess i'm wrong. At night it's seems just like a nice road to go abit faster....

What rock are you guys living under??

As far as i knew multinova's always had red flashes at night, well they have for at least 3 years or more.

the multiple 70km/h limit signs on south street, are enforced fairly regularly as its next to murdoch cop shop.

Buy a radar detector mines very handy.

140 *anywhere* in WA will result in a decent sized fine and license suspension, but double the speed limit might hurt..

i know of someone who got done for 170 on the freeway (100 part), got a $500 fine and 6 months.

yeah as far as i can remember its been red at night and white in day....

when you get the fine what you can do is go check the photo to see if it was you...

doesnt do much but its kind of fun seeing yourself or the car...

Do radar detectors pick up multinovas?

They do, most times very well too! But sometimes your reaction has to be quick as you could have alot of traffic round you and it goes off as you pass them or when your detector catches a bit of the signal.

Mine also tells me when there are emergency vehicles round and road works!

*knocks wood* I've paid mine off many times now! Saved we heaps, specially with laser!

speed cameras have been using red flashes for quite some time now at night.

I think this was done so that the bright white light cant be reflected off of the number plates making them hard or impossible to read?

I think it is also done so that you aren't blinded by a white light and have a crash and then blame the police for the accident.

i'll give you some facts so you know whats coming coz its happened to me...

45+ over the limit is recklace/dangerous driving

i got done for 180+ in a 100 zone (camera) and got pulled into the cop station about 7 months later and filled out the thing about the mods on my car and the time of day and the weather and the condition of the road and whether it was night or day and all the stuff and whether i had done driver training coarses and all the stuff and i filled it out accordingly and they decided that i should only get done for speeding 6 points and 350 bux.... if your on Ps be prepared not to get this happen as you will just get a court summons... as for letting me fill out something that let me explain the situation... and i explained that i realised it was the most stupid thing i had done and all the that which got me off... i dont know whether it happens anymore... as my other couple of mates it has happened to just got court summons's but they were on P's.

yeh red is wat they use at nite

south street is 70 most of the way then 60 down near freo

there is ALWAYS a speed camera on south street just up from Karel Ave exit i should no coz i passed that way everyday to work so youd have to be stupid to think they wouldnt put speed cameras on south st especially seeing as they can make so much money from ppl going 80 instead of 70

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
