They use a red filter over the flash at night time so the driver’s night vision isn’t reduced.

Trust me, when they take your picture of your car, the number plate is a white Haze/glare... its when the put the photograph to its opposite colours i.e. showing the negative of it, that is when they read you numbers on your number plate nice and clear.

Does anyone know of any license plate protectors to protect it from radical bright random flashes which occur on the side of the road?

if u guys dont know this site, u can thank me later but have a read everyweek it will save u and ur well loved lincense.

these are the official speed cam locations, u dont know what tme they "erect" it up for raping. but its worth a notice of caution when driving on the listed roads.

u can get plates covers but cops WILL RAPE u more if they see it, they work 100% but they are very obvious. PS this post did not come from me :rolleyes:

why didnt we get it from you..  

Why would you get in trouble

And does anyone know any other method of protection other than radar detectors

Apparently spray a whole can of hair spray over the plate was something that used to work! don't myself, not tried.

erm .... don't speed? :rolleyes: Or at least stay within 5 to 10 km/hr of the speed limit.

And as for 140 km/hr in an area that is either 60 or 70 km/hr, that is just madness and you deserve all you get. You could easily kill innocent people doing that, as well as youself - keep it on the track. (To admit you don't even know the speed limit, shows you had no intention of even trying to stay near the limit.)

Just thought you might like some grumpy-old-git input!

Cheers.

radar detectors are good but useless if ur doing 20km over or more, i got one its pretty shit, gives me about 20-50m notice, usually 2-3 sec to slow down b4 i see one in sight, im planning to upgrade it once i have money. any1 wanna buy it :rolleyes: whistler 1670.

all speed cam are Ka band, hard to pick up, lowed powered, always planted around bends, and pointed at low height ( usually at ur front plate where its highly reflective) soo u either get alot of false alarm for good radar detectors or shit range for cheapers ones. ;)

The cameras are set at the speed limit plus 10%.  ie  80km/h zone camera set at 88km/h, 100km/h zone camera set at 110km/h.  Then 1km/h gets droped off the recorded speed to allow for any allegation of camera error.

Keep your speed under the the 10% and you'll be right.

or... you could always do the speed limit in the FIRST PLACE!!!

was just done a few days ago, doing around 76 in a 60 zone :S

all because I wanted to get back at an arsehole in a 4wd tail gating me for the past 5km, so I decided to put some distance between me and him... 200 meters later red flash.

I can only guess 3 points and $150?

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

dam i go to murdoch uni nearly everyday in my s13 and have never spotted a camera near karel ave, or on south street for that matter, musta not be concentrating enough.

but without a roe hwy overpass, and all that construction, south street is so spammed with trucks u hardly get over 30k's anyway. :P

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
