If your asking whether they can book cars travelling in the opposite direction then the answer is yes. The question is whether there were any other cars travelling in either direction at the time the flash went off. Theoretically they are supposed to ditch the image if there are 2 or more cars in the photo. Might be worth paying to see the photo if you think that is the case.....assuming you get an infringement notice.

there was another car next to me, are there any other factors which may play in my favour? the roads not being at the same level? the side of the raod i was on slopes down so i dont know about alignment of the cameras, the fact i have a highly reflective "bull bar" on my ute?

They wont book you over a 4-lane road. (2 going each way)

If it was a two lane road then yes. But if the camera is on one side, and you are 4 lanes over then it wasnt you.

I know this as i spoke to a camera operator about a similar situation and he said it would be unlikely and not normal practice to get something 4 lanes over

Unfortunately it does happen, whether it's supposedly normal practice or not. Totally at the discretion of the enforcement office. My wife has a ticket to prove it, but fortunately she got off as it was a first offence and we wrote them a letter explaining the situation.

If there's another car in the photo, you shouldn't get a ticket. If you believe there was (another car) then it might be worth paying to view the photo.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
