Ok,

The story goes like this...received my photo in the mail today, ran red light. I remember this day clearly because I jammed hard on the brakes when realised the light had gone from amber to red. When the photo was taken, my car was clearly over the line (with brake lights on). BUT, I did not cross the intersection, I actually reversed back and waited for the green light again. My question is should I write in to contest this as I technically did not follow through. Anyone have any experiences on the technicalities on this scenario?

Cheers

Jon

P/S have held a clean record for the last 4 years.

chances are slim to none...the law is that you cannot go past that line as that is the point of "safely stopping" I doubt contesting will do any good...having said that it's unlikely contesting it will do you any worse...it will take a bit of time to get a court date and go in..but in the end you havent really lost anything other than some of your time.

I remembered someone told me once that when they take a photo of you running a red light, they take one after u cross the initial line and another photo when you cross to the other side? My brake lights were on as well, which prooves I was pretty much stationery, otherwise I would have just went right through

Something similar happened to my uncle I believe. He wrote to them and got them to check the next couple of frames after or something and in the end they realised he'd stopped and reversed back. Sorry I can't remember exactly, it was a while ago. Worth a shot though I reckon.

All the red light camera photos I've seen from a cop down south is that it takes 3 photos... one as you've triggered it, then another 2 every 2 seconds or something after it's triggered.. but I know there is about 3/4 photos taken.

It's worth a try, if you can see your brake lights on in the photo, it's obvious you were making an attempt to stop.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
