In light of recent thefts of number plates, and the ever increasing risk of speeding tickets, you guys might be interested in these (if you have not already seen them)...

Another site claims their plates can't be flash-photographed...

Good point about the first one is that when you park your car, ppl can't see your plates. Also at the flick of a switch neither can a camera... :rolleyes: If you want to take photo's of your car, easy to switch off your plates, so lowers risk of identification and theft...

nutz!! i but at ~$600 its a bit steep.. i was always after something like that..

Thing is - like radar detectors, these will very quickly be banned and massive fines attached if they catch on. The govnermnet don't wanna lose all that millions and millions of dollars it gets each year and the whole massive program it has going. Cops these days are glorified tax collectors, nothing more.

Apparently the only reason the VIC budget is currently in surplus is due to revenue raising through traffic infringements. If this is the way the government has to keep the state's economy going well **** them.

hmmm... i just thought of something?? polarising film .. not gonna cost you $600..

but still, if the camera can't see it, neither can a nearby cop - and that means he's gonna dick you for it.. obscuring a number plate was funily enough, increased to loss of 3 points and (i think) $165 fine recently - where once it was just a monetary fine.

Yep... thought about polarising film... The point of this is that you can leave it switched on while driving (just flick it under bridges etc.) and as long as cops aren't tailing you (and if they were you wouldn't be speeding), you'll be safe.

Also, if you take your rego sticker off (temporarily) as well, you can park illegally and you can't be booked...

I was unaware that they made it a 3 pt offence to have your plate obscured thoguh... Cvnts... :rolleyes: I guess it's only if you get caught though...

guys... half the camera's that are in use in melbourne metro and sydney metro now use the laser assisted cameras. No more polarising film and fly spray tricks. If you don't get a speeding ticket then you've probably just been hit by one of those old ones.

Laser assisted cameras basically shoots out laser rays instead of light, and as laser lights are polarised (is that the term, well they don't vary in frequency) the chances of them being scattered are well... 1 in half the surface area of a sphere... plus parralel rays will not negate or interfere with other rays (unlike white light which goes in all directions).

They trialled one on Carlingford road in Epping/Carlingford, Sydney and as a result on the first day of operation they caught about 40 people. Most of them speeding in groups. Oh yeah, being lasers they operate at higher frequencies as well, meaning they can take the pics quicker.

Technology is catching up...

Also since this thread is balancing on the fine line of legality (and we don't condone illegal behaviour)... keep it legal and it won't dissapear.

Guys can someone explain to me how speed cameras work. Just say in a multi lane road two cars are travelling. Car A is travelling legal limit and car B travelling 10kph over legal limit. Car A and B pass the camera at the same time. How does the camera know which car to book. If someone can explain this to me I would be so grateful. Not sure how these things work.

    • Oh and my rear arms may need some attention too.    
    • Bushings are almost done. Check the date stamp 😂 these are likely the original bushings with 27 years and 243ks on them.     Was too dark to get a pic of the worst one.
    • Porous blocks are a known issue on something like a Porsche M96, it's not really something I've ever heard of on an RB26. It's possible what people thought was a "porous block" was really a cracked block that they just didn't spot the crack on.
    • This is a controversial subject really, the whole power vs fun thing I mean And this is the main reason I got back into a MX5 Of the last few notable daily cars I've owned whilst I have frequented SAU R33 GTS-t: fun, but because I'm a idiot I modified well past a reliable fun car and ended up hating it, although that was my fault because I tried to have a daily cruiser and race car all in one, the family called it the sometimes car, because sometimes it was working, sometimes it was broken, gladly sold it NB MX5: brilliant car, thrashed the Bejebus out of it, but, again, was stupid and deleted the air con, power steering and stripped the interior out, whilst still fun, and reliable, and super cheap on consumables, it was not a fun place to be going on long cruises, I did love it, but basically every family member hated going anywhere in it, sadly sold it 2015 WRX STI: soulless thing that looked like your average Kia sedan and had that horrible boxer engine with glass ringlands, the family did like it though, that thing was one of my stupidest purchases and I still regret it 2017 Toyota 86: 😪 if I didn't crash it, I would probably still have it, it was a fun little thing, even with that horrible boxer engine, the family did like it, the only reason I didn't get another 86, or, BRZ was the boxer engine, I should have learnt after owning the STI, but I'm a idiot VX SS: great cruiser, fits the whole family, and was fast as.....in a straight line, but a big fat thing, so no enjoyment throwing it around corners, the family was unimpressed with the whole boganness of if, but they did admit it was a comfy place to sit on long cruises As for the NC, I feel it is perfect for what I want, or need out of of a car, whether I'm cruising the Hwy, back roads, twisties or peak hour traffic, the Mrs doesn't mind driving it either, or cruising in it as well, although she does bump her head of the roof nearly every time she gets in, which is farking hilarious, and the kids love taking it for a thrash as well So basically, I've had constantly more fun, and way less headache and heartache, both on the track and on the street, in low powered cars,  go figure.....LOL One thing though, the Mrs has stated that the cams have made the exhaust sound much louder, which they have, but it doesn't bother me, in fact, I actually like it, but, to negate any future comments from the Minister for War and Finances I may look at some changes to the rear muffler set-up to drop the volume down a tad to appease her when we are out and about in it
    • You will need to extend the turbo inlet pipe somehow, which could/might be done with silicone/rubber pipe, but might need steelwork, depending on your intake. And you will need to change the pipework on the outlet in teh same way, but this is more likely to need steelwork.
