I need a new set as the last pair have gone missing, I can't find them online, google was no luck an smaller "auto" shops dont stock them.

I know they aren't legal :yes:

Has anyone seen a place with these in stock? Or does anyone want to sell their ones (if someone here has a set).

they dont even work....

mythbusters proved it....

My ones did, many times.

they looked like [[]]][[[]]][[] from an angle. A friend of my parents have a set on their 360 Modena, which still contuined to work :yes:

Leave my thread now with your lack of info :P

does the porker get upto speeds capable of going over the speed limit? :D

Officially on a forum no. Between you an I, yes :blink: sits on about 240-245kph in 4th, havent vmaxed 5th yet. The plate covers that looked like [[]]][[[]]][[] where on dads Range Rover, came in handy for him when he was working in brisbane...

These people are fools for believing a tv show.. Im aware the ones in the photo I posted dont work.. :down:

i x2 wanting to know where to get a set of these, in ireland they were everywhere, plus in every car shop you could also buy a spray can which wen sprayed on the plate did the same job but u had to respray everytime it rained or u washed the car which is how they made money, everyone bought like 10cans at a time lol and the cheap people (equivelant to boostlossers over here) used hairspray or sumtin instead but that never worked lol.

wonder if u laminated the plated would that work? lol

Hey Josh, how about I tease you with knowledge of a similar thing based on "smart film" that is triggered by certain "flashes" and using LCD sandwhiched in plastic goes completely opaque for 500 milliseconds making the plate invisible :)

Operates a bit like those really cool welders masks that go tinted when your strike the rod on the metal

considering sprays and films dont work mate. y not go a radar jammer. search youtube. they are about $200USD.

or buy a number plate with a convex GLASS lid.

thats about it.

if something could really do all this. dont u think there would be legislation against it?

pretty much everything but putting on a mates number plate has been proven a failure.

so which ones work?

have you tested them at fixed speed cameras?

I have used the ones like I said above, that look like this roughly <[[]]][[[]]][[]>, they worked on the older speed camera’s on the side of the road that you see in landcruiser’s ect. However all states now have new camera’s – no test on the inferred camera’s yet.

I haven’t tried the new fixed ones either, as I no longer have the covers.

As also said above, my parents friends still have the plate covers on their car, an no tickets and they don’t exactly drive the 360 slow either…

Wow, your a knob. Leave.

Hahaha "your a nob" "no your a noob" lol

Do you all think Mythbuster's are the be all end all of knowledge? I could shoot holes in many of their supposed certain conclusions, also do you think the septics would allow anyone to show how to beat thier speed cameras???

If you find these covers Josh send me a PM :O

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.
