Hi. Can somebody tell me how to find out from the photographic evidence of speeding from WA, if the vehicle which triggered Multinova has been traveling forward or away from the camera? There is no "F" or "A" letter like they have in eastern states on their pictures, just something like "-" (minus) or "~" in front of the speed (number). There are two cars in the photo. Mine traveling away and the other towards the camera in the further line pretty much at the same angle to the camera, so I am wondering if it wasn't the other car which was speeding and mine was photographed instead. Thanks.

Picture is of the back of my car. But there is front half of the other car right next to mine in the background which I guess might have triggered the camera as well. Unless they can set up the camera to be triggered just for in/out coming traffic without being affected by the other direction. In that case, there should be a mark on the photo, I would say.

Yeah, so what if it was set up for traffic coming towards the camera and I got in the way. There is no room to put the camera on the other side of the road and they might have wanted to measure the other line… Even if it was me, it’s just 7km over the limit and my first fine ever, so with all the respect I don’t need to hear “don’t speed” advice. But I don’t want to pay for something I haven’t done, if that’s the case.

Why would they send you the fine then?

The multinovas do not work like that.

You just admitted you were speeding. Don't speed again. Simple :(

So according to you EVERY single fine issued is correct. Cameras are ALLWAYS set up correctly according to the manual. NEVER affected by “environment” – other moving objects and so. You surely don’t believe that…

I didn’t admit I was speeding. But EVEN if I was, I don’t need “don’t’ speed” advice. I was questioning information which should be part of the photographic evidence not my driving. So please keep to the topic. Thanks.

Ok man. You're the boss

apply to have your day in court. let us know how it goes :(

Actually Dan, my old boss when i was setting up water tanks used to be one of those guys that sat with the speed camera, and he told me that they have had the technology to use camera's that can focus and take pictures on both directions for years. It is only in the last couple of years that they have started utilizing that technology on the streets.

So it is very possible that this camera was one that can focus on both directions, and the OP was unlucky to be caught instead of the other guy.

I do have to say it is highly unlikely though, the camera is set up so that it gets a complete picture of your car. If the other car was just a little bit in the picture, then it was you that was speeding, otherwise there is no way that it got a complete picture of your car and only a fragment of the other car

Are you sure he didn't mean "they can use the cameras forward or rear facing"?

If you are correct then the OP could just arrange to view and discuss the fine here:

Infringement Management and Operations

2 Wellington Street, East Perth

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday 8am–3.45pm.

(08) 9222 1408

I'm sure the local police officer will explain it for him :(

Hanaldo, i think they have those over east but not here in WA.

They will have very soon 'rear facing cameras' that are compliant for catching speeding motorbikes

That is very possible, he did used to live in Melbourne and he didn't mention where he was living when that was his occupation. So quite possible that it is only in the eastern states, although i don't see why they would use it over there and not over here?

go in and say it was the other vehicle in the photo that was speeding

the burden of proof is on them to find out which car in the photo was speeding

i bet both vehicles got an infringement sent out

i got done a while ago in my truck and i wasn't speeding there was 1 other vehicle in the photo i went in and viewed the evidence and denied it was me and the fine was canceled

Was the other vehicle heading in the other direction?

brad they have had these cameras for years now, and have been using them in W.A for the past 2-3 years. Normally they just turn around the normal speed camera so it gets your rear number plate and not your front.

Also i was under the impression that if another vehicle which is traveling in the same direction as you is in the photo that the fine would not be issue

    • The plan is to get it out of the shed. The reality may fall some way short. But hope is as cheap as despair as they say. Will go a wide band I think. The coils are ok so maybe I’ll miss the $1500 on the R35 coils etc. Im still on the fence about a trigger kit. The HKS one looks nice ($1k) - not sure how it works with the Link or if Link prefer something else. Oil pressure is fine so I’m not that concerned there. Fuel pressure I’ll have a think about. The IAT got changed for the Link anyway as the old RB26 ones were really slow reacting and pretty poor. The Power FC just worked. Wasn’t terribly refined but it just worked. Probably made a mistake replacing it really. E85 isn’t available locally - it is 100+ kms away which puts it in the too hard basket. Lastly I understand Tunecorp in Perth are pretty good so was probably going there.   As for turbos is there are new age -5 drop in replacement? Turbos have come a long way in 20 years, everyone is big single which is fair enough but I prefer the old school complication of twins. Wasn’t chasing more power (well, not much more) but more efficiency would be ok.
    • I thought I'd share this....the shell is non genuine but they found or built a lot of the genuine parts. Plus, it is by far the best colour scheme of those years, the winfield once was particularly shit https://www.v8sleuth.com.au/written-off-inaugural-godzilla-recreated/
    • Good work Pete and glad the car held up well....been a while since I've seen you try properly
    • Just quick update, I've had tech issues and so a backlog on life stuff....I will pull lap times from the video and data from the ECU logs to do a proper update. But basically, in order of importance: 1. The car was excellent fun on the track, really felt a lot like the good old days. And nice to have AC while waiting 2. Coolant got really hot; again I need to pull and analyse the logs but the standard system is not up to tracking at 30o+ days, once the system was heat soaked after the first 2x15min sessions I could only do 3 laps before it got 110+ and I had to cool down. If I can't improve that it is a deal breaker 3 Oil temps were fine all day, noting it was short sessions due to 2. I think it will likely need work 4 Biggest surprise AT temps were fine, never went over 100, I would have been OK with 120 before I was too concerned. The auto sucks compared to a manual (of course) but it is faster to launch and I just need to downshift it manually before hitting the throttle, then it was OK. When I post the vids you'll hear it telling me off (beeping) for trying to downshift too early (it needs about 3500 before it will downshift, depending on gear a little but we are mostly talking 3/2 and 4/3) 5 A052s were not great which hurt the lap times, but I will be constrained in what I can get in good tyres that fit the wheel wells. These were small for a heavy car at 235/45/18. In theory I can fit 9.5 on front and 10.5 rear (so not square) but I still need 670mm+ high tyres in good brands. 6 Standard shocks/springs/roll bar are too soft for track work (of course), but that was always on the list. And happily, no white on the mat, despite having a teenaged passenger, extinguisher mount was fine. Also, it was nice to have Wakefield Park back in action  . Because the car was so quiet it is eligible for Green Day, which I thought was a band but is apparently a series of cheaper practice days they run with a lower sound limit, that is a smart idea.  
    • Great to hear you are bringing it out of the shed again. Unless you have specific issues I'd just add the wideband, get a good tune and enjoy it. Certainly no point changing coils etc if they are working. If would add fuel pressure and e85 sensor if you are doing a general update but not if it runs OK and you are just getting it back on track. The other thing is smaller, modern twins, -5 are OK for motorsport but pretty laggy and old tech for street use (of course, if performance is the priority a modern single with twin scroll manifold etc is the go but not cheap). The final thing worth considering is switching to an ethrottle if drivability is still an issue, it should make things a lot simpler and smoother
