hey all. just wanted to pick peoples brains. I'm just trying to figure out if the car mounted speed 'safety' cameras that hide in the trees and other area's you cant see them have the same flash set up that fixed camera's have?

Ive just never seen any operate late and night and was curious.

I think i got done near the ingle farm shops on Montague road at 1am this morning. Car was hiding in the trees, the flashes were about 3 seconds apart which i think was too long (compared to the fixed ones)

im sure i was really endangering life doing 67 in a 60 zone at 1am on a cold drizzly night. maybe the rain will give a false reading:)

im guessing i def have been done but never noticed the car ones operating late at night (i bet the driver wasnt even in the car, it was probably parked out the front of his house and he wasn't in the car)

One time bedding in brakes down the lonsdale highway I went from 100 to 40 pretty hard, looked up and there was a cop car in the bushes dead ahead of me, went past and got a couple of flashes a few seconds apart and absolutely shat myself, to this day no fine (about a year) so probably was just a cop giving you a warning.

Yep, they defs flash at night but not during the day, not sure how far apart the flashes are but it sounds about right

The newer ones that you see on the camrys with the long black bar take an IR photo and do not flash.

Sorry for the (slight) necro but thought it important to clear up that they can now take flashless photos.

And here's a scary one that exists but luckily not in Australia yet!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      Hi guys, Sorry to butt in and take it slightly off course, although still on the VCAM subject.  I had VCAM put into my Tomei 2.8 bottom end and I struggle to take off because the engine has very little torque caused by VERY low dynamic compression at 60psi. But once off the mark and especially on boost, the engine rev happily all the way to 8000rpm and makes 630hp at 20psi of boost on E85 at the rear hubs. Has anyone had any similar experience or any suggestions on what might cause this low compression at low rpm? I am in the process of converting it into a 8hp transmission and with this low torque, the engine would not even stay running until the throttle is opened to more than 30% and then I loose all vacuum.

      Shockabsorber 101

      By Watermouse · Posted

      Last year I got a set of MCA street coilovers for my turbo Forester after my son hitting a concrete gutter/wall on a small bridge causing the whole drivers side suspension to get bent because the rain just made the car slide out I love them, I think they were $2400. even had a hiccup of have the wrong hub configuration (my fault) so got onto MCA and they sent the correct shock ends overnight parts from QLD, for free!  I was very impressed with their customer service and quality of the product

      High temp brake fluid?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.
