If all they really want to do is slow people down and not generate revenue then surely it cant be illegal to warn others of the position of speed cameras because all you are doing is saving lives

i like ur thinkin!!

this thread is gold. The only ones i see around are on the freeway so far away from home cbf.

Around my area (Warrandyte South/Ringwood/Croydon Hills/Chirnside Park) there is a off-duty policeman that parks in multiple places around our area in a Holden Ute ( used to be red now its white) - someone said there just citizens, but thats not the case all the time!

I got done 12am saturday morning 63 in a 60 zone..............................

brilliant! very funny thread...

I miss the good old days when the cameras were those big blue boxes 10 metres out in front of the car and it was sooo easy to spot them... everyone would be flashing their lights ets... those sneaky dash mounted ones are bloody hard to spot if they are parked on the same side of the road as your driving...

i routinely see these traffic cars parked illegally on the footpath etc (eg Barkers rd in front of Carey on footpath).

We should start a 'mobile speed camera car' database - see em, snap em, post em :)

not a bad idea ronin..

re: the legality of warning people - they might try and pull some you're not allowed to advertise / post signs if you do not have something from the council to say you are allowed ? dont know if they could exactly fine you for it though

They're still blue, theyr'e still big (about the size of 2 large shoe boxes on top of each other), they're still deployed a few metres in front of the car (they toyed with nudge-bar mounted flashes but they were scrapped) and they're still FLASH UNITS, not cameras!

But, it isn't always used nowadays, if the light level is good why stick a flash out there?

Other than the tripod mount, which is almost never used, the camera has always been in the car and on the dash.

The company that runs the speed cameras is a private company, but must have the equipment pass stringent tests regularly *B ullshit!*

They're contractors to the government that's why they get revenue from who they catch

effectively a renta-mob

ive done the exact same thing before...

on nepean highway in aspendale.. and it was a magna aswell!!!!

it was probably about a year ago, on a satday afternoon and me and a mate saw him, so we went home and painted in big red letters 'speed camera ahead' on a piece of cement sheeting, then we snuck up and leant it on the car parked behind the magna...

then we sat up the street and watched the brake lights of the all passing cars go on!!!!

we were laughing for ages... im sooo glad i did it...

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
