I was driving home from a cruise on the Gold Coast last Saturday night, well 3am Sunday morning. I was travelling behind my mate as we drove through a small town (50k zone) and there was this blue/white flash from a car parked on the side of the road. I think it was a small car, not a falcadore and there was no speed camera in use sign.

The flash appeared to be a bar of superbright LEDs from behind/in front of the windscreen. It didn't flash my mate in the car in front and we were both doing 70kph but it did flash my mates travelling 10 mins behind us.

Do you think it was the cops or was it some smartar5e playing with some kit he bought at Tandy?

well it could be anything really, cops dont have to use comodores or falcons, nor do they have to put a speed sign on the road anymore stating they are using a speed camera, casue as most people notice there are signs all over nsw stating speed cameras are used on nsw roads.

As much as I would like to think it was just a reflection it wasn't as I could see the individual cells of a flash bar. Do the cops use this type of flash? I've never seen it before but I've never seen the mobile cameras in operation without the 'speed camera in use' sign either.

How long does it take them to post out an infringement notice?

I guess I'll find out either way soon enough.

ell it could be anything really, cops dont have to use comodores or falcons, nor do they have to put a speed sign on the road anymore stating they are using a speed camera

but this ain't nsw..

in QLD I believe they still do.. everytime I have seen a speed camera it has had the sign. Sometimes, they make half assed attempts to hide it, but it's still there... I believe they should be there as they make people slow down on that section, which is the aim of the cameras.

    • 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.
