Ok, i m fxxking tired of receiving fines for speeding, WHY in 60 zone, driving 66 has to be fined?!

Solution, i go to get my navman, with speed and red light POIs, works really well, very happy till nowadays, red light is not only red light but with speed detector too and speed light also has red light function... and there are more and more cameras every where in melb, hidden, or cops hiding behind bushes...

i went to ebay, hope to find some camera or laser or any detector that might help me solve this problem, and found a prob...

from what i think....why not...i think all police everywhere almost using the same speed gun, or speed cameras. it does not concern regions. well thats what i thought anyway. speed gun or speed cameras in US has no different to Australia ones. well hopefully that helps.

simplest solution of all... DON'T SPEED!!!!!

also, unless you are in WA, detectors are highly illegal and the fine for using one runs into the $1000s

p/s: dont tell me to stop driving fast, its nearly impossible.

no it's not, everyone else seems to manage it, why the F**K can't you...

yea the detectors are illegal...

ok im not gonna tell you not to speed.. just leave your car in the garage and dont drive at all. if you cant be responsible on the roads and avoid the trouble of a fine, not to mention the risk you pose to others on the road, then start walkin!

Haha, if you think a fine for driving 6km/h over the limit is bad, buy a detector and see what the nice police officers do to you :)

The GPS devices that also warn about fixed speed and red light cameras are pretty cool, apart from adjusting your attitude they're your best hope.....

My mate had a detector in his car. The police have a radar detector detector and they will get you.

He got pulled over and the police said where is your detector ( it was really well hidden) he said he didn't have one.

They said we have the authority to pull your car apart and leave it by the side of the road and we will.

He showed them where it was. Can not remember the fine but it was huge.

yup.. detectors are illegal in all states except WA and maybe SA...

Melb speed/red light cameras are really bad... Syd isn't too bad.

The GPS device only shows where FIXED cameras are, but not mobile.. which I guess is the main problem.

Get 3 speeding fines more than 25km/h over the limit in a week and you wont have nothing to worry about anymore, makes you respect the speed limits real quick :)

Haha, gotta love how the moral majority latched onto this one. And fair enough too. By all means enjoy cranking ur car, just not down populated streets....

Remember: driving 40 kmh over the limit (anywhere in australia) constitutes a criminal offence!! Which means automatic loss of license, not to mention JAIL TIME!!

And for the Westerners on here, some interesting Trivia. Being a passenger in a vehicle that is speeding will get you done as an accessory! So unless you wanna say that your mate kidnapped you and refused to hear your pleas (which will get them into even more trouble!), best not fly around as a passenger either.

More interesting WA trivia: My good friend's Dad got fined for doing 82 in an 80 zone!! (Marmion Ave)

Cool, theres my 2 cents worth =p

yea must agree with that.

if you are in sydney youve got the eastern creek raceway or the dragway to test out your car.. LEGALLY.

if youve got the attitude where its "nearly impossible" not to speed, keep in mind that youre fcuking round on a road that we all have to share. if it was a member of your family who gets hurt coz someone decided they wanted to go over the speed limit, how the hell would you feel?

yea i know its a very stupid law...

about a year ago one of my friends got done for driving while on a suspended licence and my other friend also got done for being an accessory to driving while suspended or sumthing like that... lucky that the three other passengers in the car who shall remain nameless got out as soon as they saw the cops... the cops were waiting around the corner watching the car, the three passengers managed to get away but the driver n the other passenger couldn't make it n they got busted...

the driver now is serving a 5year licence suspention and him and the passenger are both on probation

      Current Oil Specials

      You're not wrong there Ash, greedy retailers trying to make a dollar. I say let them all bleed & see how they like it, surely they must be hurting by now. I have rarely walked into either of the big 3 auto stores, essentially purchased nothing all year. Have plenty stock to keep going, anticipating big Black Friday sales. I have also been considering swapping out my Aurion for something much taller (cos lower back issues) & super efficient but I just can't bring myself to flushing all that $$ for the sake of it, especially given the Aurion is still like a new car. Also concerned about leaving the very good safety of a car manufactured by Toyota for something a little unknown despite also being Japanese made. Then there's the ever changing landscape in the middle east which is excuse enough to instill fear into everyone from producers to stockbrokers to retailers and of course those that live there. Interesting times ahead for sure.

      Advice Please

      Welcome to the forum John, Depending on where you are your best option may be to get your existing alternator checked first to be totally sure that is the issue.The next if unable to find one suitable even on the aftermarket you may have to have that one rebuilt ..That may be your only option..I am sure somewhere there is one suitable but finding it is always the issue. I would get good advice from an AUTO ELECTRICIAN as they will have the inside knowledge of any sources that may able able to help you mate. KAA

      Current Oil Specials

      Times have changed post-COVID and no great bargain oil specials worth mentioning until now. Latest Repco catalogue has 50% discount Penrite Vantage Semi Synthetic 10W-40 Engine Oil 6L - VANSEMI10W40006. $35 for 6 litres is worth considering whether it will be applicable for your vehicle's engine and servicing requirements. Because most of my driving is short distance and as preventative measure against oil sludge, I use a comparatively short oil change interval between 3-6 months. It is a cost benefit decision. I use full synthetic for my long distance road trips. https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/engine-oils-fluids/engine-oil/penrite-vantage-semi-synthetic-10w-40-engine-oil-6l-vansemi10w40006/p/A9611158

      Advice Please

      I have an imported Hiace 200 with the 2.0l 1TR FE petrol, engine. There is a noise from the engine that i'm pretty sure is the alternator. I'm finding it difficult to source a new alternator at a reasonable price, It seems there are plenty for the 2.7 engine. Does anyone know if one of those would fit my 2.l engine. Thanks

      A Greenskin

      Hi Team Toyota, I am fortunate enough to be the proud owner of 2 Toyota's - an '03 Rav4 AWD Cruiser and an '07 Toyota Hiace. Both have been reliable and strong with incredible components that are so well fitted, it's a struggle to dismantle any part of them. I'm modifying my van and will probably have to sell the Rav to complete the project. I will look forward to learning much from you all and wish you all happy and safe motoring. Gidget

      Car Detailing Recommendations

      I recently came across Car Detailing Sydney, and they seem to be a great option for getting your car detailed around the area. I had my friend’s 2020 Camry detailed there, and it turned out fantastic—the shine was like it just rolled off the dealership lot. It cost about $400, and they were really thorough with both the exterior and interior. Definitely worth checking out if you want your Corolla looking fresh again.

      Landcruiser 200 GPS

      I got mine from GTzone, a 7-inch head unit for my 2018 Land Cruiser. I think all the aftermarket Android screens are very similar. My one from GTzone came with a GPS antenna, I believe the one from Brummstadt should include one as well. It has two options for using the navigation app, one is to insert a SIM card or share a hotspot from your phone to use the navigation apps, which uses the built-in GPS antenna, the other is to use the built-in Apple CarPlay system, which uses the phone’s GPS for navigation. In my case, because I always travel to the outback during my vacations, some areas have no signal at all. So, I downloaded offline maps from the Play Store to use for navigation, which doesn’t need internet during navigation and only uses the built-in GPS. It saves your phone’s power at the same time, I guess? So far, it has never failed me, never led me to the wrong roads, or shown me in ridiculous places like driving on a river LOL This is the product I mentioned above from GTzone, in case someone is interested: https://gtzone.com.au/products/toyota-landcruiser-200-series-2016-present-7-inch-wireless-carplay-android-auto-head-unit-navigation-bluetooth-wifi-head-unit

      300 series turbo issues

      We have a GR that had the 7th Injector replaced June 2024 (warning came up on dash Dec 2023 @ approx 18k) toyota cleaned injector in Jan when they inspected the problem and said parts will be 8 - 12 weeks (i dont know why so long for a common problem) but they advised to continue to drive / tow as normal. 3 months later parts arrived and they said they will complete job at june 2yr service interval. It was notated on paperwork torque bolts were re torqued. Today driving up blue mountains 70kmh to Katoomba towing 3.2T Zone RV van i experienced the turbo chirp on and off and the power dropping / surging. Lasted about 5-10 secs going up mountain but gave me a shock as havent experienced it before (hence the googling now and reading about previous issues) it didnt happen again but we arrived at caravan park 15 mins later and i didnt find a hill again with same steep incline as when it happened. In the 18 months of towing i havent experienced it before and car has been faultless. Todays trip was only fm Toowoon Bay to Katoomba so be interesting to see if it happens when we head to Bathurst in a few days on any steep inclines. Car is at 33k now. Currently 1 month into a 5 month trip.
