i was driving tonite and it was raining .. anyways not light rain but not heavy rain either .. sorta in between if i can remember, well maybe a bit less than that .. anyways ... i'm really concentrating on the road cause its raining ... so then i look at the speedo and it says i'm going over 75 ... give or take ... so then i'm thinkin .. shit thats a bit fast especially cause its raining and step of the accelerator... then i look in my rear view mirror then i see a flash ... **** ... anyways there was another car behind me ... a commodore station wagon ... and he got busted 2 ... so there was 2 flashes in like second ... so yeah i'm wondering if these radar detectors work???

Im pretty sure they do give a indication of police presence... They give u good detection of a camera stuck on the front of a car for both directions and for hte laser I heard that it detects it when it's being pointed on you, so u basically have bugger all time to slow down 2 hte speed limit. If ur goin really fast.. handbrake turn and back the other direction in a hurry!

I was thinkn (cos i tend 2 hav a heavy foot sometimes) goin down 2 rocca's and fittin one of those speed warning things. Dunno what they're worth but it can't be too much

Start at $180 all the way up to $999. The cheaper they are the less warning you get, about 2 seconds from my last cheapy. Pretty useless really. A heap of false alarms to. I would reccomend buying a Bel. You will need to spend at least $400 tho to get any useful sort of warning and minimul false alarms. They work in the same way as the sensor eye in your tv and vcr that picks up your remote. The cheaper Detectors have a internal oscilator that can be picked up by the police radar detector detectors (VG2). They still claim to be undetectable, because when they sense they are being detected they cloak themselves by switching of the internal oscilator. This doesn`t work all of the time as I have experienced( and had my detector taken and been fined for the illegal use of a police detection device). The more expensive Bel brand radar detecters don't have and internal oscilator at all, therefore are totally undetectable.

All Bels are detectable by Stalker detector detector.

If you buy a cheap one, be prepare to pay fine and face confiscation. If you are serious then you need to get expensive one :(

Do a little bit more research and you will see the good one

Ur whistler has not been detected does not means that it's not detectable. missnismo be careful about using it on the highway. They tend to use stalker on highway patrol cars.

Good luck

Hippy yes the cops do use radar detector detector...more so in VIC and NSW. The latest one is designed in Australia called Stalker. It's been around for a couple of years now and will detect all kind of radar detector. However there is always exception :burnout: just do a search on the net and call around :P

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

      Crank Motorsports Front Axles

      I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha.

      Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
