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

      That's awesome. Fully serviced/full log book history for one of those cars is super rare from what I know. With JDM's like Skyline's, Supras, are quite hard to find one with full log book history. S15's seem to be somewhat of an exception, at least the spec s australian delivered models.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      Hey all, It's been a bit since I have been able to update.  I pulled the fuel pump, first off it was a "universal" pump and the strainer was very clogged, and it was folded over on itself.  I replaced the fuel pump and all is well....  No more stalling.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?
