hey has anyone turned just the k-band off? ive had my detector for around 2 months, and the k-band false alerts are really pissing me off, k-band has never saved me. ive driven past multiple unmarket cars/marked cars and cop stations and the detector has never beeped anything. ive read up somewhere that for the detector to pick up a cop car they have to be using they're radar at the time or something, is this the only time that k-band will go off legitimatly?

ps. laser and ka-band work fine.

is this right?

-ka band = only multinovas, (and maybe cop cars ?)

-laser = only handheld's

-k band = a shitload of false alrets is what ive only seen

x band = not needed in WA so its turned off

has any1 turned off kband without any probs?

cheers !

roof mounted detectors.. never heard of them before and i probably dont wanna see one :laughing-smiley-014:

are roof mounted detectors like multinovas (just get you for speeding?)

and in the country r u talking bout bunbury and albany ect. ?

Don't turn K-band off, I had a squad car light me up with K-band on Guildford Rd not long ago. And it's fkn awesome for highway and country driving. You should, after a while, get to know what is a false alert and what's not.

K - in-car radar and automatic doors, doesn't bother me when it falses.. just keeps me on my toes. (Possibly also some industrial alarm systems transmit on this frequency too)

Ka - multinovas

Laser - self explanatory

X - not used here.

Yes, you can turn each band off.

As for where to buy them, I got my Pro-78 from radars.com.au, they're in Morley and the dude is a great bloke to deal with.

    • Pete knows these cars well, he does my car too, if he was concerned about the traction arm length for your use he would have said so. Do you have adjustable bushes in that arm, maybe he got enough adjustment there (or maybe the bump steer was not material for your use of the car)
    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
