This is a pretty sensitive topic so I cant say much, but basically my recommendation is if you dont know what your doing dont get one. Me an my cousin have both been using RD's for awhile now, first time using one in a place sooooo illegal, there are products I DO recommend but for 140 your not going to get ANYTHING good especially since they will be detected by the cops and you'll get raped.

I like your input mate...

hahaha. Enough said.

they can pretty much ransack your car if they think you have one cant they?

Yep, as far as I know.

My off the record advice...if you buy one be willing to lose it. You might want to practice buying a couple and smashing them on the ground because that's what you'll have to do in 2 seconds if you ever see a cop give chase after detecting it.

I used to have one of these...the real deal ones cost a few hundred and you need to buy them from America. These will beep at service station automatic doors while you drive along the highway, and scream bloody murder if someone has a radar lock on you. Plenty of cops locked radar on me and they never detected my unit. But I kept it underneath a towel on the dash (cause you're just a f**kin idiot if you go showing it off like a G-tech), nearby and ready to throw out the window if I saw a cop get in his car or pull out on me. As illegal as they are, I don't believe they should be...they do the job that the cops should be doing, i.e. deterring speed instead of extracting revenue from it. If they put fake radars everywhere these people wouldn't speed...but the government wouldn't get cash :(

Can cops detect your car with a Radar Detector in it?

DO they have a detector to detect the detector..?

LOL!

As funny as this is, yes :(

And believe it or not people have come up with detectors to reveal their radar detector detectors. It stretches that far. As long as there is an infrared beam going out it can be detected!

Reminds me of that movie "The Big Hit". The trace buster buster buster!

Heck yes the do I'm pretty sure not all coppers are fitted with them but RDD's do exsist if you really want to 1-up them you can get a Radar Detector Detector Detector (RDDD) which will detect them trying to detect you.... I know it's confusing but there is a whole world of Radar Detection if your really intrested i recommended www.radardetector.net

They have probably all the info you need but with top of the line products (which you should be able to find with a couple Google clicks) you shouldnt have to worry about detection, also FYI if you do end up searching and comparing products Beltronics IS Escort, escort acquired them in 2000 they are known as Belscort by enthusiasts

The only radar/laser detector which is tested as undetectable by "radar detector detectors" used by police is the Beltronics STi / STi XR. I used to have one, but got over it and sold it. Top unit. The valentine one sometimes has more range and a cool directional "bogie" counter system, but it's detectable by RDD's.

last i heard they have detector detectors, and if they think you have one in your car GL.

Yeah, interesting points there fellas.

Ah well, stick to the speed limit and you'd be fine :devil:

I have been searching this alot and I can't tell you the actual penalty as it's a summons to court offence so it's up to the Magistrate as to what penalty you will get. I have found that it's offence to possess, use, sell or own a device under Road Safety Act 127/1986 Section 74 (1).

Hope this helps and obviously they can be detected and vehicle searched for same and if located should be seized for court and eventually disposed of.

    • We will review wtf is going on, but if you made any donations let me know and i will follow it up with the admins
    • See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars
    • bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.
    • Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 🙂  I know what it looks like  
    • Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
