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.

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.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By S1_C34 · Posted

      I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.

      Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups.
