All those with radar detectors, throw them in the bin and buy and iphone... is this app still worthwhile?

Or buy the Laser sheild 2000 (ghost plate)

Just to reiterate, there wouldn't be a market for these if people just slowed down!

sydney by far has the worst roads compared to other capital cities in OZ (but i haven't been to darwin).

I thought Melb/Adelaid were best

canberra has the best roads but the worst drivers.........

anyone with an iphone can download trapster. its free and you can make an account. its got user added cameras/red light cameras etc as well as push notifications when there is a speed trap, rbt, fire, ice on road, accidents etc in your set area (works on radius). its pretty good and i usually report things when i see them and others do too, could be a license saver.

ontop of that the push notifications force you to check your speed - ive found myself checking my speed a lot more often since i downloaded this app. AND you're a lot more weary on days where the push notifications are going off more regularly.

I'm pretty sure Trapster is multi-platform too, so it can work on Blackberry, Nokias, Android-based phones, etc..

If you've got an iPhone, the location mapping isn't perfect, but if you close down Trapster, open the Maps App , lock in your location and then go back into Trapster, it's a lot better.

Does anyone agree with me on this one. I was driving my Friends DC5 Integra Type R the other time and I was coming from the city through ANZAC bridge some moron was really close from behind. I knew there was a safety camera up a head and the lights change orange I press the brake and the moron behinds hits me. I think the Government is a stupid to make safety camera in incidents like that this could be avoid I just had press the accelerator a little harder and I would of got through the light but because its a safety camera i decided to stop. Which was a bad idea either way.

I believe these f***en safety camera will cause a lot more accidents what do you think?

yeah but if it played out as you said it did, then it is the other drivers fault..... I agree safety cams are stupid and just another money spinner for a governemnt that is in debt, but if it creates a few more rear enders and less t-bones or head ons then isn't that worth the increase in rear enders? Especially if it came down to your turn and you were the guy involved in the t-bone?

The idea should reduce fatalities at notorious intersections, but really how many accidents happen at intersections in Sydney that were caused by speeding through a red light that were not involved in a high speed car chase or a stolen car? Safety cameras are a false sense of security as most traffic light incidents happen from stolen cars who don't care if they are running red lights over the speed limmit.

Safty spikes that deploy at speeding cars or red light runners would be better than a camera, but that is just my imagination lol.

      Boxes of oil?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      These are sold all the time at Walmart and like others have said the angle is "more eco friendly". It is slightly cheaper. Oil-contaminated plastics cannot be recycled so less of it is better, but you need a whole bunch of extra stuff to handle this. You need probably one clean 5 quart oil jug you set aside to use as an intermediate holding tank. You need your local hazmat to return your oil catch pan AND you need to make sure whatever oil catch pan you use can hold engine oil without any risk of leaking during transport. Or you have dedicated used engine oil containers that your local curbside recycling will drain and return. Personally I have stuck to just buying 5 quart bottles because this is just too much mess to be worth the hassle.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      By tidi0x · Posted

      Update...  After my last update there was two issues I ran into. The first was the driveshaft, mainly that I wanted a 1350 joint on both ends as I am making ~700+whp... Spicer makes a 1350 yoke out of the CD, but looking everywhere all I could find was 1310's for the rear diff face yoke for the R200 (Mine happens to be a z32 swap). Until I found Driftmotion out of CA makes billet R200 flange yokes, I reached out to them to verify if they offered an Old style R200 not the 350z style, and Arron said they had a few in both styles. Anyways Arron over there is awesome, so I gave him my measurements and a week or so later I got my new driveshaft. The fit up is solid, however I did need to remove the cup on the back of my CD as the shaft yoke was too wide to fit in the cup. The driveshaft is sorted and will handle everything I throw at it. I also tig'd up a mild steel trans mount. I used an energy suspension T56 trans mount as they work for the CD, it's universal so cheaper and easier to find. I made a decent mount, I am absolutely not a fabricator but It will work. I intend on replacing It at some point with something I model in CAD and send to send cut send. When I built it I used some trig to get the operating angles right since I did not have a driveshaft at the time. I left myself some gap to shim the trans up with plates to get it dialed in. The only thing that bugs me is I went a touch too narrow on the cross bar, but it supports and functions well.  However my current and persisting issue is with the clutch. The first pass of "Final" install on the trans I reused the pivot ball and fork from the CD as the setup was identical to what I was running on my RB big box. However once it was installed  it was clear I did not get the full travel only half. I thought it could be that I am running the transmission plate or the fact there is really 2 pivot ball sizes 41mm and 54mm. Mazworx was not super helpful and said "the bell housing was dimensionally the same an OEM one", and that I need to "use an RB26 push config" which is technically what I was using. So I ordered the 54mm pivot ball incase that is correct, Tonight I swapped it in and it also does not seem correct. I am going to spend some time researching, because I hope they don't mean I also need to run the stamped steel RB26 fork, and I want to avoid purchasing the $500 tilton kit. Either way this is where I am currently stuck... One other note about the Mazworx housing, the clutch slave provision does not fit either, so I will need to clearance material to make it sit flush with the mounting face. Side note, I am using a RB25 Spec twin disk clutch, It worked great on my previous box, their kit is the same for GTS-T and GTR so I don't think the clutch is the problem.

      100%  I actually enjoy driving the Tiguan around, has adaptive dampers, launch control, TRI zone climate control. With the old set of tyres, Continental Sport Contact 5, it kept up to my friend's S13 going through Old Pac. Yeah of course, drove it literally just 2 months ago.

      How to test the stock OEM Oil Cooler/Warmer?

      By Duncan · Posted

      If you have an active leak it would be badly contaminated again by now....I'm pretty sure it is just residual. BTW I suggested checking under the oil cap, not radiator cap. Finally, cooling system pressure testers are cheap to buy, that will tell you with a reasonable degree of confidence if there is a leak anywhere in that system.
