Hey all,

On my way to exam today and was pacing myself. I hit boost and weaved through some cars (SAFELY) to suddenly notice a cop pointing a radar at me. I don't know what speed I was doing, but i get the feeling I was a little bit over by the time he would have read my speed.

I wasn't pulled over or anything, does that mean I got away with it, or does it mean that I will get a ticket in the mail sometime soon?

Any past experiences or knowledge would be much appreciated so I don't have this cloud hanging over my head all weekend.

Kind Regards,

Joel

I had an unfortunate experience when i was travelling along a main road:

Came out of a long slip way and could see that traffic was coming so I thought may as well speed up a bit... was doing 75 or so as I came onto the main road and as I continued up traffic slowed - and then I noticed the fagman in blue holding something.

It was a 2 lane road - some traffic was told to keep on going, where as I was pulled over to the side and told that i'd been doing a substancial amount over the limit.

Fine was written out to me then and there...

Worst part was 3 demerit points:(

So there ya go.

Sometimes they don't bother if it's only a bit over but if it was a hand held they have to pull you.

Sometimes they have mounted in cars or on the side of the road that will take photos.. If it was on a tripod or mounted in dash then you'll usually see a flash.

    • Duncan:- it affect both sides.  Driver side is worse.
    • That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)  
    • MBS206:- The windows start to slowly open themselves. GTSBoy:- Battery is new since Dec. 
    • I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
