They are highly illegal and carry a pretty hefty penalty as well. They are also one device that if the police suspect you have fitted to your car, they can tear the car apart looking for it without a warrant.

Radar isnt used in Canberra much anymore anyway, its all laser so they are pretty useless. Not worth the risk of the fine and having your car ripped apart for.

About 6 years ago my brother had mine confiscated and given a $1300 fine. To make matters worse it didn't even detect the cop after I spent $600 buying a top of the line one.

My advice, drive carefully, keep your eyes open at all times and regardless of the colour always suspect any new Falcon or Commodore. I haven't had a speeding fine 5+ years which isn't bad for how I drive.

apparently there is some new device that can make the cops radar short circuit and light on fire.. somehow it bounces back a signal to the radar and overflows it, causing it to melt.. lol

being an electrical engineer that is a "far out" device, I mean firstly the device would have to pinpoint the source of the laser emission, then if it were to send ..... ehhh just know its very impossibe....

I actually herd of one story where there were some cops mucking around in america and used a radar gun to point at a low flying military aircraft. The plane read the radar source as a surface to air missile and locked its smart boms on it. the pilot only just stopped the engagement of the missile...

Ok well enough said, thanks for that guys....

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!

      Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
