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....

      Would be easier to just run the RB25DET gearbox, all you would need to do is have the tail shaft / prop shaft shortened. S15 uses the rear ABS diff sensor for the dash speedo, so you can skip using the gearbox speed sensor.

      Was the failed sensor by any chance this one? Did it just fail or start pissing on itself? I ordered one too, for fuel pressure monitoring, and now I am hesitant to put it in, hehe. Where did you find a brand one?

      You'd be insane, when a brand new 8HP is ~$4k, and all the work to put a 6 in would cost the same as an 8 and the 8 is a completely established swap. If you think that getting a cheap Falcon box is going to make it a cost effective exercise, then you're not accounting for the extra $10-15k that the task will consume.

      They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.
