Whilst WA still allows a radar detector (under the radio frequency law) to be used in that state,

I'd like to ask 6 Qs

Q1 Does this mean that the owner of the WA registered car has to remove the unit upon crossing the border?

Q2 How does a Police Radar-Detector-Detector work?

Q3 How accurate is a Radar-Detector-Detector in multi-lane traffic (if the Radar-Detector picks up a Radar and is immediately switched off)?

Q4 If HP pulls you over and asks you to pop the bonnet, what if you don't know how to do that? Does the officer have the right to reach in?

Q5 I've been told by a general duties officer that any police officer would have to have 'good cause' to look under the bonnet. What constitutes good cause?

There's Police who are on SAU. Can they tell us?

Q6 What if the handle to the bonnet has a bolt screwed in + lock attached + the key was somewhere at home? Can that officer break open the bonnet even if he/she wanted to use the 'good cause' excuse?

Q7 Is there a unit that can detect a Radar-Detector-Detector = A Radar-Detector-Detector-Detector? Nah Cancel That One!

I thought he was Tez' son too lolz.

Police are not even allowed to open your bonnet, you must pull the latch and open it as they cant touch it.

good cause to search your vehicle is only if they believe you may be carrying drugs; acting suspiciously etc. Only then they are allowed to touch things.

Personal opinion: i wouldnt spend money on a radar, i just dont speed when driving A to B. When i want to speed i do it on the freeway at like 3-4am when there is no1 around.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
