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.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
