dont get it :S

yeah... definately right about that...

not worth the risk, just putting it out there... i've noticed they've put some speed cameras up on EAST link, under a little bridge right near WELLINGTON road both inbound and outbound... sneaky...

Parking tickets are terrible too... copped a $117 fine on the weekend at 11pm... dont park in loading zones... hahaha

i sometimes find myself creeping of the speed limit. these damn stagea's are just so smooth, dont even notice :)

Know the feeling m8!!!!

& yeah it's a gamble to get one(radar dect) ,& where u r located personally NO,NO,NO, but thats my opinion,get a speed alert fitted instead maybe,& get to the track on a regular basis, it helps.

I miss the "protection"...that thing was seriously good

I was looking at one on ebay... $140

seems like a good investment... until you get caught + the $3000... that would hurt the hip pocket... i wonder if they would cancel your licence..

This is a pretty sensitive topic so I cant say much, but basically my recommendation is if you dont know what your doing dont get one. Me an my cousin have both been using RD's for awhile now, first time using one in a place sooooo illegal, there are products I DO recommend but for 140 your not going to get ANYTHING good especially since they will be detected by the cops and you'll get raped.

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
