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.

    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
