What's wrong with living with my mummy and driving her car? lol

I'm only 20 and still studying, I'm not gonna fork out everything I got just to say "I've moved out of home", just to be cool like you :bunny:

Did anyone see Adam Pettett in the knox paper today? They are testing a 'Stalker' radar system on knox tmu cars. The radar is mounted on the side of the car and can report speeds of cars in front of the police vehicle. Pretty cool stuff.

i bet he creamed himself when they equipped him with that

I thought they already had that technology on police cars through the front grill?

I have a feeling Pettett is more concerned with canaries than speeding fines :bunny:

KNOX police have a new weapon to keep speeding motorists in check, but chances are you won't see them coming.

My ass! That thing sticks out like dog balls...if you can't see that on an unmarked car you deserve to get nabbed. It looks like a rocket launcher.

Terrible technology though...just another variable for error IMO...it's bad enough the stationary radars aren't calibrated very well let alone these moving ones which will have to detect their own speed as well as that of the car they are "stalking".

Don't see how it's 'new'

I got done by a moving, on coming, un marked car without a bazooka sticking out the window. It took all of about 1 second of being in sight of him for him to have my speed detected, lights on and pulling a U-turn.

Melton TMU has had them for a while (from what I heard first in VIC to get them), they have a range of 1 KM and detect speed of cars travelling away from or towards to the police car that the camera is mounted on while the police car is both stationary and moving.

lol same... was a ford territory, and he got me at 134 in a 100 zone (talked him down to 124 tho) in pitch black conditions :bunny:

they have been around for years, the first was mounted the same as that one is then they started to put them on the dash next to the drivers side A pillar, i got done by one about 3 years ago.

it would defeat the purpose of on unmarked cop car, i have good enough eyes for antennas, would make it easier with those. also, how is that thing roadworthy? civilian cars can't have objects sticking out the side of them. seems unsafe to me. darn double standards.

Don't see how it's 'new'

yeah, i seem to remember seeing one of these when it was hanging off the side of Brand New VK commodore pursuit car. I don't think the cops have driven them for a few years now.

i got done in country VIC back in 1995 or 1996 by an oncoming cop driving towards me, the radar was out the side of the car.

    • The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.    
    • Bit wet, but YUMMY
    • Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.
    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
