Hay all...

Just pissing around with my iPhone and I came across an App called Trapster... ...Did a search for it on the Forums and seems no one has talked about it...

Their web sight is Trapster... ...Seems to be very community driven...

Anyone on here using it???...

Been using it for a long time now :D

Great app, it pushes notifications of recent traps to you.

A bit draining on the battery though to have it on constantly while driving though so it's hard to report traps on the spot. I just wait til I get to my destination and then report it online.

My old man uses it all the time cause he has an iphone now... It works good I guess if people report what they see. Anyways was driving on the south coast of NSW and my old man tells me there is a police car along a road we were driving, and yep sure enough there was a green VE Commodore police car sitting behind some bushes. Lucky I was doing the speed limit cause it was a verrrrry straight road and around double demerits...

When I first got the app, I thought it'd be useless because no one would be reporting stuff.

Found out that there are a lot of people using it and quite a few people in my area are regular users because all of the traps have been reported by the same reliable sources :P

It's good to have a quick check of the "Recent Traps" list before you head out on a drive. It gave me a heads up once that I would be going through a booze bus, but I had no choice but to go that way haha.

so is this an app that you just read before u go out? or do u keep it on while driving and it beeps when ur need a camera? pls explain?

You can do both. The web site is where all the work is done. The app on your phone is a portal to the web site. But it also streamlines reporting back to the site.

As you're driving it displays google maps (on iPhone at least) and will beep and point out where a cop is. If it's a green warning, it means it's just been reported and if you see a cop there too you give it a thumbs up, and it goes yellow. If it's yellow and you see a cop you give it a thumbs up and it goes red and means that at least three people have seen and reported that a cop is there.

If you don't see a cop there you give it a thumbs down and after a while if enough people do that then it will be removed.

It keeps the maps and app live.

I have my iPhone mounted in a TomTom cradle so it's clear to see and quick to report or thumb.

The app is free to download and use, apart from your phone data costs.

      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.

      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.
