Most people actually worry more about the $$$ then anything.

If you're 30KM/h over the limit, you deserve to walk for 3 months. 45KM/H over, you deserve to walk for 6 months. MINIMUM! People just don't understand, you might be on a freeway in a 110KM/H zone, sitting on 150KM/H thinking you're safe and dandy, but shit gets freaking scary at those speeds when it all goes wrong.

At to that if you're doing 90KM/h in a 50 Zone... That's a hell of a lot of damage! Considering pedestrians have an extremely low chance of surviving an impact when a car is over 60KM/H... Yet alone 90!

Further to this, learners and P platers can only do 90 and 100km/h on a freeway. The speed differential from 140/150 clicks to 90/100 is substantial, throw in a driver who is very inexperienced (and one numbskull who is speeding) and you have a recipe for a hospital trip, or morgue trip for that matter. Seen plenty of ugly things happen at much slower speeds than that, it's not worth it on the road. Want to go fast? Do a track day.

Radar detectors.. another brain dead idea. Cop uses a LIDAR gun (laser) you are screwed anyway, and you deserve it.

You can buy undetectable radar's now they stipulate this when you read up on them.

Remember NSW is broke and do not have money to keep updating you will always get

updated technology faster than nsw police...

lol you do that, and when they point the gun at your car and notice you brake, then they point the gun away and you speed up, then they do that cycle again because sometimes the detectors just go off and then you'll have the car searched. The gov may be (semi broke) but they spend on things that make them money. They'll then walk up to the car with the gun and activate the gun in your car and they will look for lights and listen for the sound of the detector. Besides in NSW they don't need to give you the 3 second speed confirmation test anymore, they can get the reading from less than half a second now which renders the detector useless....

Actually on 2nd thought keep using your detector, get done for speeding and the detector at the same time and what other goodies you may have in the car :D

they are called radar detectors but most of them work for lazer aswell, it's just the name of them, we know cops usually do speed with lazer guns but most of us still call it radar

$1040 fine for HAVING a RADAR/LIDAR detector/Jammer.

Another $1050 fine for refusing to hand it over.

Also, NSW police REGULARLY update the jammer/detector detectors...

I know of someone who occasionally uses a detector X, K, Ka, Ku, Laser and Strobe and hasn't been pick by police going in both direction with it running.

I think if you are doing dangerious speeds, by the time the detector would detect a radar and you need to slow down it would be more than obvious to the police that you would be in the wrong and should be busted anyway.

Kujotk - As far as the 3 second rule, I can't be sure. I do know the police still state the 3 seconds in a court of law, i.e. that the gun was locked on for 3 seconds. So it must mean something. A minimum of 2 seconds to prove speed, it usually tells the speed travelled in those 2 seconds too, slowing or speeding up.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
