ive got an old (like 6+ yrs old) Bel 990International and it still picks up everything

the warning distance for the new multinovas is reduced to about 100-50m, but its enough to slow down when your doing about 10kmh over

it doesnt 'build up' with the warning, it just all of a sudden cuts sick and beeps and flashes LASER

With regards to the current poliscan laser mobile cameras, do they get your speed 1st futher down the road & then wait for you to drive closer before taking your photo or is your speed taken around the same time (well slightly before) when the photo was taken.

Looking at some of my very old speeding fines, the photo seem to be taken pretty close to the actual camera, rough guess seem to be ~10m or less.

Those fixed laser cameras in the fixed box on the freeway gives the most warning when I'm driving towards them, the one near south tce exit everytime I come back from Curtin heading towards city direction would give me some 10 - 15 seconds of warning.

While normally the detection range appears to be ~100m - 120m which is about 4 or so seconds.

I have a Escort Passport 8500, gives me OK warning for the poliscan lasers, but I drove past the fixed camera on the freeway, no warning at all. I was expecting at least a little bit of pickup from bouncing on cars etc. Maybe it wasn't turned on?

Well its being almost another year & radar detectors are still legal in this state.

I have now moved my V1 detector from the R33 to my 335i as it is my DD now.

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
