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.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
