LOL are u serious? Damn! i wouldnt exactly call a $1400 fine lucky.. Anyway it's not the radars you should be worried about, cops in victoria use directional laser speed readers which are faster, more precise, and give very little warning that you're being tracked until it's too late.

The best radar/laser detector i've seen is the Valentine-1, but it's risky having these devices in your car because they CAN be detected and u will cop a massive fine.... but they're quite good for picking up fixed speed camera's parked on the roadside, so u have enough time to slow down if u happen to be travelling above the suggested speed limit ;)

well i think 1400 fine is beter then going to jail or loosing your licence for a year from what i heard, andyways good luck to be using them, and they are illegal in australia, so i dont think you should be selling them anyways on the net.

I have used one of the Cobra ones in Vic and it picked up Cops on the highway and stuff. Not the fixed cameras at the lights and shit but all the other ones yes. Not to sure about the pigys with the hand held ones, dont think ive been past one with it.

Cheers

Its just this sort of discussion which is useful to people buying and selling! Please change the rules. Someone will buy it if the info provided is informative enough then it will sell.

Note this is spectre undetectable as well as VG2 undetectable. So it will not get detected!

However it is visible to the naked eye in the window of your car which is where it needs to be if it is to detect laser.

On the other point of laser(handheld) gun radar - you will find this does detect laser(handheld) gun radar but using stray radiation bouncing off the car in front. Usually the manual will explain how all this works.

Hey I'd buy this one but I don't need it :D

Hey guys - did you know its an offence to own, purchase or offer for sale a radar detector in all states other than WA.

If you search on the net you will find some good advive about the legalities of these devices and the restrictions placed on the police regarding their detection and removal. (well worth a read)

I am not anti detectors, but be careful when purchasing/selling them, and know the legalities if you put one in your car (eg. the police have the righ to search your car if they suspect you have a detector, but they have limitations on what they can do to locate it)

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
