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.

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)

      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.
