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)

      I'd be worried about having to parallel park a boat like that. Magnificent car though.

      This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking

      Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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?
