Units like this need to mounted on the windscreen - not a big deal these days with every other vehicle having mobile phone and/or GPS units mounted there aswell. There are more advanced ones that use sensors on the dash/back window/front grill, but the unit hides away.

You can modify a radar detector to become a detector-detector - this is what the police use and it provides a signal direction too. Most decent units have a shut-off that once it acknowledges that it is being tracked, it will stop detecting to avoid being identified. This obviously only works if there are other cars around. If you're by yourself, it won't matter.

It will pick up mobile radar no problem as they tend to operate continuously and as someone said, the signals bounce off anything/everything. Speed cameras are a strange one - some operate continuously (easy detection), some operate sporadically so you might think its a false signal and ignore the alarm (shopfront motion sensors for automatic sliding doors can set some models off). Lasers are difficult - they hardly reflect off other vehicles, and if it gets pointed at you, you'll be warned as your speed is recorded.

This is all just general knowledge to answer some questions, not specific to the model being sold here.

Just curious, would radar detectors detect Highway Patrol cars jsut driving around?

Reason I ask is that I've been told some HWP cars have radars in their car to detect speed and is mroe or less constantly switched on. Any truth in that?

After all of this talk ,are these things any good?

Or, if caught you are in more trouble than just the speeding ticket????

Is there a product out there that gives us a fighting chance if we slip over the limit, without being fined for having a radar detector in our car.

If they have to put up signs saying there is a radar speed detector up ahead , why are we not allowed to have something to detect them ??????

Before you shoot me down, "do not speed" and then "no problem" shit it is hard to stay within a 5k limit with a modern car where 1 or 2MM on the peddle is about 5 kph :w00t:

I have done lots of dumb driving over my life in cars that should not have been on the road and today would be scrapped , F, cable brakes were fun :w00t: the car could go twice as fast than it could stop :stupid:

I do 3500kms per week, I use one and cannot recommend them highly enough, yes they will go off at certain business/servos. yes the police with a handheld need to be locked onto your car for it 2 pickup laser alert, yes it will pickup highway patrol cars with there radar turned on before u see them and yes it will pickup flash for cashes parked on side of road. good luck with sale, good price :)

i just got a speeding fine, he said his laser showed i was speeding, so my question is does this unit tell me if a cop has a radar with a laser before i get in range of it?

Uhh, no.. by definition if you're not "in range" then how is the detector supposed to detect the radar or laser signal? a signal has to actually been seen by the device to be detected. with the laser speed measuring devices cops use today, you will have only ~1 to 2 seconds to drop your speed if you're speeding before they lock in the detected speed, in other words not enough time. Another approach would be to attempt to "jam" the signal by diffusing the laser with noise on the same wavelength buying you another 4-5 seconds to slow down... but not all of these have success in actually working as advertised, and are also illegal. Also note that most detectors are easily detected by police scanners because they emit a signal which can be identified - the only one i know of that claims is not detectable is the Bell XR/STi.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
