That works too!!!

[NewGen33]

They got one called self control, I hear once you use it you'll never be the same.

[Nismo]

What are you doing that you think a radar will help you with? Also post up type of car so we can flame you.

[quickdodge®]

Dumbass. Later, QD.

[BeastRodeo]

So you want to stop getting tickets? But, you still wanna keep doing the same shit? Save some money and stop doing all that and you won't need help finding a radar. ;)

[silversol]

i thought most cops use laser now anyway.

[MachNU]

yeah radars are a waste of money, most dont actually work, plus by the time it registers its already way to late, the cop see's you and has your speed. so the best one you can use is stop driving fast do that thing called the "Speed Limit"

Just an idea, but why not save your money and lower the risk of injuring other people who are able to maintain something called "self-control" and stop doing stupid crap. Doesn't that just make sense?

[gtrmonkey]

Cheath Pass is a Laser jammer too.

[FlipKing]

The dolorian from back to the future just goes back in time and passes the cop going under the speed limit. True story

[Catnip]

Just become a cop, then you can speed with no consequences.

[ztastic]

dude its so stupid people say drive slow and have self control...
okay i do have self control but i rather be protected from stupid pigs.. cause some times u get that feeling like u just wanna drive fast. and its a 2008 350z
so go head flame on :screwy:

It's not fast.

At least it's not a 370 though, ew.

[ztastic]

its pretty good man
im more of a drifter
n yea dude def hate the 370z but i love the inside!!

[Nismo]

So how is having a radar going to help you not get caught drifting? You know the radar wont tell you if a police officer is coming right?

[redrumracer]

Why don't you get some blinders.
only helps ya against laser not radar

[ztastic]

no i know its not going protect me from drifting... just wanted cause like ur in the highway and ur going a little fast n they have speed traps n u get fuck if they catch u or even when a cop is behind u... shit like that... u know??
beats a ticket man and how expensive those tickets are! fuck that bro!!

[ztastic]

yea like that i mean im not 16 where i think im invisible or something and go fast and fuck up with hurting myself or others... for god sake i love my baby! dont wanna fuck it up!:no:

if the cop has his radar on, then it will tell you. before he sees you.

just to let know.

You're more of a drifter? I doubt it. And neg rep.

If you want to know how radar detectors/laser jammers work, I believe a member made a thread about this before and it was a good read.

I have had quite a few radar detectors and here are my takes on them.

~Any cobra - I honestly would not get any of their shit

~Passport Escort 8500 x50 - pretty basic and simple, but comes with very few options. But it's compatible with the ZR3 laser jammers so that combination would be ideal.

~Valentine V1 - I actually had it for 2 weeks equipped with euro mode and POP2 and everything... and then sold it because it really wasn't all that to me. The arrows and bogey counts were cool and all but in the end, I really liked the 8500 x50 better because it actually tells you the type of radar on the big LED. On the V1, it tells you but via little dots and it doesn't tell you when you're being hit by a laser like any passports. The only neat thing is you can send it back to Valentine and they'd update it for you. the fucked up thing is you got to pay for the update.. IMO I'd rather see an LED while driving rather than having to dicipher a certain series of beeps like morse codes that comes from an obsolete looking block =P

~Passport Escort 9500i - I upgraded to this from the V1, and it's pretty much just the 8500 x50 with the GPS system. The cool thing is IT FUCKING TALKS like a navigation system, blocks out false signals once it's been through it before so you don't get false alarms the second time around, it tells you your speed limit everytime it receives a rdar signal. Moreover, you can choose to mark certain locations for speed traps if you KNOW cops are bound to be around there and it'll remind you (i.e. 285 near peachtree industrial).

So yea, it may seem like I'm bias towards Passport but I just tell it how I see it. The thing about this technology is that they come out with new shit everyday and you have to contemplate depreciation value. Like when I got the x50, it was 350. I just sold one earlier this week for 160 -___-'. It seems like only the V1 and 9500i/x retains their value..

That said.. hit me up if you want a 9500i.. $350 :goodjob:

[quickdodge®]

i do have self control but i rather be protected from stupid pigs.. cause some times u get that feeling like u just wanna drive fast. and its a 2008 350z
So why don't you just exercise your self control right into a fucking brick wall and end yourself so you won't infect anyone else with your stupidity? That would be a great public service that you could provide. Moron. Make sure you're alone so it's only your worthless body dying in the street and not a normal person. Later, QD.

[ztastic]

wow some people on IA are fuckin just dumb
like QD over here gettin pissed off for such a stuipd thing.
i dont even fuckin race dumbass so fuck off. later,

i know its so stupid
like i dont know if its a misunderstanding or people just like starting shit for nothing on IA



oh damn. your getting a lot of hate....

[Got Milk?]

i got 1 300 dollar cobra radar i got as a gift, and some other one.

THey work fine, but some times they dont. I learned my lesson, no i dont speed, i put my seat belt on, and no cops in sight.

[nreggie454]

dude its so stupid people say drive slow and have self control...
okay i do have self control but i rather be protected from stupid pigs.. cause some times u get that feeling like u just wanna drive fast. and its a 2008 350z
so go head flame on :screwy:

99% of the time, a law abiding citizen doesn't need to be protected from police.

That is like saying you need a smoke detector on your head to make sure you don't burn yourself when you get that feeling like you just wanna stick your head in a bonfire to light a cigarette.

350Z owners....

[gtrmonkey]

Dude what you need is this

Passport 9500i
Cheatah PASS
Garmin Nuvi with Nectjition
Maybe Some Veil.

[MR2DR]

thanks bud im glad u didnt misunderstood this thread like some fuckin idiots on here.
but yea man let me look into it and let u know

It's just speeding/weaving/drifting(?) through traffic is not condoned by anyone on this site because it kills. The dumbass with the red integra in the news last year can attest for that.

If anything, I use mine only as an added security against cops who want to reach their monthly quota by pulling me over for going 5-6 miles above the speed limit.

But yea, if you're fallin' as buck to get the k40 AND get it installed, go for that. Most cars I see those on are 70-80k+

[FlipKing]

not speeding is free. saves gas too

[ztastic]

:thinking:

no dude i totally know wat ur saying
but u got amit almost everyone does speeding/weaving/drifting on here.
i just really need like the way u said "added security against cops who want to reach their monthly quota by pulling me over for going 5-6 miles above the speed limit."
thats exactly wat i mean to say
i dont race
i dont drift in public
i dont even go fast i just wanna be alerted
and i had no idea about that k40...

[MR2DR]

Yea man, I would say the calibre k40 is the ultimate source of protection since it jams/blind lasers and pick up all types of radars. But the best deal I ever found on one is like $500 and you have to get it installed professionally (1100-1200ish).. or you can try to do it yourself which takes like 5-6 hours

[ztastic]

def dont have that type yet.
but yea man thanks alot :goodjob:

[btldzc]

You really dont have to buy a radar. Just get aluminum foil and stuff into your wheels and engine. The aluminum reflects the lasers, sonars, radars, and gammas so no one can stop you.

Who said anything about racing, dummy? Are you seriously referring to me as being dumb? Lolol. I bet. Me pissed? What do I have to be pissed about? Life's good. I'm cool. You're the whiny little bitch with all the problems. Crying about how you have to speed because you have an (allegedly) fast car.

Do you honestly believe that between the two of us, people are going to think I'M the dumb one? For once be realistic and answer that honestly. Later, QD.

No one has to admit to shit. You have a problem with police because you don't know how to act civilized in public and get caught for it. So in essence, you don't like someone because it's there job to keep morons like you in check. You cause your own problems and place the blame elsewhere. Later, QD.

[staysideways]

Cobra


lol

X2
i have the 969 i think it is, and it's awesome.
it picks up vg2, spectre one, k, ku, ka, x, and four different pro laser signals, so it's more than enough for me. plus it has a built in compass, a dimmer for night driving, auto off so you don't have to worry about it draining your battery if you don't turn it off yourself, and city and highway modes.
i don't see any reason to spend more on a valentine or a passport but if i was going to get a more expensive one, i'd get the passport.

hopefully that helps lol

In other words, you concede. This is the typical response when my victim knows he's been bested by me. Lolol @ little girls. Later, QD.

[Cool Cat Racing]

That's what I did.

[Vayda]

no dude i totally know wat ur saying
but u got amit almost everyone does speeding/weaving/drifting on here.

and i had no idea about that k40...

No one here has "got amit" anything. The majority of people on here don't weave/drift/speed when it's not appropriate (ie, when other cars are around.)

I've never seen or heard of anyone who's been pulled over for going 6 over, unless they were doing something absolutely stupid like revving their engine at the cop :screwy:

Anyway, I think you should go ahead and get a laser jammer. While you're at it, consider why they're camouflaged as "parking assist systems"....it couldn't POSSIBLY be because of how pissed off a cop will be if they figure out you have one.

And if you think they won't notice something's up when their laser is jammed and there's only one car on the road, and it's a plainly obvious 350z...well.

Plus, if you're speeding and they want to pull you over, fuck the gun, they'll pull you over for something like reckless driving. That's all the cop's opinion. Or too fast for conditions. You might say that all you have to do is go to court and get out of that one, but you still have to waste the time and energy to go to court and get out of it.

Bottom line, if a cop wants to pull you over, a laser jammer or radar detector or whatever won't help.

[gtrmonkey]

That not all the time ture. The whole point of the system is to save you from having to pay the fine. IF the cop pulls too many people over for b.s reason they get looked at closer. Most cops will write you a warning or let you go. I have a friend who they wrote on the ticket for speed other and It did not fly well with the judge at all. The point is cops pick and choose there battles. There human just like the rest of us. They have a boss just like the rest of us. So they treat there job seriously just like the rest of us. They can't go writing a million j walking tickets or bs shit. They might just write one or two but that it.

[Vayda]

My point was that if a cop is in a pissy mood and wants to give you a ticket, he'll find something to give you one. Even if he knows you'll fight it and win it'll still piss you off. Obviously they can't do it often.

Anyway, i don't want to open up a can of worms, but the legality on laser jammers is kinda fuzzy. It's supposedly legal, at the same time not legal?? the law is kinda loose.

[ztastic]

:goodjob:

u go think that cause one dude i hate arguing on the this bullshit and i have life. then sit behind the computer prove a point

i could give a fuck wat u say honestly.

i asked a question about a radar n which one is the best radar. im sick of peoples fuckin whining about ur dumb a opinion on wat cop does or u think a radar is point less or other bullshit!.
so please people shut the fuck up! i asked about which is a good radar??
v1 or the passport?
pick one thanks.

[81911SC]

Quit speeding.

[81911SC]

You wouldn't need one if you weren't speeding.

[81911SC]

Have you seriously considered not speeding in your motor vehicle?

[81911SC]

It sounds as if you have a speeding problem.

[81911SC]

Speeding can get you tickets and points on your license, ya know?

[81911SC]

Why do you insist on speeding?

[81911SC]

Slow down man.

[81911SC]

Don't forget exhibition of speed either.

[81911SC]

Don't do speed either.

No one's here whining except your candy ass. If you want to know a good radar detector brand, that's cool, but leave your unconfirmed, false allegations of what the police do out of it. You know you're a fuck up and don't like to take fault in your own stupidity, so just leave the "understood" part out of your query and simply ask about a detector. Later, QD.
