HELP ON RADAR

[ztastic]

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

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

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+

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...

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.

[Vayda]

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

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.
