thats good news man!

finally the cops do something good for an import car!

not to mess up this good moment but can the cops still inspect your car while your not there? and give ya a yellow sticker for anything? anyways man

good news

30yr old?

man i thought it was some lil boongs or sumfin :D

adrian

No way!!!!

What cop would give some poor guy a yellow sticker thats just had his car stolen!!!!

And if they do ( The police never cease to amaze me ) claim the guy who stole your car installed it and that you don't know anything about it :D

I believe the keypad is installed on top of your alarm/immobilliser... So even if you have the keys and disarm the alarm and immobilliser you still need to enter your pin number into the keypad before the car will allow you to start it...

Please anyone correct me if I am wrong...

Hey Woody,

Good news dude!! Well put it this way... if it is in bad condition or the more reason to get your engine ported and polished and be like a new baby! Did you have the mods insured? did you tell the insurance co that you had all these mods on it? If any mods are broken it could work in your favour:uh-huh:

alan, glad to hear that, you got it back early which is good. If anything is really damaged then get insurance to cover it. I think ur gonna wanna steam clean the inside of ur car, get all the dirty thievness out of it. Hope it runs well and is ok :P

THanks guys,

I haven't heard anything more since 7:00am this morning, but i rekon as long as he hasn't done any curb crawling or side swiping of lamp posts, then the car will be fine and it will need a good service and probably new tires (even though i just put new tires on a couple of days ago... :( )

Unfortunately i already got a yellow sticker and the bastard removed it when he stole it, so i hope i don't get a fine for $400 for removing it...

If there is any damage to the car i'm going to talk to the cops about pressing charges and get some money to pay for new tires and any other damage... Maybe i should also sue for $1,000,000 for the emotional stress involved... :P That would be sweet!!

Dan,

Nah i haven't told the insurance about the mods yet, but i plan too soon and also get the keypad installed straight away!!!

I also plan to not drive the car for a week so as to let things calm down (cops may still be looking for it, angry people might reckonise it) stuff like that...

I am also hiding my keys and wallet somewhere really good too...

And yeah i'll get the car detailed to get the scum outta it...

Alan.

:D

Ahhh ..... yeah I have always used Action Alarms for my cars.... I have been happy with their work but didn't want to mention it because I didn't know if they did the keypads too...

Now that I know that I too would like to get some idea on how much they cost.... There are completely independant of your alarm too arent they so they will work with pretty much all alarms.

Also find out where about they will fit it in your cabin if you can ...

Thanks

Brett

KEYPADS: When I wanted to get a keypad I was told it was not a good idea. If someone breaks into your house and gets your keys, then they find out they can't break the code, they are likely to come back into the house to force you to give them the code. IF you don't co-operate you will probably be hurt.

He suggested to me an alarm system that has a secret switch hidden inside the car, and you have to press it before you start the engine. If the switch is not pressed the car automatically stops after 40 seconds ( I think fuel supply stopped).

That gives the thieves enough time to get far enough away from your house that they are unlikely to come back. Only drawback is that it is a whole new alarm system about $500, as it cannot be incorporated into your existing system.

Talk to Darren at Technik 0412 909 901 if you are interested. He has done a lot of work on my car, he specialises in imports, and I have never had any problems with his work.

Well Guys my baby is sitting at home safe and sound, it's in the locked garage with the CDI unit removed... I've taken some pictures (http://alan.awoodman.net/stolen/) the engine bay shots is just for interest sakes, theres nothing wrong with the engine from what i can tell so far...

There is cigarette ash everywhere as well as peanuts and water... At least i think its water...

The dudes name is Ian Charles Varga (spell?), a 30yo aboriginal, there was a news report on channel 7 and it showed my car...

I'll be speaking to the senior office tomorrow morning and finding out much more information and when i do i'll let you know...

Woody.

***n wanka hey the scum bag should get shot or at least hands and feet chopped with no chance of going on a pension. thatl *** the bl!@# prick Id reckon we should adopt some of east asias punishments for scumbags who do this type of thing lol me thinx this place be better for it...

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
