I've got the Region 1 version of Donnie Darko on DVD - and the soundtrack/poster :P Its a ****ing brilliant film and i've seen it about 6 times now. I've had the dvd for about 4-6 months now I think.

Amelie is excellent aswell - though its a lot different to the director's other films.

(I work for a cinema :()

Guys, it's a pretty well documented fact that Brant alarms are very susceptible to EMF and radio interference.

If you're in an area with a lot of interference, you won't be able to arm your car, or worse.... DISARM your car when you get back.

I've had this happen a few times... Stood in front of the car like an idiot for 15 mins pressing the button, hoping to catch a break in the surrounding interference so I can disarm my car. :P

Here's an idea for you guys, if you feel like experimenting.

Park your car in St. Leonards. THEN see if you can unlock it. My theory is if it's bad in Chatswood (presuming it's RF interference), then it'll be shocking in St. Leonards! ;)

Good to hear that you had a somewhat faith-restoring (or perhaps doubt-alleviating) Police encounter Carlo.

I have the same problems with interference with wireless equipment in the chatswood area..... one day I decided to look up before I get in the car. Staring back at me is the big TV broadcasting tower for channel 9!!!!

Man!! That tower could keep you toasty warm if you could stand in front of the dishes butt naked!

Thats my theory anyways

Try this:

Press the remote against your chin while pressing the button. It is known fact that human body can act as some kind of an aerial. Doing so will help your remote as it is "using" your whole body as a transmitter.

You will notice the range will increase as well.

Actually the person who told me that is a professional alarm installer. I had the same prob parking @ local train station where a hi power line runs above the car park. Alarm won't arm/disarm. Pressing the remote against your chin helps to increase the signal from the remote and it might help to defeat the EF interference.

I tried, it worked, and nobody around you will notice you doing that... unless your remote is as big as a house brick and you're doing it for 1/2 hour jumping up n down n shouting madly.

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
