Guys,

For those of you that DONT keep up to date with current affairs, the NSW premier has announced a new police operation to cut down on "car-hoons"

The operation is said to involve police hiding cameras in unmarked cars in random places, and using the photos to get evidence of "hoons" (such as speeding) and will use this evidence to confiscate cars and impound them. This apparently(according to the new report) has already happened to 100 "hoons" here in Sydney

So heads up, and dont be an idiot on the roads - i know most of you are responsible drivers, but for the ones that cant help themselves speed, please dont speed at least over the next 6 weeks (time the operation will last) as it will bring bad attention to Skylines, and car enthusiasts everywhere.

If you really must speed, take it to a trackday.....check the events section for the next one coming up that SAU is holding

I would like to ask for someone with a legal background if they could please explain the law on this matter, as we have speed camera warnings for cameras (entrapment laws???), should there not be warnings that your car could be taken by a covert camera?

Stay safe guys - and keep your car in your possession

-Steve

This is what the speed unit looks like, these can be seen hanging from the roof lights or above the rear window on highway cars as most of you would know

Hoons are even filling their cars with aviation fuel, altering oil systems and lowering their cars

ohh look out! dont alter your oil system...

secret warehouse,, fark off i know exactly where all the cars are kept!!!!!! guranteed!

fair enough there are morons on the road, but i think this is getting a bit over extreme, not like sales people with fleet commonwhores gun it everywhere, grannys hold up traffic, certian minority groups swerve, cut off, and tailgate...

but its the "hoons" that get the headlines..

they should spend more time gettin the old timers off the road, that run over little kids!!!!!!!!!!!!

i havnt heard of any hoons running people over

its all the old people that complain about hoons and there the ones that cant drive!

I am sure the law cannot be enforced if challenged.

How can an offence carry a fine based on the car you drive.

If you get causght hooning in a $500 banger and it gets confiscated, but doing donuts in your $250,000 porsche and having it confiscated would not seem fair.

I am sure that the police would have no grounds to just take a car without serious offences.

This is just a way to rid the roads of P plate driving imports.

Very well said.

I would like someone with a legal background to weigh in on this topic if possible

once again they are ging to pick on us.. *crys*

im already being picked on by cops! . not fair. i got branded a hoon as soon as i bought a skyline by my bos and quite alot of other people. and now im going to get pulled over and hassled just because my car is 4cm lower to the ground then someone elses?

hmmm things like this just make me so fustrated. also being a p plater is like somthing people look down on now. as soon as they know that im a p plater in a import car, i get looked down on and instantly judged as hoon or someone who is a stupid driver and speeds, or what ever else.

no im not the worlds best driver by no means, and i know that i have alot to learn. but that doesnt instantly mean i am, or alot of other drivers who are still learning the skills of driving (P platers), are all idiots and hoons and dont give a damn to others.

the sooner i get off my green P's the better.. i hate the feeling of when i pull into the servo, or up my street, all the dirty looks i get, and so does alot of my friends..

    • 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.
