care to elaborate to me what you are talking about?

Steve also, 50 a year... I agree with you the cops shouldnt have a quota to meet, its just ridiculous that they actually are REQUIRED to hand out a fine no matter what. I believe that there shouldnt be any quota at all. This forces them to target the red stovetops. The most recognizeable lights, this is why we are burdened.

There is no quota.

Police are human and it usually comes down to behaviour, and to all those who complain about being picked on, just remember prisons are full of 'innocent' people too...

If you want attention, you will invariably get it, but don't complain when you get it from those you don't want it from, ie Police.

To those who are genuinely victimised, I know how you feel as I have copped it plenty myself over the years however stop hiding behind your keyboards and wake up to the fact that Police deal with things the rest of us will never (and would never care to) see. If you think so poorly of them, don't call when you are getting carjacked or have your car stolen.

End of rant. Let the flaming begin.

PS. There is no quota. Like anything. There are productive workers and less so...

They can only defect you if the stone chip is on the driver side half of the windscreen. if it is on the passanger side half of the windscreen it is not defectable because it doesn't hamper the drivers vision. I had a cop pull me over cos I wasn't speeding while he was using the laser gun while I was in my ford Laser which has a massive crack in the windscreen on the passenger side and he didn't say anything after inspecting my car and that was a real piece of junk. A guy I knew once had a cop try and defect him for something similar and he checked up on the rules and complained at the station and they tore up the defect notice.

yeah it was all good i changed the tyres and left the window and he still passed me haha

and yeah it was on the drivers side

Those individuals would still be crashing no matter what car they drive.

The reason we tend to get harassed is because we own a performance car so we 'must' be hoons because why would we own a car with a bit of balls if we weren't to use it?

Exactly the same goes for Motor bikes... Look at the bike riders 90% of them are god damn hoons.

Performance cars attract hoons as do performance bikes attract hoons.

Sure not all are hoons; some refrain them selves until the local mallala practice day but MOST do not.

For those that are sensible long gone are the days where you were able to enjoy a little squirt up to the speed limit; now its considered unnecessary, illegal and will cost you your license.

Drive up anzac dragway one friday or saturday night and just watch the groups of bikes ride through dragging other bikes, cars, popping wheel stands etc..

The problem is those 'real' hoons and so called street racers are never not going to stop regardless of laws; all these stupid laws have done is stopped the sensible average joe enjoying a little safe squirt up to the speedlimit in the right place at the right time of which I'm sure you can relate to owning a performance bike Kralster.

Well didn't I go off track lmao. BUT its what it boils down to.

exactly

I'm also going to say that how the cop treats you has a lot to do with how you treat him/her.

I got pulled over a couple of days ago in my 32 for taking off a bit fast from the lights, not real fast, didn't break traction or anything and then stopped at 60 (probably went a little over, maybe 5km/h or so). Anyway, guy pulled me over, asked for my licence and to pop my bonnet, and having read this thread before, I thought I was screwed. Guy checked my tyres and a good long long under the bonnet (thankfully didn't spot a couple of things that shouldn't be there, even though they were very obvious...) and then asked me "where do you do your fast driving?", I replied "Mallala", a slight pause and then he said "OK, just keep it there" and left. :sleep:

I was very polite and co-operative with him and I'd like to think he returned the favour.

But then again, if you get a cop that's just had a bad day or something, there's not much else you can do...

very true salad

also sometimes it might be a test they start off bad to see if you will bite and go narky and when you do wham'o, but if you remain calm answer all questions and show them everything they want you may find your self getting through of even if they still defect you they might not write you up for everything

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
