Saw this in the Daily Telegraph.. some good work by the boys in blue!

Five arrested over car rebirthing racket July 19, 2007 02:51pm

POLICE have arrested five men and allegedly smashed a major motor vehicle rebirthing syndicate in early morning raids in Sydney's west today.

After intensive inquiries as part of Strike Force Olympian, Middle Eastern Organised Crime Squad detectives simultaneously raided five residential premises shortly after 6am (AEST).

Three men aged 26, 27 and 30 were being questioned at Merrylands police station in western Sydney today after they were arrested at homes in Old Guildford, Greystanes and Granville.

A 26-year-old man was taken to Flemington police station for questioning after being arrested at a home in Berala.

About 8.30am (AEST) detectives raided four wrecking yards and spare parts businesses in Fairfield and Yennora.

At a business in Fairfield, a 21-year-old Guildford man was arrested and taken to Flemington police station.

Detectives seized more than 15 vehicles, as well as car parts, from premises in Old Guildford, Greystanes, Granville, Chester Hill, Berala, Fairfield and Yennora.

All the vehicles will undergo a forensic examination.

Detective Superintendent Ken McKay, Commander of the Middle Eastern Organised Crime Squad, said the operation involved 100 police from the State Crime Command, Forensic Services Group, Public Order and Riot Squad and South West Metropolitan Region.

The operation also involved the Roads and Traffic Authority, the Motor Traders Association and the NSW Office of Fair Trading.

Police believe a large number of the vehicles, mainly Honda and Mazda sedans, were stolen to order for panel shops, wrecking yards and individuals involved in rebirthing, Detective Superintendent McKay said.

Some of those arrested today will face charges of facilitating vehicle rebirthing, under legislation which was introduced in NSW last year.

Police say they are continuing to push for compulsory whole-of-vehicle marking, which is one of the greatest deterrents to rebirthing.

good work. nice to see police are acting against car theieves. when one of my cars were stolen I got the distinct impression that it was "tough break buddy" and that was the end of it. :D

These f**kers must have stolen a copper's car, or someone with enough political clout to get the cops to do something.

I get the feeling they're going to find the guy who walked off with Lawsy's golden mike before they find the guys who broke into my mate's place and stole all his stuff.

A nice gesture/effort by the cops but lets be real........... The laws in Aus are pathetic and these scumbags will be back at it within 3 months ( tops ) unless the cops can tie them into something else like guns or drugs.

So long as Australia has these "smack on the hand" laws, the crims will just keep going without fear.

BIG THANKS to all the people out there who preach that criminal's have rights and are people too !! :thumbsup: You're doing this world a great service :)

thats 5 less just another 1000 or more

yeah thats right. i dont think anyone is safe yet.

there are at least another 5 businesses i can think of that operate like that. and thats just the parra area.

    • 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.
