won't people then just make fake reports?

Yeah, I dont like that EMSTA guy. Lets report him for hooning. "Um i swear officers, he was like going sidewayz, fully sick and all".

Yeah and get ya m8 in the passenger set to log another report on the same incident just to be sure.

Man I see that as a good way for people who hate losing being out burned at lights to report ya as a hoon. (Namely Commondore drivers)

Yeah, im pretty sure the system will not work well. Your taking a random persons word that another driver was "hooning". There would at least have to be a system where they would have to receive 'x' amount of reports aboput the same incident or multiple reports about the same driver for it to be even remotely accurate

In a related Herald Sun report:

It will give police more intelligence ...

God knows, they need some :laughing-smiley-014:

But really, dangerous driving and hooning aren't necessarily the same. Some idiot driving without any realisation of what is happening around him can be just as dangerous as the aforementioned 17 yo idiot

I dont get it somethin Im not proud of I got clocked 130km/h in a 70km/h zone.. no newspaper article for me and before everyone gets too uptight about the speeding.. I was on the way to my mothers car accident where a guy was threatening her by the side of the road...still shouldnt have sped and was stupid now I think about it but sometimes in those situations the blood rushes to your head..whats funny is my mother had been waiting 10minutes for a cop car to arrive.. I got pulled up just around the corner from the accident by a copper sitting there with a radar gun..

As far as the hoon hotline goes it won't work its a bit like the epa hotline.. I have a friend of a friend who has been reported to the epa 3 times for littering all 3 times he has successfully defended himself in court by saying it was mates playing a prank..

i was driving around the block in my mates area a few times coz i just had the new clutch put in was trying it out.. wasnt speeding i dont think just trying to get used to the clutch, and i couldve sworn sum guy was calling the cops and reporting my plates just because of the BOV sound he was probably reporting me as hooning! We'll he was on the phone and he was staring my car down then as i went past him was walking onto the middle of the road while on the phone and looking at the back of my car so im guessing he reported my plates? 2 months or so late havent heard anything =]

But this anti-hoon line is gonna be stupid everyones gonna dobb in everyone they dont like

i can see people ringing just for the sack of getting the cops onto the neighbours..

was at a mates house when another mate turned up, had his car idling for a bit to cool down and was checking a couple things under the bonnet, when a neighbour comes out screaming and shouting, telling him off for "hooning". The car was idling, I don't know how that can be hooning..

they cant do you over on the word of another citizen.... even when a cop pulls you over with a radar gun they have to SHOW you the reading if you ask...

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
