Hi

I have heard recently there will be extra police presence around service station establishments in the south eastern suburbs due to excess drive offs and unregistered vehicles in the area

Service stations around Dandenong, Hallam, Endeavour Hills, Narre Warren and a few other neighbouring suburbs will have extra police, mostly undercover cars patrolling service stations

It was due to start on the 14th of July and I have already seen a few hanging around near the exits of service stations in my area

Just a heads up for everyone

Thanks

Really nice to know i spose that narre was on the top 5 list for hooning

Not Hooning in Nazza Wazza...... Drive offs from petrol stations..... Sharron in her VK commo wagon with her mockies would rather buy a carton of smokes tahn pay for petrol....

happend to me at shell on corner of springvale and whitehorse road.. cop came in, watching me fill up and go and pay... then tried to give me a fine cuz my car was too high powered for a P plater.... I got out of it cuz mines heavier ... GTS4 ftw!!! :D

Great. So is the "hanging around petrol stations" operation a temporary thing or what? I did notice a few more cops on the roads last night then normal.

But then...what's normal?

I was gonna fill up after the meet tonight as well...screw that. I'm gonna fill up in the city instead...

Good ol narre is also the target for hightened police activity in relation to it being in the top 3 for cars seized due to 'hooning'. The operation is running over the periond of 1 month.

What were the top 2?

I went to the casino last night and did notice a lot more cops than normal, normaly see 1 or 2 but saw 6 or 7 last night, half of those had someone pulled over.

Did you just tell them its heavier and they accepted it? or did you need to show some proof etc.

As its the police word over yours if they believe the car is over powered.. :D

I've started to see and hear about some strange cars as unmarked cars. I saw a white VT Commodore (I think that's around the right model, looks right) that pulled over a car. Wasn't nice and shiny like you may expect, was kind of muddy etc.

My sister said she saw a Toyota Kluger too.

I'd say you were lucky more than anything. If it was a TMU guy he'd know A) gts4 would be fine, as it's a non-turbo, and B) to book you for running a modified engine if it's the turbo conv in his sig.

Mate I have nightmares about the TMU.... I am so sh*t scared... I could not afford all the issues...

Yeh we argued for a while..... cuz on his little shitty specs sheet of cars he likes to pick up it didn't have a GTS4... and up until recently I never thought there existed a standard R33 GTS4 turbo model.... but then I was at autobarn the other day and started talking to one of the guys.... turns out when he used to live in NZ he owned one....never ever seen one here...

so he didn't know what to do... so I told him, why don't you take the power from a standard gtst and use the weight of a gtr.... he didn't even know how to do the equation! so i did that for him aswell! turns out according to those numbers the car was legal ( i know it was bs...)

he took down my details and said he would call me if he went back to the station and looked up the specs of my car and saw that I was lying.... I told him its a really rare skyline and you wont find the details......

I never heard back from him :laugh::D:D:D:D:D

If I was you, I'd disconnect all your phones or else 3 points + $1100 fine if he calls you back :laugh:

    • 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.
