all i can say is the gps in my boat is pretty damm accurate mmm lets say there is a man made lump about 16 ks off shore its about 2 metres round and a metre high and when my gps says where on the spot the echo sounder show;s it every time without fail and hopefully some fish as well lol

gps is extremely accurate for military applications however they remove the accuracy for civilian use. still, its accurate enough.

it works via measuring the distance to the nearest 4 gps satellites and then using triliteration to calculate the location. so by definition, it does infact poll satellites and does have unique identifiers (similar to a network cards mac address).

Whether or not they do datalogging from the satellite side, its another story. Some GPS client devices do logging...

End of the day, there are almost 6.8 billion people on this planet. No computer technology these days has a) the capacity b) the I/O and c) the AI to be of any practical use. Theres simply no way any agency or government can totally track individuals.

There are technologies such as echelon which are massive data processing looms that examine phone conversations, photo identity, sms/email/mail, and internet traffics however the technology is only a means for known searches to happen. Ala doing a google search. You have to know what you're looking for to actually make use of the technology. It wont pre-emptively/intuitively discover nefarious behavior, that is where good old fashioned police intuition comes into play.

And when that comes into play, it becomes a simple matter of flying lower than the radar scans. Keep your head down and dont attract attention to yourself. Ahh such a great philosophy. Helps with so many facets of life :) it just depends on how determined people are to find an individual.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
