It doesn't matter what car the perpetrators or the victims are driving....commodores or whatever. People who steal cars, bash people in other cars in road rage or drive like dickheads and end up in car chases are criminals and should be treated as such. We all need to be responsible for our own actions.

Let's hope the victim in this case pulls through and is able to enjoy a life that has been jeopardised by someone elses actions.

Trouble is though if you make a blanket rule of "don’t chase them" it sends out a message of - "do what you like, if you are caught just drive fast and the cops wont chase you"

It’s a bit like the teachers at school who always gave you a second/third/fourth chance. The good kids respected that but the idiots just abused the privilege.

I think the police have to be trained to use their discretion of when / where to chase and when it is just not worth it. Is it any different than when we fang it with a mate on an empty road at night? (We know we wouldn’t be doing it if it was rush hour).

I follow 9krpms sentiments.

All the best wishes to the victim and family members

Car thieves/vandalism should attract the death penalty. (especially if it’s mine)

I am not an advocate of people not being chased. Chase the pricks, cos if you dont you are just encouraging them.

Send them to gaol, give them huge fines - that will make them think. It seems strange that crimes against society seem to attract relatively minor fines/penalties, yet bullshit things (car too low, turbo timer fitted, travelling 3km over the limit) and you cop a decent fine??

Seems to me if you want to be a dick head, you will get treated with kidd gloves, normal joe, get treated like a criminal.

What ever happened to getting a warning if you were caught a few kms over the speed limit? Happens to everyone. They (polititians) are just money hungry, and yet when it comes to minority groups (real criminals) they seem to get away pretty easy alot of the time.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • 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.
