what do you all think of this new drug tester that all the cops are floggin off over ...

I hope it never hits the roads like previous models they have had.

I mean it might not affect everyone but it will affect me and if they ever ask me to chew on the tester thingy i will tell them exactly where they can insert that tester ...

I reckon that it wont be used because it would take extensive cross testing to see if anything gives faulse readings like some cough mixtures and sudafed that contain pseudoephedrine which is a main chemical that is used im amphetamines..

hmmm ..depends, they said it would only pickup certain types of drugs. So i doubt it would pick up dope or something like that?

They say you have to suck on the stick thing for like 1-3 minutes, so i doubt they're going to use it that much because of the time it would take and the holdup to traffic. So I can only see them using it if they thought you had the obvious signs of being on some type of drug.

ppl shouldn't be driving on drugs anyhow if u ask me. I'm not sure whether i believe the statistics (as always) but they say i think it was 30% of people involved in fatal accidents have drugs in their system.

If you ask me, most of the problem coming home from those things is the tiredness of dancing for 10 hours straight or something.. and then coming down and fatigue finally hitting you, not the drugs themselves. And considering their is no "fatigue tester" then i don't see it doing much difference.

Problem with truckies is that as much of it is to meet stupid deadlines and push more crap thru to make more money and stay awake. All they'll do is come up with a masking agent or something or just change the drugs. That area of elicit drugs is pretty organised.

I think in reality, drug testing can never really do too much - just like in sport whereas the drug manufacturers are always 2 steps ahead of the testing.

another question this tester raises.....dope stays in your system for ages......what happens if you smoke a jay the day/night before the day you are going for a drive and get tested?? Tech speaking you are not under the influence but it may still be in your system.....

I dont think the local dealer around the clubs could give a toss if its detectable, so I think that the 2 steps ahead thing doesnt apply in this case...

If you take any sort of drugs, first off your a tool, second of all you are in no shape to be driving!!

** Note... I had a friend die through drug related causes when I was younger so im very much against drug use.

it only tests saliva and even thor thc stqays in ya fat cells for up to 3 months it isnt in your saliva unless you had a bong a few hours earlier, with amphetamines im not sure what te go would be with taken oraly/sniffed to injected cos both ways give u the dries and make your saliva clagy .. either way as stated b4 i dont think the tester will be for everyday use ..

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.

      @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html

      These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.

      The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.

      It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
