hey guys, i just watched the news and they are talkin bout hooning and shit again, particularly about p-platers. this time, they are talkin about bringing in crushing-the-hooner's-cars laws if they were caught. more undercover cops will be around this time as well. on the news, they also show a done up commodore being crushed and evos and fc rx7s being confiscated, luckily no skylines on the video. as usual they showed the blue S15 doin doughnuts video again and surprisingly, a pulsar doin FWD burnouts as well.

k now i have no problem with people who do the wrong thing being punished but from what little i know this whole hoon law thing is a bit ambiguous for the total confiscation of someones car

and as for crushing what a waste of time hows about you auction it off and use the funds for better roads, education, helping out victims of road accidents etc

and while im on my soapbox lets stop bothering about afew burnouts and deal harsher with the serious problems like drink drivers and road ragers take their cars off them damn it

I think they said on the third offence (or after the third offence not sure which) they will either crush the car, auction it off or use it in undercover operations. I just reckon it's scare tactics, would get contested in court immediately and no doubt the cops would lose the case. It is stupid anyway as people who fall into that situation would be more likely to try and getaway from the cops and be even more reckless doing so knowing their car would get confiscated/crushed if they get caught.

Apparently they're also starting a new operation using "hoon" like vehicles with plain clothed police officers who will no doubt be entrapping people to street race putting the public at risk. It's a shame our police force wastes an enormous amount of resources on such a minor demographic when it could be done much more effectively with less resources and especially when it should really be going towards more important things like burglary... if you call the cops after your house has been robbed (or even if you catch the thief yourself) the cops will take their sweet arse time getting there (hours) but I bet if you made a phone call about hearing a "hoon" they'd be there within minutes.

Not to mention the hoon law is complete crap in the first place and is basically a free pass for the power trip cops to do as they please.

Nah, the fact that "hoons" take priorities over murderers is GREAT!! Anytime we have paint sniffing natives at work (I'm not racist) we just tell the cops there is also someone doing burnouts in the carpark. Then they take the 2 minute drive from the cop shop and move them along. /sarcasm

Ok, it takes 40 minutes, they need to get their priorities right, but thats for another thread.

Honestly, cops trying to race you is just f**ked up. Why waste time, money, and effort to encourage people to do something dangerous in the attempt to "save" lives? Try going after the dickhead I saw the yesterday fish tailing up Mirrabooka Avenue in a red Ford AU Falcon who ended up doing a full 180. Imo THAT is more dangerous then 2 cars (one driven by a cop) doing 140 in a 100 zone!

Also, if you get hoonlawed 3 times, you deserve to be shot! Sorry, but thats just stupid!

yeah i saw sorta the same story the other night but it was about how people are setting up illegal drag and burnout meets

on the outer parts of perth, nice one from the blue rb powered s13 but the reason for the news bit was coz someone who

remains annonymous handed over his info on the whole scene, must have had a bad day with his car buddies an decided

to help end hoons, dunno how many mates he's got left now

Fairly sure i had a cop trying to get me to race him once, old falcon (super old like XYish age), dude was spinning his finger as in like "smoke it up" or whatever and was spinning the back tyres waiting for the lights when i noticed a commodore behind me, i took off slowly when the other guy launched and when i turned off i noticed the car behind me was an undercover car surprised me the undercover didnt chase the other guy and i didnt think much of it.

Just saw yet another "hoon law" article. Almost every clip was shot at Barbagallo either at the drifts or at Powercruise, and interviews of not-so-intelligent people saying how they don't think burnouts are illegal.

They were also talking about the poor 16yo girl who died in the 180SX crash. What about the 20+ people died on the road over the Christmas season? As far as I know, only 2 people have died in a performance car in the last 6 months or so, one was doing the speed limit, yet was still made out to be the bad guy.

Exactly, because of australias aging population cracking down on "hoons" is a great win with the public. They dont even really care about what the hoon legislation does as they dont really understand it that much and most of them drive 60 in an 80 "because thats safer". The fact is Politicians only care because it gets them votes, and hence gets them paid.

We'll be old one day. I wonder if we will still disapprove?

Man I swear this hoon crap pops on a monthly basis.

It pops up for a while & disappears, & repeat...

Also does anyone have the link to that "new" hoon video on the news that you guys are talking about?

I stopped watching AU TV the minute I found out how to BT.

The old folks who can't drive over 60km/h in their 3 cylinder Charades who complain when us young hoons "flog" it off the lights in our stupidly-loud "hoon cars". I shift at 3000rpm and still leave the 1.5L shit boxes behind. And yet... I'm the bad guy?

Of course you are the bad guy! His old therefore he can't be the bad guy... nah jokes ;)

But thats how these people think anyway.

I remember a while back while I was waiting at Nandos I was flicking through the pile of newspaper there & found this article where it talks about how the cops found a holden ute doing close to 100km/h in a 40 zone so they stopped the ute & did the hoon law on him & took his car away.

The problem is the driver is a 70yr old flamin mongrel, who started complaining to the cops, & he even made the remark that he is a good driver & that the hoon laws shouldn't target people like him (coz his old), it should target younger drivers & their cars.

Some f***** nerve his got to speak like that, he even mentioned that his going to court regarding this matter & getting his car back.

If you ask me, if they do bring in the crushing a hoon's car law here, the cops should crush his car asap & ban him from driving for life.

His attitude totally pisses me off :D

End rant.

    • 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.
