Wouldn't usually post stuff like this, but just in case...

I received this email from a mate;

BEWARE OF PAPER IN THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE

NEW WAY TO DO CAR JACKINGS

(NOT A JOKE)

You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. You start the engine and shift into Reverse.

When you look into the rearview mirror to back out of your parking space, you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window.

So, you shift into Park, unlock your doors, and jump out of your car to remove that paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view..

When you reach the back of your car, that is when the car jacker's appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off.

They practically mow you down as they speed off in your car.

And guess what, ladies?

I bet your purse is still in the car.

So now the carjacker has your car, your home address, your money, and your keys.

Your home and your whole identity are now compromised!

BEWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED....

If you see a piece of paper stuck to your back window, just drive away.

Remove the paper later And be thankful that you read this e-mail.

I hope you will forward this to friends and family, especially to women.

Agreed... But that would require common sense, something that the majority of our populace is missing (or choose to ignore)

... or find piece of paper on your window. Drive off a bit anyway. See who comes out of hiding, then reverse and run the f**ker over! :wave:

i would agree not everyone would see it .

alot of people come hard on from the side, only a small amount come from behind and thats when they forgot where they parked

TJ, is this really the place to describe your bedroom antics!

Damnit dude! Why'd you have to go tell everyone?! All I ever wanted was 16 Stageas in my driveway (don't ask me why), and now what chance do I have?! Sheesh: some people......

In all seriousness, it's not a bad scam: I don't think most people would notice it on the way back to their car, and most would probably assume it was a worthless piece of advertising if they saw it once they were in the car. The Police beat at my local shopping centre used to leave a slip under the front window wipers either congratulating you on having locked your car when they checked, or chastising you for leaving it unlocked ( I believe they actually tried to lock unsecured cars, if they could)...

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
