Hey Everyone,

On Saturday night around 2am someone decided they were going to try and steal my GTR, fortunately I had an Alarm system so they bolted but it is aside the point.

As most of you are probably aware this is the second time in a few months that someone has tried to steal my cars and several months before that it happened as well so this is the Third time someone has tried to pinch my cars :blink:

I am sharing this with all of you so if you HAVEN'T got an alarm system, go buy one, it could save your car or the property inside of it that you don't want stolen!!!

If you see any kids roaming the streets late at night, just call security / police and get them to patrol the area, they might not be up to anything dodgy but you can never be too sure, they could be the culprits!!!

Also - when driving in Atwell, DON'T be a dickhead and fang it up the streets (i.e. Tapper Road). The cops have actually rocked up to my house several times lately (the neighbours are obviously getting annoyed) and have not only confronted me and asked me where I have been and whether my car was still hot or not but they have also been monitoring my driving trips to the extent of, When I leave for work, when I get home from work and the route I take. I would hate to see anyone get pinged in an off chance that someone has complained about a similar car to yours and the cops but their finger on you.

Oh and one final thing, FYI - there are over 30 police officers living in Atwell so I don't think you'd want to piss them off either!

I think that's all I had to say!

Cheers

Do you have a shed or undercover area that you could store you car in or is it parked on your driveway?

Nah its kept in the Carport! I think I'll have to start parking my Astra in front of it again, but that's such an inconvenience so move it there every night and then move it again in the morning.

If it saves a GTR being stolen then I personally wouldn't see it as an inconvenience :D You haven't had the car that long either, so protect it at all costs.... someone is watching your place :blink:

ah so your one of the hoons they mentioned they are following on the news? unlucky to be labelled like that :blink:

Yeah but I don't know why I'm being followed hey... its weird. I mean yeah, who doesn't give their car shit and as for Tapper Road that I mentioned, every single car speeds down that street at over 30kms over the limit so I think you'd have to be pretty unlucky to get fined there!

Damnit I'm not a hoon!!! (well only in industrial open areas.... hahaha kidding!)

Invest in a keypad immobiliser alarm system, and have it hidden from view. That's what I had in my GTR. Even if theives broke in and took your keys, they won't be moving very far. The keypad was attached to my fuel pump, so you could start the car but it would stall a couple seconds later.

When you do own performance cars such as GTRs, HSVs etc you really do need to put them in a locked up garage. I would never own a performance car if I knew I couldn't secure it properly.

Jess, I would also tell the cops sfa about what you do, where you have been, other personal infomation etc Goes for anyone else here. Tell them to **** off and send you a summons if they want to start charging you with something.

If they've been trying to steal the GTR 3 times already with no luck, think they'll think smarter and go thru the house next time and look for the keys.

best to just chuck the GTR undercover and keep the Astra outside.

too many nice cars are getting stolen these days.

Subaru WRX with license plate got stolen with plates [KEKEKE], was pure luck someone found it at the traino.

Jess, that sound bad. Parking the daily in behind the Line sounds like a start. Up grade the alarm sounds like a plan...but also make sure your insurance is paid up. This Police harassment makes me think someone has put you on "the hoon list". If you can carry off the stand up citizen role go and have a word with the duty sergeant and give him WTF? No threats but more of the hey I'm a good person cut me a break would you.

Failing that move to an area with less cops lol

+1 for keypad alarm, my bro had that in his old STI, keys are useless without the pin. If I had to park mine outside/not in a garage I'd want the same thing.

JOONDALUP, yes i live next to the police academy, but there are Nerver police in Joondalup, its all show. :D

They don't even have their police station running because of that fire attack :(

JOONDALUP, yes i live next to the police academy, but there are Nerver police in Joondalup, its all show. :(

lol there are a few, they drive unmarked ford territories and ve's, but the area is usually patrolled by security, they all sit down at neil hawkins park and eat donuts waiting for idiots from gbt and dirty dusk to make trouble :D

man seems like atwell just keeps getting dodgier and dodgier? lol my car got mega keyd when i parked it outside a primary school there came back kids were gone car was keyd :? so yeah def dodgy area i guess but theres a fair bit of lines over at atwell danno prob unlucky but sky ryan parks his car ouside and never gets any trouble?

    • 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.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
