ok so i went to pick my car from the impound today and to my surprise the car was running. when the car was impounded before it went on the tow truck i put a 2000rpm limiter on the car through the handset removed the handset from the car unpluged the the microtech and x6 box and hid the wiring under the carpet also removed the battery isolaler switch and hid it in the boot. so my question was " how did you get the car runing" cops "we didnt touch it it came like this" at the end of the day what can i do. the cops are f**ked. but at lease they cleaned it

Man i totally agree! I had my car go to police impound years ago. Came back without a headunit. I had removed all other items so it was the only thing that was still in there.

Thats crazy they got your car running though!!! Complimentary free police tune maybe? :laugh:

"Cops" only do the paperwork and confiscate the car. It is towed by tow companies and stored by private contractors. They detail the stuff about he car before it gets taken away an thats the last they ever see of it. Hrdly their fault. You might want to take it up with other people.

Except for the cars that are held in the actual police impound lots...

I was just going off his location of Northen Beaches.

Yes country imounds are different.

yeah, NFI how Sydney impounds work...

Wollongong has 2 impounds that I know of (One for each LAC) and they're both full... So now they take them to the owners house park it on the front lawn and wheel clamp them... Public humiliation...

The impound in which my vehicle was held in the police impound located in enfield. Its also the same place where the cops fit out their cars with sirens, radios etc. VERY police controlled but they do have civilian workers aswell. Its on the same lot as a vehicle auction place. Pickles maybe. Cant remember. I'd imagine one of the civilian workers pinched my headunit. I just find it unbelievable that it can happen in a police impound. But they are above the law.

About as far as police control went was the managers looking after the vehicle fitouts. As stated. The towing and storage of the cars is purely private sector. Police were there from 9-5 and then it is anyones guess. It was never police property.

    • 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...
