Did anyone see Adam Pettett in the knox paper today? They are testing a 'Stalker' radar system on knox tmu cars. The radar is mounted on the side of the car and can report speeds of cars in front of the police vehicle. Pretty cool stuff.

I thought they already had that technology on police cars through the front grill?

I have a feeling Pettett is more concerned with canaries than speeding fines :bunny:

KNOX police have a new weapon to keep speeding motorists in check, but chances are you won't see them coming.

My ass! That thing sticks out like dog balls...if you can't see that on an unmarked car you deserve to get nabbed. It looks like a rocket launcher.

Terrible technology though...just another variable for error IMO...it's bad enough the stationary radars aren't calibrated very well let alone these moving ones which will have to detect their own speed as well as that of the car they are "stalking".

Don't see how it's 'new'

I got done by a moving, on coming, un marked car without a bazooka sticking out the window. It took all of about 1 second of being in sight of him for him to have my speed detected, lights on and pulling a U-turn.

Melton TMU has had them for a while (from what I heard first in VIC to get them), they have a range of 1 KM and detect speed of cars travelling away from or towards to the police car that the camera is mounted on while the police car is both stationary and moving.

it would defeat the purpose of on unmarked cop car, i have good enough eyes for antennas, would make it easier with those. also, how is that thing roadworthy? civilian cars can't have objects sticking out the side of them. seems unsafe to me. darn double standards.

yeah, i seem to remember seeing one of these when it was hanging off the side of Brand New VK commodore pursuit car. I don't think the cops have driven them for a few years now.

i got done in country VIC back in 1995 or 1996 by an oncoming cop driving towards me, the radar was out the side of the car.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞

      I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
