GM have been offering it as an option since 2007 in their northern built trucks. the way they do it though it quite a bit different to the aftermarket setup. add to the fact that most of the aftermarket installers will not (and often do not care) fit all the safety interlocks.

what MEA have done is open a can of worms. there is also a bias on that as the author works for DEI locally..

Yeah chris i know that , to me its like a turbo timer pure wank , sure i would like a cool car in hot days but you know the local scum would think they could steal the car even if they couldnt get two feet in it !! Its not worth broken window

The outdoor show car scene might grab a extra point lol

I want the car that can load the groceries in a down pour via remote haha

At some point it may fall back on the installers shoulders (you shouldnt install it since its a safety hazard ) liability issue? counter sued ?

the aftermarket parts sold that dont have disclaimers informing you a turbo timer is a defect ? that kind of deal and if the installer/ sales person / shop got fined for doing the wrong thing

It would open up a can of worms , selling items not legal for road use in australia? The nanny country lol

We should all drive airbags on wheels with gps control automatic speed sensor for each street which wouldnt work, the same street a block apart changes 2-3 times in speed in adelaide lol

Just think a car shaped like a marshmallow to protect us !!

Conform , succumb and obey lol

think about the CARB EO tags stuck on US based perfomance items. same idea when you look at it from a legal stance.

if we get into the aftermarket parts that do not conform debate then that really opens up a can of worms.

I don't think turbo timer's or Remote starts are pure wank.

Remote start is probably one of the best features of my skylines ;)

Cause when I'm on the shitter before I leave work, I can start my car and know its going to be ready for the daily commute :)

Always nicer to drive a car that has been idling a bit then driving off on a pure cold engine.

It's not like there going to know if you have it, my mate has had one since forever been pulled over heaps and never been seen.

Why would your mate have one on a push bike?

In the morning I start my car before I put my shoes on, and turn it off after I check the mail. Pretty simple...

Not sure about all states but in vic its illegal to have your car running when no one is right there with it. therefor making it a bit of a pointless thing

its a big ? , just like ADR in general state by state, who even knows anymore its a shot in the dark for all mods

its wank factor anyhow

Starting your car and walking two steps away you can be done for "aiding and abeiting "a criminal so watch out , same goes for keys in a car even in your driveway in whoop whoop , police can and will give you a summons for it , my friend got done in his driveway

Exactly - I pop the panel lift door and start the car in the garage every morning 5 minutes before I leave so that when I get out to the car I have 1) a nice and cool/warm cabin (depending on the season) and 2) engine all nicely warmed up - I need to pull out onto an arterial road within 1 minute of leaving my home, so need to give it a bit of stick in order to pull out safely ....

    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it. 
    • It always seems the uglier an animal is the more is costs
    • It's all about the socialisation of the dogs. In that first 8 to 16 weeks of age they need to be taught to be nice and friendly with everything. That way they generalise it to everything. That said, some days you'll just never beat genetics, but 99% of the time dogs chasing cats is purely lack of socialisation, and then the chasing part can turn into prey drive.
    • I bench bled my HFM BM57 before installing, it leaked badly. Threw it in the bin, because I installed it 2 years after purchase.
