Hehe... now THIS is a good idea: Get a scanner, capture the audio and stream it onto the net in real time!

You'll need WinAmp to listen to the Perth boys-in-blue here.

(they also do ambulances & TransPerth etc. - the police stuff is usually on later at night)

Well, I was listening last night at 11pm and some kids were breaking into the Riverton shops (near me) - was almost tempted to go down for a look!

Anyone here ever been on a scanner cruise ? :)

yeah, we had a mates scanner for a few weeks and just drove around looking for action. we heard there was a bomb found at the belmont shops once when we were in freo.. we got there before the media and everything.. odd.

turns out it was an old used shell, nothing else of major importance.

I keep meaning to buy a scanner, one day.

It's amazing what kind of stuff goes on out there in Perth at night! Also had a mate's scanner a few years ago and was listening to a police pursuit up the Mitchell freeway - the cops had to abort a few times becuase of the speeds involved but it all ended with the car thieves ditching their ride and the cops catching them on foot in Scarborough - that was about an hour's worth of good entertainment! :)

Yeah seems as though the link is down!

This is fantastic though!! how cool would it be to be listening to something if it was happening nearby! i would be at the scene of a crime in a jiffy!

Hmmmmm how could we get this link so we could be listeening to it whilst in a car? Laptop with Mobile internet connection?? Big phone bill for that though huh! any other suggestion....It would be so much fun!! though quite annoying for the police if they were trying to sort out crimes and some little punks in skylines were there before they were...ahahah the looks on there faces would be funny though!!! something like this i'd say::eek:

Just go down to Dick Smith and buy a scanner for a couple-a-hundred bucks and off you go! If enough 'liners had scanners, we could organise a Scanner Cruise (11pm-3am - following the crime trail through Perth! :D )

Hell no!

$90 would be UHF handheld's.. e.g. 40channel CB's. etc. :D

the scanners are upwards, above $300...

my friend just bought both a few weeks ago :)

there's an actual scanner out for 90$ at one of the shops.. a mate saw it and checked it out.. but it only covers certain frequencies.. something ill have to look into before purchasing it.

mates old one use to do up to 1ghz?? or some crap, you were able to listen to the old analog mobiles which was always a blast :D.. but now there gone.. is there any need to listen to those frequencies up that high?

I just want, police band etc.

if ya spend a little more money you can get a police scanner and a uhf cb in one unit, either hand-held or fixed in-car. i have got one fixed in my car that does police and cb, and there is never a dull moment.

well worth the money....:D

      Fuel Filter replacement

      Not fine enough, only good as a pre filter. You need like a 10 micron. FWIW I run a 40 micron pre filter then before the rail, there's a 10 micron (maybe finer, can't remember).

      ER34 AT ECU and HKS SLD pins

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      OK, so. Look very closely at this. Here is a snip of the ECU diagram. Note that the VSS (Vehicle Speed Signal) input to the ECU is sent from the speedo head. The speed sensor on the gearbox (whether auto or manual) is connected to the speedo, and the speedo converts that AC voltage signal to a 0-5V DC PWM signal that the ECU reads. Pin 58 is NOT used by the ECU. It is used by the TCU. And unlike Duncan's thought on the matter, I would think that the only comparison done (by the TCU) would between trans output shaft speed and engine rpm. This so that the TCU can know whether the lockup converter is doing its thing, the clutches are managing shifts appropriately, etc etc. I would be willing to bet that the only speed signal you need to intercept with any speed cut defender, regardless of auto or manual transmission, would be the VSS into pin 29. That is the only speed signal available on a manual. And here is the rub. Your car is a manual. So why are we even having this conversation. There is NO speed signal input on pin 58 on your car right now and it runs just fine. That should tell you how important that pin is for your manual ECU.

      Well, I want to  move to AN8 fittings, and the OEM has a barb.   And I plan on doing these things first, as I can do them, and if the problem persists after I will then take it to a mechanic.
