Hey people

Here I was reading the Roleystone Courier (a little gossip rag for us hill billies) and I see the following article..

Dob In a Hoon Proposal

The City of Armadale has announced that it is interested in pursuing the Dob in a Hoon program as another weapon against the irresponsible driving antics some drivers get up to on their suburban streets.

This provides another opportunity for the community to provide information to the police about anti-social behaviour related to "hoons driving cars" and is linked to the recent State Government "Hoon Legislation".

Whilst the community already has the opportunity to report concerns direct the the police (by calling the Dob in a Hoon Hotline 9398 0020) this program uses the Local Authority as the "go between" in that they receive the initial information, collate the responses in a database and forward the results to the police weekly, to both follow up on individual incidents but also to look at "trends and hot spots".

The City of Gosnells has linked this to their City Watch and Community Safety programs and the City of Armadale is considering doing likewise through their Community Safety Advisory Committee and Community Safety plan.

The City of Armadale is looking at a number of options which will become an agenda item to the Community Services Committee and Council in January and it will also be referred to the Community Safety Advisory Committee (CSAC) for possible inclusion in the Community Safety Plan (which is currently under review)

Well I think its about time I started attending my local council meetings...

and "Hot spots"..... there goes the precious truck stop :D

Thats it Dad, I am finding a nice retirement home for you!

Dad was a "Trev" into V8 Fords and he was that way until after I was born!

Also, how can they bust you if they have no evidence with this dob in a hoon crap? I could get 5 of my friends together who all hate someone and say we saw them drag racing or something and there is 5 of us. Proove it I say!

I hated Armadale as a Kid to the point i avoid it at all costs.

I remember it as a small town with lots of farms (early 70s)Hows that for old but  i can remember perth stopping at scarborough with nothing but bush past there.

Shit it its time for a nursing home.

you should listen to my dad telling stories of how he was chosen to run for Malaysia in the Olympics at the age of 18....

all good until u realize he's talking abt Rome 1960!! :headspin:

Holy crap... this is the bit where I admit I grew up in armadale... and say "I concur"

I remember the days of orchard fields, no armadale road dual carriage-ways, and Armadale city opening it's world class new extension (it was still a hole!) to double it's size :|

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
