once the turbo timers on.. couldnt someone get in the car (ie break window etc) then once inside just keep pushing the turbo timer button to the longest amount of time then just keep pushing it??? someone could potentially keep driving until they reach their garage where they strip your car etc....

im sure it happened to my friend as a joke... but his was just driven round the corner.

hehe yeh good point but u can disable that with a screwdriver and a bit of effort.

Remember the simpsons ep where Mr Burns gives Bart the ferrari and he cant even see over the wheel. ahh i loved that ep:lol:

  • 2 years later...

with my car being an auto u cant get the keys out of the ignition unless its in park and cant change gears without the keys being in the ignition. hell u cant go into reverse unless u put ure foot onto the brake.....

but even still if the people can find ure TT then they have direct acces to ure ignition wires and can just satart it coz most immobilizers dont activate till 30 secs after the car stops, unless u have ure alarm wired in to allow it....

Bambam when you say they "searched" your car what exactly did they do and where did they look?:eek1:

Searching Persons without a Warrant

The Police Powers and Responsibilities Act permits police officers to search persons without a warrant.

The authority of the police to search a person without a warrant is dependent upon the existence of a ‘prescribed circumstance’. If a police officer reasonably suspects that a ‘prescribed circumstance’ exists. The prescribed circumstances in which an officer may search a person without a warrant includes circumstances in which the person is reasonably suspected to be in possession of:

a weapon, knife or explosive;

an item which the person intends to use to cause harm to any person;

a dangerous drug;

stolen, illegally obtained or tainted property;

evidence of the commission of an offence punishable by a minimum of seven (7) years imprisonment, which the police officer reasonably suspects may be concealed or destroyed if a search is not conducted;

an implement of housebreaking, motor vehicle theft or drug use.

Searching Vehicles without a Warrant

An identical set of rules apply to police searches of vehicles without a search warrant. A police officer may stop and search a vehicle, together with anything in it, if any of the above ‘prescribed circumstances’ exist.

When searching a vehicle, the police are allowed to enter, re-enter and stay in the vehicle as often, and for as long, as is necessary to properly carry out their search. The police also have the power to move a vehicle to an appropriate place for a search, in particular if it is impracticable to search the vehicle where stopped.

    • Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.
    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
