With all the high profile car theft going on in ACT at the moment, just a heads up to people to note any suspicious activity around their car. Some people have been using tow trucks and just dragging cars onto them to never be seen again.

Only reason I bring this up is because over the weekend I have spotted a red commodore (VN/VP) and also a wine red R33 GTST driving up my street slowing down right out the front of my house and people looking up into the garage and driving off. Making me a tad uneasy and concerned.

What high profile cars have been stolen, I haven't heard anything.

Im certainly aware of all the recent "tow away thefts". I know a couple of cars that have gone bump in the night! The sadest thing is that statistically they all end up in a thousand pieces in Sydney! Like all the hard work and hard earned money you spent is nothing to them!

Oh and if your saying that they wont break in to other cars just to get them out of the way then your mistaken! The last high profile car taken was parked in by two other cars!

You have to realise some people slowing down for a look are enthusiasts, which can make it hard to discern between those taking a look and those scoping the car/security out. I had a Nissan Exa, white with big Nismo sticker up the side drive past my car in Woden a while ago, reverse and sit looking at the car for a few seconds before speeding off...heard on these forums they did the same to someone else. if you think someone looks suspicious, take down their rego and note the cars make/model/colour. You just can't be too careful these days.

Also make sure not to give out your rego numbers and address on these forums, you don't know who's reading it.

mmmmm and while were on this topic has anyone got issue 29 of autosalon? well if you dont it has a big article on a guy in syd who was almost killed for his GTR33. a wrx rammed into the back of him and tricked him into getting out of his car to see what was going on. i wont ruin the rest of the story for you though so have a read as its actually pretty informative on car thieves

The real cupprit here is our law enforcers, the cops do all the work getting these slimes, and then the courts let 'em go with a good behaviour bond. They plead it was a first time and they were desperate for funds etc etc.

They are back out on the street in no time. If it was tougher they'd all be locked away or it wouldn't be worth their while vs gaol time etc.

but trident, they've had hard childhoods, their parents were divirced or their father's did'nt love them enough, or too much and they once saw their beloved pet cat get run over, how can you not show compassion to the little deev-o bastards? NOT THE SARCASM!

i agree with you completely! im so sick of the sons of bitches getting let off when they should be locked up, then beaten daily with oversized dildo's!

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
