Well, that function came in handy for me the other night.

3 guys tried to jump me in my car and rip my keys out.

But because it wasn't in park, they couldn't get the keys out, and I had my seat belt on, so they couldn't pull me out.

Once one of the guys hit me, i just turned the car on and took off.

Anyhow, yes i've looked unter there, but is it worth cutting a wire that you're not 100% on?

My car's alarm works well with my HKS Turbo Timer, but the turbo time will turn itself off as soon as my hand brake is taken off...

Happend in Bunbury, underneith son of rajab forrest car park. Walking to my car with my g/f around 1am on Sunday morning (Sat night), i hear these chicks shout out "shannon, shannon, heres the guy you wanna smash" blah blah... I hopped in my car, started to drive off. 3 Guys walk up, order me out of the car, opened my door, tried ripping me out. but i had my seatbelt on. Meanwhile one guy had turned the car off, and couldn't get the keys out.

While the other guys had me half out the door, one guy hit me and gave me a black eye. So i managed to start the car, drive to the cop shop. But it was closed, and so i called them. They advised me to go to the hospital and get a report. Then come back in the morning, because they were too busy.

So I did, I described the guys, and they knew exactly who they were.

Not until a week and a bit later, a cop calls me and lets me know one of the guys has been charged with assault. And will get back to me about the other guy who actually hit me. Nearly been 4 weeks since the incident and the cop still hasn't called me back.

The guy was after me, because i apparently did burnouts infront of his house. Which is a total load of shit.

And thats his reason. Had i been dragged out of the car, i'd still be in hospital.

Rule no 1 always lock you car doors when in the car in areas of doubt - i do this in Northbridge etc

This is the reason while central locking/ unlocking is being phased out in newer cars in europe, where pressing the button only opens the drivers door as car jackers are hoping in the passenger side as you get in.

Glad to hear you are ok and remind me not to do burnouts in Bunbury

Anyhow i like my $30 turbo timer thanks kym

My passenger door automatically locks itself after 15secs of starting the vehicle haha confuses people when they are trying to get out of my car - was under the impression that every line did this?

Ive heard that you can buy a turbo timer n boost controller in one. True or False? Just heard it off a mechanic i used to work with but ive never seen one. If i can get it in the one unit i would look at putting one in.

Well, I could of done alot of things to prevent it.

I stopped for a start, and wound down the window.

I really thought it was mistaken identity, but this guy just had it in for me, and i believe he still does. Hes assaulted 2 cops while holding up Blockbuster once. So the cops know him well. Hes not all there upstairs.

I'm still considering a restraing order aswell. But that means i gotta go to the courthouse and stand before a madistrate.

my mates R33 does this also, unsure if its a feature on all 33's, it locks the doors when it goes above 10-15km/h or so.

my alarm locks the doors when the car starts and unlocks them when it is turned off... according to the book its an anti-hijack feature.

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
