Last night kababs car decided to not let him back into it, so the alarm went off and we spent sometime trying to figure out how to start the thing to no avail.

So we decided to quickly go up the road to get his other key and as we pulled out of the car park in chatswood the police where coasting up and they promptly hit the disco lights and pulled me over.

I started to get out of the car but he asked I stay put, so I did and wound down the window.

The officer came up and asked whats going on, babs explained that his car was being temprimental and then I enquired if someone has reported it. He said they had gotten a call, he asked for my license and bab's number plate and then let us go. (after we both thanked him for his time and for doing this, he said that these cars are a bit of a target)

Its just nice to hear a positive police story every now and then.

well response time is hard to judge because we dont know who called up. some people left the car park but paused for a bit at the entrance, they could have been the ones who called up. If thats the case then I would suggest 10 minutes would be close to the mark.

(PS. Donnie darko was brilliant, loved it and if you know where to get the dvd let me know)

gotta say, 10 min is pretty good. can we borrow some of your cops down south way:)

yeah Donnie was quiet the little masterpiece. unfortunately the DVD doesn't come out 'till June or thereabouts. an ex-rental copy on eBay went for $41 the other day. if you like your movies and can appreciate good work, watch "Amelie". I thought it was an exceptional movie. word of warning though. it's in French with english subtitles (better for it imo)

yeah the cops were cool. It's a worry though that certain suburbs have so much interference that RF stuff just stops working (car alarms, WLAN etc). Makes you want to go out wearing a lead-lined hector...

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?

      I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
