Wow learn something new every day...

I would've thought that light waves would've been more accurate than sound waves as there is less distortion (not to mention that light travels a whole lot faster). Hmm maybe not.

siksII you seem somewhat pleased that the highway officer pulled you over?~?~?

yes it may have read that way but trust me i am VERY ANNOYED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i guess i am trying to look at it in the best light possible to be less pissed off overall, as in i did not get defected and the cop was not a massive tool. but yes still very pissed off dont get me wrong!!! :(:teehee::O:(:D

now i feel bad for sounding positive about it, maybe i should edit my post make it sound more grim :O:(

FYI, Radio waves /= (do not equal) sound waves.

Radio waves are part of the EM spectrum, which includes Gamma Rays, X-Rays, Infra-Red, Radio, Light, Microwaves etc.

There's no "distortion" but there is a difference in the reflective, absorption, scattering and interference properties between Radio and Light (visible or otherwise) Radiation.

Also light speed is a constant (although this is in debate) - and thus all electromagnetic waves, whether they are light or radio or x-ray in nature (the names merely refer to the frequency of the EM wave) - all of them travel the same speed...

So today is your lucky day, you have in fact learnt two things. :sorcerer:

I'm not convinced its a cop either.

Security guards always tell people to move on, and they often have different radios and such. Not uncommon to see them in their own cars either.

Only strange thing is that he had a siren. But its no real trouble to get that.

came across a XR8 middle eastern operations unit undercover vehicle... they were bothering these Greek boys who were standing next to their GTs and susing them out accusing them they were middle eastern.

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
