bored?

wanna listen to scanners online?

enter this url into either winamp or vlc

http://www.waix.net:8000/scanner

(with vlc its under open/open network, then enter url)

then download this document for reference to police codes (which is slightly out of date):

police_jobcodes_2006.pdf

or you can visit

http://warsug.info/viewtopic.php?t=3 and also check out the forum

its cool to have it on in teh background and everynow and then something interesting will happen

(the scanner unit itself drops out after 2 sec of no communication, and then will pick up anything it hears - police, fire, ambos, bus/train)

I used to have a scanner, i bought it from tandys for 200 bucks, Bloody good to listen to on the weekend nights. I heard things from kids throwing fire crackers at cars, crashes, police chases, a riot in cannington with over 100 people, a guy going from door to door asking for money, ALOT of domestics, and one where a skyline and a ferrari that were drag racing along the kwinana fwy at over 170kph across the narrows haha and one of a old commodore doing bout 150 through a booze bus haha what an idiot, and heaps more.

A 'good' uhf will have this facility... at my old work i was having after work drinks listening to police freqs.

Best one I heard was about a 'ford falcon versus garage wall' lol... car chases are fun too...

Police have supposedl;y been going digital since pre-200... system has to many flaws, not happening anytime soon.

When i picked my 32 up from the car yard it still had the standard radio/cd player in it from japan, their radio frequencies must be close to our emergency frequencies as i could hear ambulance chit chat through it. . . . nothing exciting happened :)

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      This has been covered a bazillion times but google wet boiling point vs dry. Motul is only good when it's fresh, once it absorbs moisture it gets pretty average very quickly. So as above, make sure you change it if you're going racing. I run the Endless brake fluid in mind, but only because a mate is a distributor and it's cheap. It's not quite as good as SRF but I'm running 380mm rotors on a Skyline so it's not like they get hot.

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      That's the thing, they still add it and it makes fuel cheaper, implying adding 10% of it drops the cost of 91 by what, 5c a liter? I remember when it was barely half the price of 98. Because you know, 85% of what is in the fuel is way cheaper than 91 fuel is by volume.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Auto electricians that do repairs on automotive AC systems can source service kits. I don't know where they actually source them. I do know that there is one available for the R34 comp that I would need it for. If you have to pay someone to dismantle, clean and do needed repairs and fit kit contents, then you'd probably end up spending a good fraction of the cost of a new one. I would not be paying for that, because I would be doing it myself. My mechanic (bro-in-law) will happily source what is needed. Back in the day (like in the 80s and 90s), rebuilding an AC compressor was the standard approach, same as for starter motors, alternators, etc, because new replacements were v. expensive. After the China manufacturing boom and the rise of the disposable approach to everything, people just started throwing broken/worn stuff away and not rebuilding things.

      Is rebuilding it even a thing? Where would the shop find parts for it? I looked at some off these local online stores for my r34 and suprisingly they had brand new aftetmarket ones for $600-800 I think. I guess r32 might be a bit tougher.

      I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..
