all i can say is the gps in my boat is pretty damm accurate mmm lets say there is a man made lump about 16 ks off shore its about 2 metres round and a metre high and when my gps says where on the spot the echo sounder show;s it every time without fail and hopefully some fish as well lol

gps is extremely accurate for military applications however they remove the accuracy for civilian use. still, its accurate enough.

it works via measuring the distance to the nearest 4 gps satellites and then using triliteration to calculate the location. so by definition, it does infact poll satellites and does have unique identifiers (similar to a network cards mac address).

Whether or not they do datalogging from the satellite side, its another story. Some GPS client devices do logging...

End of the day, there are almost 6.8 billion people on this planet. No computer technology these days has a) the capacity b) the I/O and c) the AI to be of any practical use. Theres simply no way any agency or government can totally track individuals.

There are technologies such as echelon which are massive data processing looms that examine phone conversations, photo identity, sms/email/mail, and internet traffics however the technology is only a means for known searches to happen. Ala doing a google search. You have to know what you're looking for to actually make use of the technology. It wont pre-emptively/intuitively discover nefarious behavior, that is where good old fashioned police intuition comes into play.

And when that comes into play, it becomes a simple matter of flying lower than the radar scans. Keep your head down and dont attract attention to yourself. Ahh such a great philosophy. Helps with so many facets of life :) it just depends on how determined people are to find an individual.

    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch
