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.

    • Welcome Gabriel, and thanks for saving one of the less famous cousins!
    • Wanting to avoid this if possible but kinda looking like I may not have a choice 😭
    • Ok awesome thank you. Just wanted to have them in case I can find some and need to compare part numbers!
    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.
