What's wrong with living with my mummy and driving her car? lol

I'm only 20 and still studying, I'm not gonna fork out everything I got just to say "I've moved out of home", just to be cool like you :bunny:

Did anyone see Adam Pettett in the knox paper today? They are testing a 'Stalker' radar system on knox tmu cars. The radar is mounted on the side of the car and can report speeds of cars in front of the police vehicle. Pretty cool stuff.

i bet he creamed himself when they equipped him with that

I thought they already had that technology on police cars through the front grill?

I have a feeling Pettett is more concerned with canaries than speeding fines :bunny:

KNOX police have a new weapon to keep speeding motorists in check, but chances are you won't see them coming.

My ass! That thing sticks out like dog balls...if you can't see that on an unmarked car you deserve to get nabbed. It looks like a rocket launcher.

Terrible technology though...just another variable for error IMO...it's bad enough the stationary radars aren't calibrated very well let alone these moving ones which will have to detect their own speed as well as that of the car they are "stalking".

Don't see how it's 'new'

I got done by a moving, on coming, un marked car without a bazooka sticking out the window. It took all of about 1 second of being in sight of him for him to have my speed detected, lights on and pulling a U-turn.

Melton TMU has had them for a while (from what I heard first in VIC to get them), they have a range of 1 KM and detect speed of cars travelling away from or towards to the police car that the camera is mounted on while the police car is both stationary and moving.

lol same... was a ford territory, and he got me at 134 in a 100 zone (talked him down to 124 tho) in pitch black conditions :bunny:

they have been around for years, the first was mounted the same as that one is then they started to put them on the dash next to the drivers side A pillar, i got done by one about 3 years ago.

it would defeat the purpose of on unmarked cop car, i have good enough eyes for antennas, would make it easier with those. also, how is that thing roadworthy? civilian cars can't have objects sticking out the side of them. seems unsafe to me. darn double standards.

Don't see how it's 'new'

yeah, i seem to remember seeing one of these when it was hanging off the side of Brand New VK commodore pursuit car. I don't think the cops have driven them for a few years now.

i got done in country VIC back in 1995 or 1996 by an oncoming cop driving towards me, the radar was out the side of the car.

    • Looks like they've been through a few versions of the kit; that is not the one I had trouble with (it had the level sender attached to baffles on the floor, the one you linked the level sender is hung from the hat). One obvious point about that kit is it has no baffles at all, not even the factory setup (although it looks like you can retain the factory setup if you want).  Not sure if that will be an issue or not, the good news is it looks like you can get the pump nice and low in the tank, but that doesn't help if the fuel is all sloshing to one side of a wide flat tank
    • One more question if you don't mind. Is the first kit you tried the same one as they currently sell as their fuel-pump-hanger kit? https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/collections/fuel-system-kits/products/fpg-bnr32-fuel-pump-hanger-kit-single-fits-stagea-c34-nissan-skyline-gt-r-r32-fpg-087?variant=42131478315186 Because according to their video the low fuel warning thing can be taken from the OEM hanger and attached to their new hanger. Just wondering whether this is the kit you weren't happy with, or whether it's a different revision. Thanks again!
    • That's the thing....the basics of fuel and ignition are deceptively simple.....getting it to behave like factory in all conditions after airflow mods is way more complex. Newer cars like the V37 are all about modifying the standard ECU which is about a billion times more complex than they were 20 years ago, with a bunch of parameters affecting others
    • The larger TB I had on the SS was a pain to get to idle right, but, that was cable In the end they just raised the idle up a couple of hundred RPM so it was happy idling away either in gear or in park (slush box life) I'm curious on how my NC will idle with the new intake, larger TB, and cams that are currently going in/on, but I have faith that MX5 Mania will sort this "electronical" "black magic" out the best they can in the tune with a electronic TB Sometimes I wish I knew more about the intricacies of tuning, but most of the time I don't because I know it would hurt my brain 馃ぃ
    • That's the thing. Cam is smaller than before.. though the old cam was +6 degrees advanced. We're talking huge changes here, the narrowbands want to trim out 20% of fuel and pull the (wideband) idle to like 16.0 AFR or such. One side is a little more trimmy than the other. Think along the lines of ~20% to ~15-18%. Unfortunately my scouring of the internet hasn't really found anyone with this issue. People either just disable NB's or have them wildly different, where one is -20% and the other is +20 or 0 (i.e a sensor is just dead/wiring is just busted). Turning them off and relying on the base map only results in the wideband reporting at about 14.0 with the Varex closed. It'd be a little leaner (closer to 14.7ish) with the Varex open. I know I can just change the switch points so that the narrowbands agree with the wideband, but it's still odd. Both of them are reading voltage, it's just that they're reading quite high mv, in the ~800 region. It's just odd. This was with the IAT fudged to report it was about ~22 degrees which is my guesstimation of the temperature in the room. I have an OEM sensor ready to try tonight, which is slow and crap - but .. worked last time I used it. Sadly I am aware that idle tuning with the big TB is going to be a PITA and I look 'forward' to many hours spent stalling or stumbling idle or delving into drivability things.
