Aussie made cars and V8's only - dont get me wrong I think this gr8 and quite spectacular to watch, I'm a big fan of the V8 Supercars.

Initially I beleive it changed to this because the Aussie made cars couldn't get a look in, and it has grown into THE premier event.

What can we do to get the HPI's into the same level in Australia ? Sure we have heaps of little events but they hardly get mentioned on the same scale.

Nothing can be done

v8 supercars sucks all the money out of the sport

No one in the field deserved the win more than lowndsey, he was the closest to Brock out of everyone.

what about the 300C??? everytime I turned around to see what was going on he was leading... he definitely deserved to win!

yeah, i was cheering that courtney beat ingall to the line for a much deserved 3rd place for seto + JC. lowndes is a champ and it's surprising that it's only his 2nd bathurst win. I was sorry to see skaife out early though. I love to watch him drive, and would have been happy if he had won too.

I pose this question to you all. As the Clerk of the course elected to continue the race under a green flag when Jason Richards stuck it into the wall at Mcphillamy when a previous full course yellow was used for another crash incident at exactly the same place, had Kelly been able to jump Lowndes and take the win, would we have seen all sorts of legal challenges because a precedent had already been set? Lowndes was leading by a substantial margin at that time and was reined in under the yellows.

There ya go troopers, debate that one! I know that if it had been me I would be looking for someones head.

yes very interesting decision especially in light of the proven dangers of the track that weekend. Safety should always come first...but did this become a commercial decision instead? was there presure from avesco?

Definitely a commercial decision. Teams didn't spend millions, fans didn't travel 1000's of km's and drivers didn't race 158 laps only to finish doing 60km/h behind the ugliest sounding car the planet has ever produced.

I'll have the entire Top10 + Race + presentation on 4 dvd's by tomorrow arvo :)

...but did this become a commercial decision instead? was there presure from avesco?

Hmmmmmmmm....very interesting isn't it! I would hate to think what might have happened if someone had t-boned JR's commode and more tragedy occurred! A very strange decision given that they yellow flagged the race when JR's car had gone straight ahead at the Chase and was not in the slightest bit of danger! Hmmmmm......conspiracy theories abound!

Tim Jenkins the race director makes this call and saves the race finishing under yellow-all drivers were told JR was there by crew chiefs on the radio and a local yellow was in place-with only a couple laps tp go it was decided that this would be ok - if it was more laps it would have been a full yellow with more SC laps

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
