Ok. My hole was cut with a hole saw and was done by a proper mechanic (Benny from BMT) I would need to get a certificate from him in order to pass a defect per say?

It looks factory... do you reckon I'd get off otherwise?

post-25470-1163129107.jpgthis is the bracket he made up. its not even welded in just three bolts. but oh well ive got the paper work at least. cant be harrased about it ever again.

that's not so neat :yes: and now it's safe? bah!

cheers to you mr crust for making an effort which i might just rely on some time :P

I would be intrested to talk to someone who knows the ADR's properly and can give me a definate answer

like most laws they are always vague and open up to difference of interpretation

cop pettet says this/engineer bob says that

which is right?

most ppl with a brain would know that a guard liner would indeed know that it is in no way a structial peice of the car ...

most of the front end isnt even structial, most of it unbolts and u could go until u you a motor and chasis rails, good stuff :huh:

well most people seem to worry that cutting a whole in the skirt effects the airbags, but the engineers who so called make this mod legal, only put on a dodgy looking patch and it passes and no one questions its effect on the airbag, true?

looking at that patch, can anyone give a true reason how that makes

the car any safer ?

Personally looking at the top bracket its pretty dodgy looking and in no way does it strengthen the body, as a car is only as stong as its weakest point, now if the rest of the skirt is 1mm thin and the patch is lets say 3mm in the case of an accident the skirt will still get damaged and that bracket will sit in place and have no effect.

unless benny is certified to clear defects, even the most perfect job he does will be defected.

i would retract that statement is he certified? if so ahahahahaha

anyway only engineers can pass this

If i ever get around too it, i'll take a pic of the hole that has been cut in my gaurd for CAI.

Its been re-inforced with solid steel all around the edge of the cut so it will pass an Engineers once im completed with the conversion.

You'll see a proper job isnt exactly easy :wave:

You know what the funny thing is though. On the top of the engineers cert is says it is valid for 30 days. Does this mean a cop can f**k you over again 30 days after you got it done?

Note my reply here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...p;#entry2798167

What is interesting is what the "Act" states exactly as the VSI's are specific on requiring a certificate for any panel cutting forward of the firewall.

Anyone know the rules on number plates. I have them mounted slightly on the side of the car and got fined and lost 3 point because of it. Any links? Lol i might not have a licence because I have my number plates mounted to the side :P Fkn BS

Drivers of a lot of cars like cheater EVO's and Alfa's would be in a lot of trouble, I'd question it.

hey all!

im looking for the document that tells u wat is legal and wat is not to modify in your car (in NSW). ....where can i find it? or what is it calld (so that i can find it..)

cheers

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • 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
