ok, so whats the go for this evening? i suggest meet up at the museum between 6pm and 6.30pm, then head into braddon at 6.30pm SHARP to be sure we get good group parking, but whether it'll work that way or not could be another story....

sound like a plan? any suggestions for parking?

Works for me Luke

Parking...... yeah. Um..... yeah.

I spose 6:30 is early enough to get some good spots in Lonsdale street somewhere, but if the police start going over everything with a fine tooth comb like last night?

i reckon your car will slip under the radar tonight. there will be much more 'defectable' looking cars than yours getting around. besides, your car isn't actually 'defectable', as in your tyres aren't bald or car sits too low etc.... just flash your engineer's certificate and i'll reckon you'll be fine.

also just posted this up in the NSW section, so we might get some interstater's there tonight....

I'm not particularly worried about my car especially, just last night they basically went through everything. Mine was parked out in the open with Leigh & Steve's and we got in and out fine. I just don't want anyone's night to end on a downer :)

We're a well behaved bunch, we should be fine.

but if the police start going over everything with a fine tooth comb like last night?

You are pretty much GAURENTEED they will be doing the same thing tonight best idea is to meet at museum then just cruze and park somewhere a little less crazy and obsever the action.. I went and got new rear tyres this morning cuz i was worried :P

p.s. did anyone see the drags in hume and on monaro hwy last nite.. :P NUTS

p.s. did anyone see the drags in hume and on monaro hwy last nite.. :P NUTS

Are they still doing that? I rememeber seeing that about 8 years ago but thought it would have surely ended now.

Maybe parking where Mark, leigh and I did last night would be a good spot. It was the street between northbourne and bradden main street?

was behind widebody heading towards exhibition park this morn, man that thing suprises me everytime i see it, its huuuuge!!

Summernats was ok today, abit boring, dont know how people spend all day there, i get bored after a few hours. ill be working there tomorrow and sunday aswell so if you see me say hello, itll get you a free beverage :dry:

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • 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.
