no, actually i'm not.

you are saying to me that you have been working your arse off to find solutions - that is what we need (in other words, i applaud you and your work)

what we didn't need are politicians who have taken this long to listen to people like yourself and implement those solutions. (i.e. the 'Cabinet', who as you put it, are not on your side)

Yeah I agree cabinet have a fair bit to answer for

All I hear is winge winge winge, ITS A DROUGHT not some scheme by the Gov to pull us in line, people are going out of business, football feilds are dying and all you care about is washing you car?? Your not worried about flushing the toilet or wearing clean clothes, JUST OMG MY CAR IS DIRTY.

i used to wash my car religiously

i have since stopped and i miss it

but im sure not going to waste our precious resource regardless of whos fault it is that we are in this mess

i just hope that we get decent rain soon

I'm all for saving water and have now completely stayed away from washing my car at home which was one of religious activities every weekend..but how can they justify the following??

"Water price rises ranging from 13 to 22 per cent will push costs up an average $71 a year.

Queensland Water Commissioner Elizabeth Nosworthy said that by 2012-13 a typical household's annual water cost would increase from $355 to $876 - an increase of 147 per cent.

Ms Nosworthy said the price rise was justified because the $8 billion investment in new infrastructure would provide better services and secure water for the long term"

If water was sold at market value like every thing else no one would be able to afford it

There is two ways of controlling usage for scarce resources regulation or market

Market is offering incentives to use less like rebates on tanks ect and raising the price

Regulation is compliance action over excessive users

Sadly the easy option has been taken

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • 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.
