Coulda shoulda linked you up :D Looks pretty cool;

** and edit: just realised it's a replica, not a factory turbo SE.

Some nice track cars on here so i thought i'd post up my Rally car for anyone interested.

Built it up myself with my Dad and i run it in the Amsag rally series and Cams events. It is time for something new though so S13 Silvia is in production at the moment and hoping to have that up and running by mid next year. Looking to be able to do some track days in it as well although it wont be that well set up for tar.

good one Jason. What's in it?

I have a soft spot for the old Dattos. Had my share of 1200 coupes, sedans and a ute, 120Y coupes and a wagon with everything from A12 on twin SUs, A12 turbo, L16-18-20 and CA18DET engines. And a 4.4l V8 240K coupe.

Yeh gotta love them simple to work on and take a beating day in day out with not much complaint haha.

It has the A15 with plenty of head work big cam, bored out and running twin Dhelorto's. The rest of the work is in the suspension disc brakes all round with vented rotars etc etc its prolly taken about 3-4 years of playing around to get it up to a decent car that is supprisingly quick against all the 1600's and even some of the 4wd guys. It just lacks any straight line speed so ive decided to retire her and go with the Silvia which is going to be a whole different story but im looking forward to it.

oooh any pics or more info on the 240K?

it was a project car several years ago now, but I sold it on. Shouldn't have, it was a really clean rust free shell. Had flares, not the GTR style ones but would have been easy to change them over. It was a Leyland P76 4.4l Alloy V8, basically a bigger version of the old Rover V8. Supra 5spd. Should have kept it... I have some pics somewhere on the hard drive at home, but it wasn't much to look at really. I bought it at a time when I had about 3 projects on the go and never did anything with the car. Always regretted selling it though, and even tried to track it down to buy it back a couple of years ago...

mates parents gave him a 240K as a first car... was absolutely mint, old lady owner had done about 60,000km... he whinged about it and we used to make fun of it, sold it really cheap in the end... now they are popular again and worth a bit he is spewing he got rid of it... some flares, chin spoiler, a V8 and some old school 0 offset rims... would have been perfect!

hindsight is always 20/20

that is a good price! turbo clubman ftw!

look what Santa's bringing me. It may be a slightly late delivery, but I'll let him slide just this once:

these are unbelievably good value from the states at the moment. Will wait till I see how long they take to get here and what the service is like after handing over the money before I recommend this guy to anyone though.

I am loving the idea of a Clubman, but reading up on the whole Lotus 7 Replica cars there are a few good ones around and soooo many dodgy ones. How do you tell the difference :rofl:

I want a R300 Caterham without an engine then throw in some sweet 9,000rpm NA goodness :D But then i live in an apartment that already has a living room full of parts so think i need a house before something like that :D

Defiantly not doable in an apartment, nor is a datto :D

    • 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
