Hey guys, if you want to see a few Stagea's cruising around the hills of Perth, make sure that you go and see Targa West this year.

6 Stagea's in all are running as course cars.... mine included.

See the post at http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=178869 and visit www.targawest.com.au

The opening day of competition at the 2007 QUIT Targa West tarmac rally will be run in memory of the

great Australian motor racing legend Peter Brock.

Peter’s brother Lewis Brock, his partner Julie Bamford and his co-driver from last year,

Mick Hone will all be present for the start of the rally.

The three will be visiting the Thursday prologue and the Friday morning rally start in Forrest Place in the

heart of Perth, where they will have a chance to catch up with friends from the world of motor sport

including Bathurst legends Jim Richards and Tony Longhurst, both of whom are competing in this years

rally.

Gonna be good weekend!

No sh*t??! Awesome! Wish I could be there to see that!

That's awesome, John!

Make sure you snap off plenty of shots with all of the cars together, as well as the odd competitor car if you can.

Hmmm, Biante models is a sponsor, hey? Man, I wish I could get a few 1/18 scale model Stageas to add to my car collection.

So It's all on this weekend.... only 5 Stagea's as Course cars, 3 S1's (2 Dark Green and 1 Silver) and 2 S2's (1 silver and my bluey).

Here are the easiest places to see all the cars together.

Tomorrow afternoon at Motorplex from 2:30pm - 4:30pm.

Forrest place on Friday morning from 7:30am , for the big send off, followed by Friday Morning at AHG (Perth Airport), at 9:15am. Keep an ear out for them en-route!!

Friday night at Northbridge (James St) is one of the easiest place to see all the cars together. There are 87 race cars. Come along and even get an autograph or 2.

I'll put up some photos after the event.

For people from east it should get eome air time, but don't know what time or channels.

Check out the website as there are some great spots for viewing, and to have a bit of a drive, like Bindoon, Muchea, and Toodyay. Oh and the Zig-Zag (uphill) on Friday.

Well that was some weekend! I managed a few nice fast legs, but some very slow ones with lots of stopping and things to do! Never mind that was my job, checking the course for the rally cars. AHG driving course was so well set up though, that we only moved one sign, then the 2nd lap was pretty fast.

Also one of the other drivers was so impressed with the Stagea that he now wants one... who can blame him?

I ended up doing about 1200kms over the 4 days, and had an absolute ball.

Here are the 000A, 000B and me (Advance 2) at Bindoon service stop. We were well before the rally cars, hence none there. I didn't get to see much actual rally action until we had finished our duties on Sunday.

Winner was Jim Richards, 2nd Tony Longhurst, 3rd Ross Dunkerton.

Roll on QTW 08.

Rally photo's should be up on the Quit Targa West site soon.

did anyone get to see the new Toyota Klugers they used as fast sweepers? Man, I was on the 3rd last stage and I laughed my head off as they went past. Both were blowing oil smoke, front wheels black with brake dust and I am 99% sure the champagne coloured one had 2 if not 3 knackered CV joints.

SUV FTMFL!!! ;)

    • 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
