I don't get it. So the engine is the same as pre 2004 nm35s but it doesn't pass?

Can't they chuck in another huge cat in the exhaust to fix it?

It'd be a bit more complicated than that. Taking a guess, when a RAWS did the evidence report into the NM35, they have to do the crash testing/emissions testing. Maybe the NM35 doesn't pass whatever emissions regs were introduced in 2004. Thus no cars are allowed to be complied in that year.

Just a punt.

you're on the money

Northshore is the one to call... although they have also offered to do compliance for J-Spec and possibly Prestige.

Thats correct, at the time I was importing my Pm35, Northshore was only going to comply 4 PM35's/year, for J-specs customers, myself being the 1st! (Thanks to Ben @ Northshore and Ben @ J-Spec for all their help). J-spec has been trying to get Northshore to comply cars for him for some time, and Northshore, understandably wants to protect his investment by limiting the number of plates he fits to cars which arent imported by him. Who knows what will happen in the future!

Maybe we'll see a PM35 at a cruise sometime soon then? :whistling:

What's the go with immobilizers on the NM35's? My insurance company stated to me that it must be fitted with an Australian standard immobilizer. My AR-X comes with an alarm, I assume it also has an immobilizer. Did most of you still install a separate immobilizer? I wouldn't be all that chuffed if my car was stolen only for insurance to claim I didn't have an "Australian standard Immobilizer.."

Any suggestions on the cheapest and most suitable turbo timer? are they absolutely necessary for this car?

Mine didn't come with an Immobiliser. I had a Cyclops one fitted...

Viper's aren't Australian Standards as far as I know. Go Auto Watch, Mongoose or Cyclops, and get it installed by someone who knows what they're doing.

You can also 'upgrade' the alarm to Australian standards if you want, might be the best option. I removed the factory alarm because it was playing up.

I'm pretty sure they are now....Viper I meant.

Turbo timers are a wank for modern cars with water cooled turbine housings.

I fitted a Viper and removed the factory gear.

I like turbo timers on modern cars (with water cooled turbo's) so when you track them, you can let it slowly cool down which allows the whole thing to cool down uniformly! :devil:

I think Viper have a unit which is, but the higher end stuff with the paging remotes, remote start, turbo timer, etc isn't.

AFAIK there's no Australian standard alarm with remote start and turbo timer.

Well i'm not tracking this, so i'll forgo the turbo timer which is fine by me. I'm nearly ready to buy a dump Scotty. Going to take it to a local exhaust shop for fitting, They charge $55 an hour, so i'm probably looking at about $200 yeh? 3-4 hours work?

I might call up my insurer for a list of Australian Standard immobilisers.

I don't have one in the stag, as I do the same thing. usually the 1-2 minute cool down drive is enough.

I use a turbo timer in the 1600. It's got a volt meter built in and can display speed in digital (handy for when the speedo tops out at 200km/h)! It also helps to reduce oil temp (even after the 1-2 minute cool down lap).

Most race guys usually let their car idle for a good 1-2 minutes even after they stop just to stabilize temperatures. $hit gets pretty hot, and 1-2 minutes warm down lap sometimes doesn't cut it.

I'm not really worried about the water cooled turbo. I'm more concerned about the aftermarket stainless dump pipe and exhaust system I have fitted, and other associated engine components requiring slow temperature differential.

Anyway, you guys do what you want on your cars, and I'll play on the safe side.

    • 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.
