Many of my relatives have served this country in both World Wars, a few of whom paid the ultimate sacrifice and were burried where they fell in battle. Anzac day has always been a special day for me to reflect on their commitment and bravery. This year Stacey and I will be travelling down to attend the dawn service at the war memorial in Canberra. Would like to see if anyone would be keen to attend and have a few beers/breakfast afterwards. Any takers?

Fo shizzle yo, ill be at the service and im keen to reinact my Sydney ANZAC day from 2005 (Sydney goes off on ANZAC day). though I dont thinkn ill drink for 24 hours straight this time.

Im all for drinking and running amok but i get really shitty at the people who see this day as a piss up and gamble affair without at least attending one of the services during the day.

where we gonna meet up??

You know that I will be there with the missus Paul, Jayce and Erica will come too Im sure... Dont ask me to go to the dawn service though... Even though I am forever greatful for the life that all Aussie's live thanks to our diggers sacrifices, I am NOT a morning person and you dont want to know me that early in the morning. :D

There is a great spot in Kingston where you can get excellent coffee and breakfast its called Green Square, we should meet there.

Either am i...i just dont go to bed...you have seen that all before :banana:

You went to bed at Final Battle didnt you? Even if it was at 6:00am :(

:blink: You have a missus called Paul?

Thats a bit like "I helped my Uncle Jack off a horse" its all about the grammar LOL

LOL, youre right I have a missus called Paul, (thats my pet name for her) guess who plays the male role in the relationship :(

I'm a dawn service guy through and through; of course me & E are there! For those that haven't done a dawn service, do yourself a favour. We all take this country for granted a little too much, and my family has fought for it in wars past. So, suck it up for one day in the year (Mick may be excuses...he REALLY isn't a morning person and SHOULD attend the 10 a.m. service instead); see you there. Or not, as it will be DARK.

I say we gather afterwards at Green Square, Kingston, for some brekky...

good to hear there wil lbe some people attending,

i had always attended the dawn service back home in geelong at point danger down in torquay (bells beach for the surfers out there). they are a truelly moving experience, every year theres a poam that just rips me to shreads with the last few words. but this year will be different. it will be my first ANZAC day 4am wake up, away from geelong, and this time i have the honour of saying i am a fresh face to the family of those air force members before me and remember them in solace, then party hard for the australia that they help shape. lest we forget

my two cents

yeah but then you'll all step aside and pretend you don't know me and leave me all alone being a blubbering mess LOL

Where are we meeting for the dawn service? Brekky at Green Square is a great idea, we used to have a Managers meeting there every week @ 7am and the brekkies & coffee were terrific.

We lost our Uncle in Beersheba (1st Light Horseman) and Dad served in WW2 - I'd love to go, but know I will bawl my eyes out. I get teary just thinking about it... I'm almost a bigger girl than Mick.

You may be taking things a bit far here Michele, theres no way possible that could ever happen.

Kingston sounds good. Dont forget there are plenty of buses starting early to take you to the service if you are planning to drink afterwards. We dont want to add to the Skyline driver fatality statistics now do we.

    • 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.
