When i was seventeen i had an old beat LH torana and i was driving back from trade school and was fiddeling with the stereo instead of looking where i was going and i rear ended a....you guessed it a skyline. I smashed it good, i did about 7 grand worth of damage and i had no insurance :P

Of course the insurance company came after me for the money, i told em i had none, which i didnt and agreed to pay the $50 a month hehe. After about 6 months i moved house and never heard from them again. That was about 8 years or so ago.

no offence or anything

its people like you that shouldn't be on the road :shake:

people have to dig money out of there own pocket to fix damage they didn't cause

that really sh!ts me

Left the pub....(memory block)....Car was half on, half off a square kurb, f#cked bumper, f#cked intercooler, 3 f#cked rims, f#cked struts.

Another time I was drivin around a mates fire break on his block in a 120Y, a few years before I had my licence. Lost control and went through his neibours fence into a tree. Was quite funny. Copped a shit load of abuse off the neibours. Could hardly keep a straight face.

Was in another accident too, mate was drivin his old man's VT on the freeway. We reached 200 kmh when the back tyres lost traction round a slight bend. Car spun 180 and started slidin backwards for what felt like a f#ckin life time! Hit the centre barrier, spun and hit the side barrier and smashed into the centre once more before we finaly came to a hault. No one was hurt. Still freaks me out thinkin about it.

Hmmm , where do I start.

Targa 2001 Ridgeway park, L5 tightens , slippery.

Yep it did and it was.

Wrote the R off and mowed down 3 of Tassies finest ( trees that is )

Wirrina Rallysprint in S Australia on the Flereau penninsula in a series 1 RX7 rally car.

Down the hill , clipped the gate post and barrell rolled up to 15ft in the air according to the spectators.

Landed on the football oval and almost scored a goal!

Cheers

Never had automotive accident... and I would like to keep it that way *touch wood* :D;)

cheers

Well i did try Joe on a couple of occasions just so you could say you've been in one :)

My sister parked our little Suzi baleno in a parking bay onlty to come out and see it pushed about 15-20m into a music shop in canning vale. It still had the H/brake on!! Bloody Holden Calias!

Apparently the driver got scared and clamped the acc instead of the Brk.?!?!? WTF IT was auto and only had 2 f#$ing pedals and she couldnt even figure that out!!! Whole car wrecked. Shop odd $30000 damage near $7000 just for the sound proof glass

driving my peice of turtle shit excel coming up to a T intersection cat ran out and swerved to miss ended up jumping and huge box curb and taking out a cyclone fence and ripping all my front suspension and everthing that goes with it and putting it about 3 inches out to the side of the car.. about five grand and 4 months later i got it back.. got it back wacked a custom turbo on it ran a 15.1 on street tyres then the engine poo'd it self then sold it.. hey who cares it was a excel right...

Um no, the persons insurance company paid for the damage i caused. It dont affect the person i hit at all.

Spoken like someone who has never tried to insure a car....nor had to pay premiums once they had made a claim.

May your most prized worldly possession also be forsaken at the hands of karma.

    • 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.
