OK folks, slang terms for genitalia of any genter are out!

getting back to the subject, bloody defects for bloody shit.

MADGT4, I would definately be checking to see if coppers get their ears calibrated before they go on patrol, just to make certain they can tell the differnence between a car at 89dB and 90dB. Without testing, how in gods name can they fine you for it. Be a bit like saying " I knew you were speeding, cos you have done it before, so have a fine" Man its just bull shit.

HAHA yeah have u been......

Yeah good point tho steve but its been decided that i'm sellin up already and i only owned it for about 5-6months so anyone wanna buy contact me.......

But don't panic ppl still gonna own a nissan and still gonna be turbo, but this thing will be alot less "come defect me" as far as this town goes and i won't be mixed up with me mates 33 that get around doin stupid shit (prob his fault cos his drifts all ova the place)

You talkin to me man or wot? About gettin the defect off?

And plus i'm gonna probably get what i was originally gonna get which is a GTi-R and the cops down here will just think its a hatch back with a zorst so i won't get any trouble.......

I know it sucks but this is like the second time i been done in like 3 months and i was also just told if it happens again then its a (spelling) Statutory Write Off or some shit and i dunno if its true or not so i don't wanna b stuck with no car and shit if u know wot i mean

My mate jase sold his 180 cos he was forever being defected only to buy a relatively crap 280z and got defected again within f**k all time of owning it.

Statutory write off? Err wtf? how can they do that when you're car is deemed road werthy when it goes through Reemgency?

Sorry MADGT4, i was talkin to Hippy before, but what i was gonna say to him may help u.

When my car got defected, i found a place that "hires" out parts for a few days. I hired a stock BOV airfilter exhaust wheels for 150 and went to regency. No more defect.

Best 150 ive ever spent hehe. **** those regency wankers and the dickheads that issue defects.

Ok but at the end of the day, we get defected, they're doing their job.. and as are the guys at regency. We all have 2 make livings, some worse then others, and a cop does what he or she does, or they get the sack basically, like all of us at work.

and yea we all know there's good cops and bad cops, but there's nothing we can do about it, havin wankers is part of life.

Even thou it's against what we think, as a group we should accept that this is gonna keep happening, because we dont make the rules that say what we are and aren't allowed to do.

We take the risk when we modify our cars, but bitch about it when we get done? Whats the go there?? We modify our cars, knowing that the more work we do to our rides, the bigger targets we become, yet we keep modifying them, keep getting defected, and keep complaining? go figure

Im not havin a go at anyone for what they think about regency, or cops, cos i think the same as everyone else here.

I know that when i go out i'm more likely to be targetted for having the car i have and doing the things i do then most of the other drivers on the road, but, thats hte choice I made, when i bought my car, and did the mods i have done, so I have 2 live with it.

As much as we hate being defected (and no offence to MADGT4 what so ever here mate) I think we need to realise that it's not gonna end, and we have 2 stop bitchn about it.

well sometimes i hate reading things like "not cops are all bad" and the ... "well thats a good cop story" ... when u haven't done anything wrong and they stopped u ... i mean if they were a good cop who geniunely was interested in doing good cop stuff ... good cops will know the laws they are enforcing ... not bring up some bs about ... i think its too loud so i will defect u .. or ... just a routine check to check that your car is safe ... i mean we have lives too and time costs money for some people ... why should we waste our time on that crap ... if u were doing something wrong like road racing then sure stop the driver and get them for whatever... but not an innocent car enthusiast like madgt4 ... seems like nice guy ;) *wink* *wink* :D

    • 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.
