I'm spending a week near bicheno on the coast in feb and seriously thinking about

driving down from sydney, getting the ferry and driving there. (and back). So i was

wondering if there are any deserted drivers roads - of the kind top gear like to find

in wales or scotland, or if it is going to be a 100kmh snoozefest in traffic the whole way.

Top gear AUS have used tassy roads quite a bit for filming. nearly any direction you go you will find a lot of corners.

my mum is over from SA and she commented about how much fun it is to have more than 1 corner within 100km.

It's even worse here in WA, I'm keen to move back home and get my Skyline over there to some corners and i think i might have to get another road bike too hehe.

And while I'm here, What are the cops like for giving out yellow stickers or defects over there?

Because they just love giving them out over here, But all the time while i was growing up in Tassie i don't think i ever heard of anyone getting a defect unless the car was pretty well stuffed.

So do you guys get much trouble for Front mounts and the like?

Sorry for hijacking your thread dude :)

np, I'm interested in the answer to that as well..

not realy.

plenty os skylines running around with exernal gates. pods. Bov's. ect ect. low. bald tyres.

basicly if you atract their attention by speed or noise than they will book you but rearly defect cars.

my mate has been driving a r33 around for 6 months with sponsor stickers all over it and has only recently been pulled over and given a warning for it.

you would be un lucky to get caught basicly.

If it were me I would go this way Map

It takes in the sideling and a few other targa roads, and you get to drive down the coast a bit, which is good too :banana: Mind you, you cant go too wrong if youre after windy roads

i think you linked my original one again? .. but I'd be very interested to see yours.

How does this route look? I tried to aim for the most interesting wiggles.

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source....191772&z=9

Most of this route is pretty good, but alot of the road from bakers beach to york town is a gravel forrestry road with alot of log trucks using it. Stay on the frankford road to beaconsfield. On your way back for a truly awesome drive go from bicheno up the coast to St Helens than take the Tasman Highway to Scottsdale. I did coming back from a trip on boxing day the road is awesome. :domokun:

Oops :domokun: try this one map or this image...

map1.jpg

Edit: Ok I suck - just look at the picture!

that looks good! thanks, I'll try that on the way down..

if my choice turned into a dirt logging track i woulda cried.

I'm not good at this whole map thing but i think that it would be just as nice to go to strahn for a driving trip. from devonport to shefield then down toward cradle mountain then after rosebury turn right to a wicked driving road that goes to a massive water resivor and then down the coast to strahn. Stay the night in a cabin and then go back up a different way or go down to hobart from strahn. Those 398kms are some very nice roads with some nice twists. then if you feel upto it go up the east coast back to devonport basically the same way you showed on your map. It should take about 3 days of good driving to do that but would be much fun... feel free to pm me if you have any queries i have driven most roads along the east and west. I havent been down south of hobart much though but i am sure that through the huon there are also nice roads..

    • 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.
    • 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
