Depends on how easily you want to access it doesnt it?

If you REGULARLY track the car, then the passengers side of the tranny tunnel works.

Or make up a bracket that bolts to the same location of the front 2 bolts for your drivers seat. That way you can reach it without undoing your seat belt... IF the worst happens hehe.

I have been contemplating the same thing. I think im going to mount mine behind the kick panel in the boot. (R33)

only prob with the mounting near the seat is if you wanna roll it forward it gets in the way :P would be perfect tho...

might be a dumb question but it wouldnt be a good idea to mount it near a sub would it...otherwise i have the perfect spot :P

This is true, but i never adjust my seat anyway. Its at the furthermost bask position haha. The short f**kers can piss off :P

I dont see any reason why you couldnt mount it on near the sub? But if you are worried it could be an idea to call the extinguisher company just to be safe.

Mine is mounted behind the drivers seat on the little panel underneath the rear seat where the bolt goes into. Nice neat spot that doesn't get in the way and fairly easy to reach.

did you make up a bracket for it or does it just use the one seat bolt?

If you searched, you would see my thread I started...

I could still reach it while in my bucket seat. It had been passed by scruitineering in alot of events I did, cause one of the requirements is it needs to be within reach of the driver while still being in the seat. This is for doing track days though

:D

Mine?

Want to buy it? :P LOL

Cheers Josh, Its a good spot, even though I didnt have the back seat in, others have and it still worked a treat :laugh:

but just remember, if you do plan on doing track days, ya gotta be able to reach it from drivers seat! Oh, and they normally expire after a year too!

yeah, ended up mounting it behind the drivers seat, can easily reach around and unclip and grab it :(

i wanna buy your side skirts more than anything ;) craving em so bad

good thing its got a charge meter then ey.

I just moved my extinguisher to a different position. I'm just after comments to see if it is a good place for it or not.

img2240.th.jpg

I used to have it behind the passenger seat, but when I got my Sparco Sprint V and harness, I found that I could no longer reach it without undoing my harness (I'm under the impression that CAMS like you to be able to grab your extinguisher without undoing your seatbelt/harness, if this isn't true I might just move it back :D )

The extinguisher is held onto a 3mm aluminium plate by a M6 screw into a tapped hole with a nut on the other side and a high tensile M8 bolt going through the aluminium into the side mounting point of the seat. The aluminium plate is held on with two M8 high tensile bolts, one of which holds the extinguisher bracket onto the aluminium plate. In short, I think it will take some force to get it to move :D

Here I can grab the extinguisher without undoing my harness, providing the door is open. I can still access the boot/fuel cap release, again only with the door open lol

So yeah... flame away ;)

    • 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.
