There's an idea being thrown about for a new club...not a club that's centering around looks...but more performance...having regular track days, drag contests, 0-100's...etc...

Wouldn't matter if your car's 20 years old...as long as she's got the power and you wanna use it on the track...

The only requirement is to have a rating of at least 200hp at the fly...

That's the idea...thoughts?

It's a thought at the moment...it comes from a UK club called 200plus, myself and another member who recently moved to Auz are in talks with the owner about starting the Auz part of the club, using their name, stickers, etc...

It's an excellent club in the UK and their mailing list is also top notch, lots of performance knowledge etc...

I'm just getting feedback of people's thoughts and possible interest before putting in all the hard work and finding no-one's interested...

The website seems to be down for some reason at the moment but it's :

Thanks matey...but I remember clearly a solo-model car club that was at the Oran Park day when I was there and where the picture was taken actually...they looked down their noses at everybody else there because they thought they were better than everyone else...just because they thought they were king shit, all driving what they drive...

I'm not saying a skyline club will be the same but it's just something that has stuck in my mind as it was wrong and it really got up my nose...

(I'm keeping the clubs name out to avoid a slanging match)

hmm, know what you mean. happens quiet a bit i imagine. it all goes hand in hand with pride. i mean, you have bought a car cause you like it and are proud of it. it's only a matter of time before you get this mental attitude of 'i'm better than everyone else cause i drive this car' just human nature i guess. it'd be nice if we all appreciated all makes and models but then you wouldn't have a wonderous variety of cars.

with a solo-model club, everybody WITHIN the club is close knitted. They share the same interest in cars and can exchange knowledge and expereince about their rides. Sure, you will get clubs like the porsche club who will snob excels, but that just comes with having lots of mioney or whatever... you can't say that just because you have experienced one club snobbing another club, that suddenly any similar-make or solo-model club is going to act in the same way! THAT is called generalising, and is not something that I am fond of.

You keep telling me how N/A power is so much better than forced induction... THAT is narrow minded.

Wooohhhh...chill mate...

I said "I'm not saying a skyline club will be the same"....

And it wasn't a club that was full of rich people...let's just say it was a club that is full of another certain model of jap cars that are pretty common here..

And when I say about NA power being better than Forced induction I say it to pull your leg mate...

So please take a step back and have a deep breath mate...

I'm not trying to start a fight here...

ok...in response...answer me this...what makes a solo model car club close knitted then? [/quote:385d6e7f82]

Well, in my opinion, there are already heaps of clubs around that cater for mixed models of cars...

The whole point of a "club" is getting people together with the same interest, and sharing that interest. While most of us like and appreciate cars of all types, our main "interest" is Skylines.

We still drool over S15's and we don't even pay Minh out (too much) for buying a WRX. And that's part of the reason we will be close knit club. We can see beyond our Skylines, but it's the love of that particular car that will keep us together as a club.

oh and gsi, your idea of a club centred around top speed/performance is not a bad one. Like I said, people want to join a club because of a similar passion and if that's your passion then that might be the club for you.

It's not what i'd be looking for (with my totally stock car LOL) but best of luck with it.

    • 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
