Well I killed another engine, but still finished 5th (was 2nd at the time)

here are some stages

Paloona 2nd fastest EM car

Plimsoll fastest EM car

I'll have to pull it down, but i'm guessing the valvle didn't close properly for what ever reason, and it gas axed the side out of it. We checked plugs, injectors, and ignitor on the side of the road.

We rounded that GT2 up 2 stages in a row!! There will be more stages uploaded soon.

I wondered what happened! I saw you were 3rd going into the last day and then finished 5th. Time for a 2jz?

It was 2nd, and no shitty Toyota engine is going in my car. I've done a different thing each time from the bottom up, so now i'm at the top, the next engine will be fine.

Rinadeena looks like an amazing stage...absolutely hammering! Suspension looks planted. OK, time to start flogging your spec Penskes to the rest of us :)

I did almost poo my pants at 10:25 when the car jumped sideways. If you want some I can put you onto my tuner, he organised all the valving. still learning a lot about setting them up, but being able to adjust hi and low speeds separatly makes a big diference in changing conditions. Any good shock can have my valving applied Penske/ohlins (sweedsh)/mca/proflex.... But it's probably cheaper to get the Penske's out of the states, and revalve them here

the bloke that done the specks on the shocks is about to do the same thing to a old set of jap ohlins that i got ahold of. they only have one twiddle valve but he said he will get them close enough.

this year ben adjusted the shocks at least every other stage and the car got faster by the end of each day and once it rained he new what way to go with them. it would take a few club days to dial these in perfect so its not a set and forget part. just for anyone elce thinking they mite like to spend the money. beauty of a bilstein is you cant adjust it. haha.

Starting to sound like a 300zx, 5 days... Engine out Lol! I won't touch it next year, promise!

PS where is the adjustment on the Penske's??? The KW we ran were easy to adjust on the front, but UBER gay on the rear.. especially on the side of the road between stages

c'mon a 300zx need a engine out every stage.

The penske's are upside down (shaft at the bottom), and the remote canisters are under the boot and bonnet (high and low speed bump), so the bump is super easy. Rebound is on the bottom of the shock, and required laying on the ground. But I didn't change the rebound very often.

haha well you were damn luck it was running at all.

I'd be pulling, checking and cleaning the head. When I snapped a cam it f**ked the tunnel as well and it needed to be machined straight again. Also, you will have aluminium everywhere including the sump.

    • 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
