I won't be able to confirm till that week unfortunately, but I'll also bring along some meat if I can come?

Sure, if you like, but there will be good meat there: I only get the good stuff! And the cost will be minimal: we're not looking to make money, just cover costs...

If you do decide to bring your own, please let me know when you pm your details, so I know how many we are feeding...

Cheers,

Micah

It's pretty much a foregone conclusion that Coomera BP will be a meeting point: it serves the best fuel down this way, and it's on the way to the Mudgeeraba Shell. We'll start working on meet time once I've done a recce run and worked out where we're driving to.

At this stage we're looking at a relatively early meet, so we can be at Myles' place for lunch. Watch this space for meet times.

Also, I need someone to volunteer to organise the Brisbane side of things (meeting points): it's not absolutely necessary, but I'm sure you guys would prefer to convoy down here....??

Was offering in case you wouldn't have enough, but if you'll easily have enough I'll just chip in the dollars instead!

There is a 99.5% chance I'll be there.

ETA: I don't know Brisbane very well but if anyone from the Sunshine Coast is going to head down then I can meet up with you guys somewhere?

It is going to be good! Stand by for the exact route, but we are going to have a cracker of a drive on this one (no speed limit FTW!). It's got a good mix of curves and straights, and the only b-grade roads are early on, and not that bad anyway... I'll repost when I have plotted the whole lot in whereis.com.

Stay tuned! :P

we might come along to this if it's cool. I just got my Stag last week and we don't know anyone yet but it'd be good to meet a few of you :P

sweet as cant wait to meet u pm me if u need help with and stagea stuff

myles

Ok: I have plotted the course we're taking, but between my lack of computer skills, my fluid damaged laptop, and Google maps, I'm having difficulty getting it to upload properly. Stand by, and I'll get Goldzilla to sort it out ( thanks in advance, Nick! ;) )

The plan is that we meet at Coomera BP by 8am, for a 8.20am departure. That way we have time to get fuel and a feed, if needed. It's a decent length drive, but there's a couple of places we can stop for happy snaps, and to stretch our legs :banana:. I will perform another recce run closer to the actual day to make sure the roads are still good (there are a couple of patches of roadworks at the moment, but they're not too bad)...

Hi All

I think I should be coming along to this if that's okay. Stag arrives here Tuesday, so should most defiantly be a goer for this. Hopefully get to know some of you etc.

If i come, ill be heading from the redlands ..ie the southside, so perhaps i could meet up with the guys coming down from the sunny coast around the logan or mt gravvat area depending on were i get on the highway.

Cheers,

Scott

ah okay, i think i may of seen your car going around, iv seen about 3 locally.. one black, one yellow.. maybe one white.. over the past 12 months..(c34's anyway)

I live in ormiston...suburb inbetween cleveland and wello pt..know it?

    • 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.
