mate went through test today, cost him $750 with a fail, he talked to some guy today or yesterday in DPI about getting a permit to move his car and said he was very helpful. could have been stormtrooper?

When your mate failed, did the guys tell him what he needed to do, or give any advice on what he could do to help him next time to pass the test?

Also, did they give him an extension on his work order to complete work, or just deem the car unroadworthy till he was ready to test again?

Blinky

he actually asked the guy who done the testing and he said that the cats were no good ( brand new bullet type cats) and to put the stock ones back on and get them as close to the headers as possible to get them to heat up (so cold cats dont work properly). also get a retune on his computer as he had the same tune setup for a bigger cam. he had run outta time on his extension so he needs a permit to drive it down there every time now.

This is not surprising.

There are old 2 types of cats that pass this test. OEM and Kosteckis Cats lol

just found out that the test is done on a dyno that is sitting in a workshop (literally) with cars highly modded car getting moved around and stuff being painted near the the dyno. high chance of contamination whilst test is being done :thanks: . the dyno should be in its own room with positive air pressure from outside to stop this and give a proper reading.

& I rather buy another OEM cat than use theirs.

Also does anyone know of any modded imports passing the test there 1st time? All I have heard was some modded commodores passing & considering they are a commodore work shop I wouldn't be surprised.

I remain pessimistic on the chances of a import passing (unless its 100% stock), until I see some examples of modded imports passing, not some modded commodore.

Guys,

i think we all need to stress less about this honestly, i was on the power cruise the other week and sending out 1.5 meter flames from my 34 (i know needs a tune) and i have huge black spots on my car seriously it is that bad on a white car that you can see it from miles away and yet not been pulled over yet even with cops being behind me (too slow to get in front :yes:) it is how you drive and you wont get pinged and wont need a test seriously stressing over something that you have not had happen is silly.... honestly o no my dad broke his leg and the cast was done wrong now i dont want to break my leg and need a cast just in case... i know that is dumb and by all means flame me but so is all this talk about emmisions when there is nothing we can do..

i just read on anilag that the im240 test is now on hold for 6 months and there is aclass action suit against KEC .if you have had to do the test contact rob @ volatile customs and he can fill you in on the technicalities

As per below but they will just ask for a 4/5 gas and even then no cammed, De Cat Pipe fitted car with a rich tune will pass.

IM240 EMISSIONS TESTING

 

I am pleased to advise that the Government has announced today that there is to be a moratorium of up to 6 months on IM240 vehicle emissions testing so that greater engagement with industry can be undertaken and to improve accessibility to emissions testing.  A broad industry based committee is to be established to deal with the issues that have been raised with the MTA in relation to the existing testing regime.  It is anticipated the first meeting of the committee will be held within a fortnight.

 

It can be taken as read that the previous emissions testing arrangements will continue for the next 6 months until new procedures have been approved.

 

I thank all industry members for their valuable input into this process and recognise the fact that the Government has responded to industry concerns in this way.

 

 

Yours sincerely

YAY!!! :whistling:

So whats gonna happen to the people currently with a yellow telling them to do a IM240 test, can they get that crossed out? I hope the people who had already done that test get some kind of compensation for the wasted $$$ (especially if you failed) & time...

+1 dont drive like a dick, you'll be fine. of course when driving normally, dont act too sus.

now that the emisions test is on hold, we can at least relax for now. hopefully the improved emissions test will be better than when they 1st started.

Yeh yu still need to meet the ADR so that might mean as little as 50- 100 ppm HC cams and injectors aint goin to pass.

Well actually when i got yellow stickered i wasn't doing anything wrong, the cop followed me all the way from Midland to Glen Forrest, i was watching him the whole way. He would change lanes whenever i did just to stay behind me. Then he pulled me over, bam, yellow sticker.

Awesome news about the test, hopefully they can work something out that is fair this time

At least the next roll out of the IM240 testing will be fairer, hopefully KEC doesn't still hold the monopoly on it and I hope the class action goes through.

Also, if anyone has any legit tips and info on what mods to do to make a modified exhaust legal, I would be happy to hear them. I want to start doing upgrades before the next roll out so when it comes, I am ready.

That is if I am off the hook for this one!!

    • 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.
