After a thread in the Vic section I'm actually curious to know about your first cars. Were they turbo or non-turbo? Simple thread, please vote and feel free to tell me what it was! :D

Mine was a 1979 VB Commodore - Was a nice mint car too. Sold for 4k-5k with no rego or RWC!

2 - 1996 R33 S2 GTSt

3 - 1999 R34 GT-T

4 - 1979 Datsun 240K (current)

4 - 2010 Audi A4 (current)

Kids these days.... !!!

Erm... if you defined a 27 yr old electrical engineer as a kid then yes I am a kid.

I've been saving up after graduating in 2007 and taking public transport all this while to buy the car. Having said that I drive my dad's corolla and civic in Singapore before I came here to finish my uni. So technically the 33gtr is still my first car I bought using my own money.

My 1st car is my current car. Slug box R33, bought it 2 weeks after I got my Ps.

B4 that, the 1st car I have driven was my mum's old 91 VN commodore then a 02 Camry, that I used for my hours on Phase 2 L.

My first car was a 1984 toyota camry

Second car was a 1995 Mazda 626

Third car was a RX7 Series 4 13BT

Fourth car/current car is a 250rwkw 1993 r33 gtst

all cars owned have been manual

91' mistu lancer, 5spd fwd FTL had it for a few weeks was a perfect daily but I wanted....

92' Nissan Silvia (SR20DE) 5 spd and loved it to bits great little thrasher kept in pristine condition and had a genuine nissan aero kit aswell, ah the memories

1st car: Turbo Nissan Exa (on L's)

2nd car: KE70 corolla (RWD... Loved it!)

3rd car: Series 2 RX-7 with EFI 12A Turbo built by Dyson Rotary

4th car: R32 GTST Skyline (Current)

Sometimes wish Id kept the rotor!

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • 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.
