spotted silver 32, white 33 and red corvette at the Mobil servo in braddon

spotted Cejay cleaning his 'was-once-a-WRX-but-isnt-anymore' at the belconnen car wash and had a quick chat

and spotted me finding out why the heat shield around the turbo is named a heat shield... also i snapped a bolt on it when i was trying to remove it... good times

7:40pm tonight, cnr Drakeford and Erindale Dr. Turning right from Tuggers onto Drakeford, I watched a white 33 with a white 'For Sale' sign and mobile number on rear windscreen give it a gutful and get a bit crossed up... if I were using bike terms I would have called it a 'tank slapper'.

I caught up side by side to give a thumbs up :D but you didn't look up :) I should have called the mobile hehe

Yeah was good to catch up, and your car really wasn't as dirty as you thought it was :thumbsup:

haha yea i'm pretty anal about the dirt, washed it again today :thumbsup:

Dropped my car off in fyshwick to have exhaust finished off and wandered around fyshwick for an hour, spotted a white 32 (driven by a guy with mad sideburns/mutton chops), white 33 with DTS Dyno stickers on it, the J-Racing 34 and a black 33 near shell servo all between 1pm and 2:30. Also i'd recommend Carline Exhausts in Fyshwick for anyone that needs exhaust fitting, was a bit iffy when i saw their shop (looks like something from the 70s haha) but the work was very good, very fast, very cheap AND they got that bastard of an exhaust sensor off!

hahah! those would have been my mad sideburns. was driving around fyshwick collecting various bits n pieces to clean up the car a bit.

Just because you have epic sideburns doesnt mean your too good to wave back to us normal people :thumbsup:

    • 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.
