true that there nice output tho mate its a very tidy car if you want a power fc talk to Unique autosports

on (02) 9620 9000 these guys are really good and can get them and its not to much of a wait i had to wait 5 weeks to honest it wasnt that bad apex japan make them to order now the price wasnt to bad either plus the car was off the road after DTS farked up everything so i didnt have a car to worry about driving at the time GL with it mate

Who got the new rims? If it's Miranda I'll have to keep an eye out next time I hear her coming up the street.

Yeah, its Miranda's S14, looks FARKING HOT with the new wheels... I hope she doesnt mind me posting pics:

unjfortunately the exhaust temp light still comes when its hot on which is annoying...need to take it back to ed and see if its something else thats faulty. makes it non fun to drive.

Does your exhaust temp light flash on and off or stay on Gus?

Yeah, it used to belong to a guy who used frequent these forums... Miranda bought it and James has fixed it up heaps and it is now actually a really good car :cool: - not slow either.

The exhaust temp sensor goes in the side of the cat... If it blinks when the engine is revving hard it can indicate that the engine is pinging, something to do with the computer getting confused and thinking that the cat is to hot.

I work down near the fyswick markets in a metal fabrication shop Its called mag welding the driveway is opposite the salvo's up in the back of the complex

Oh, say hi to Graeme from James and Miranda. He owns the maddest DR30 and FTO ever!

Ive seen the EVO, he live's behind us, it has some orsm 7 spoke Volks with the titanium Coloured lip.

Other than that, ive spotted nothing... :rofl:

comes on after a while of driving once its up temp...especially if im thrashing it. starts flashing

then once its on the car wont hold boost....really sluggish if i try put it on boost or aynthing like that. i rang ed today...he said that when he looked that the sensor it was gone (cut of or something) so i booked it in for next wensday to look at that.

could be something shorting out or what not he thinks.

eh.

mine used to do that when i was just driving along, auto sparks mate of mine said it was the sensor was dead and needed replacing, so i took the light bulb out of the dash, fixed it good

the fto (R SPEC) is a track car it is mad it is curently for sale for the right price it is also road registered not as quick as our dr30's though

Yeah, we we're thinking about buying it but ended up with the 200 instead. Wish we had (as well) cause it would be an orsm track car.

Its going to look even better soon, got vertex front bar and skirts to neaten it up a bit.

Also just put in a Haltech interceptor by ESP, had some issues with noisy VCT, so couldn't tune properly but it will be great when its done.

(its faster than my car now :) )

Spotted a Dark Red 32 P plater with kit in Mitchell, tried to give him a wave but im too

slow...

    • 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.
