lol

i have noooooooooooooooo idea..... I need driving lessons! lol REECE!

jumped in for what was i think my second ever passenger run. Liz says to Dunc im scared.....for this guy (pointing at me). I wasnt phased, then liz proceeds to go mowing :D she doesnt want to admit she was trying to impress me.

To the organisers and members of the SAU

On behalf of the Camaro-Firebird club members who attended your Skyline Texi Skids at Quakers Hill today, I would like to sincerely thank you for the invitation to a brilliant day. You co-ordinated and managed a fantastic day, and even though we experienced almost all four seasons in one day, everyone was still able to get out on the track.

We may have produced slow times with a lot of tyre smoke but we had a lot of fun too. We were all impressed to see the way it’s supposed to be done and how well your members can control a car.

This will be a day that we will be all talking about for a long time.

Thank you again.

Regards

Craig Goodshaw

I would like to say a special THANKS!!! To the organisers, all the marshals and timekeepers AND the photographers, definitely couldn't of done it without you all. Greatly appreciated!!!

Day was well run, the wait between runs was long, but worth it!

Thanks to Ando for marshaling in bogan attire in the rain!

Reece, we need to battle/skid against each other more!!! I need to get better at both as well lol, oh and I'll have to stop getting lost on the final battle course!

In short, BIG THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! well worth the trip from Canberra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:(:D:P:D :D :P

P.S. More pics please!!!

In the process of uploading another 120-130 images, not all are as i'd like them but dont have time to edit or adjust right now.

its a good 700mb so it might take a couple hours

They will be added to the same set which is located HERE

There should be about 300 in total when its done.

:P

Here are a couple of snaps I took during the day. They sure don't look as good in "postage stamp mode"

but here are a couple of teasers to get you to browse on Flickr: Clicky! or Slide Show Mode

Was a good day and glad to see everyones smiles as they came off the course!! Still cant believe i was the only one there in thongs to stand out in the floods and rain to marshall people on the skidpan during the downpour! +10 points for bogan attire, singlet + thongs = winnah :D

LOL I would have done it... But I was driving... And wearing all white so although the male company may have enjoyed it, I probably wouldn't have been very comfortable lol.....

Skids are awesome!! WOOOT thanks to whoever took pics of my car :)

And thanks to everyone that organised it, it was a great trip until i was 99% asleep on the highway on the way home, than thanks to Reece for driving my car and his girlfriend driving the renault whilst I napped :) life saver!! *literally*

Next time my goals are: 1. Beat Zane 2. Beat Zane driving his car 3. Drive Sky (reece's car) 4. Beat reece driving his car... Of course none of which will come true unless I am fast asleep and dreaming at the time or reece passes out and doesn't realise I took his keys :)

:D :D :(:P :P

I see you got a shot of me carbon fibre tripple guage holder in my 34 but none of my car :) lol

This You? (chopped the side off :P ) Tried to get everyone where I could, out of 550 odd shots im amazed that I only got 2 of your car!

We are yet to see the pics from Ian or Craig yet so lets see what they come up with.

Did you get any of me mate? Black R33, not andy :)?

Surprised there's no asshole shots from Ian or Craig about me yet... it's like a Texi tradition :)

Give it time, Give it time. :P

What a top day, i'm a bit sunburnt but i'm glad I chose to wear jeans and long sleeves. ;) So many skids and so much fun was had by all. Thank you so much to the organisers and I can't wait for the next one. The Camaro Club showed what American Muscle can do and did it in style. :)

I currently have 1024 images to sift though so I might be a while. :)

I personally think Lizzy wins the 'Plow Queen' award for planting 4 wheels in the grass. :)

    • 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.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
