Hey guys

My car got egged either late last night or very early in the morning, it was parked on a driveway with the gates closed too! Damn bastards!!

Anyone around the Canley Vale, Canley Heights area get done too?

Trying to figure out around what time it happened, so I can camp those little bastards with a baseball bat :)

Anyone that lives near here that got done too, is welcomed to join me lol.

From what I was told eggs can wreck the paintwork if left on long enough, roughly how long does it need to be on for that to happen?

ive had my car egged a few times when i leave my car in Menai overnight, they usually do the whole street so i know its not a personal attack atleast....

On the R33 ive had the car egged on friday night or early saturday morning, and one time i didn't get to my car untill sunday evening, washed it off with a hose and no issues and this was in summer because i remember it was warm weather. The egg was baked on the car and it came off with plain water, when i got home i washed it wth soap but there was no marks.

I personally think its a myth that eggs can destroy your paint work in a resonably short time (like a few days) despite what wiki-answers says lol.

If you really wanna fk your paint how about paint thinner or brake fluid???

and that wiki answers guy is alittle stupid, pouring boiling water would denature the eggs protiens faster and more agressively and "IF" an egg was to damage the pint work the last thing I would do is pour boiling water onto it which would be likely to speed up the chemical reaction....

My 2cents, and use common sense

Cold water washed it off fine though it took awhile trying to scrape the egg yolk off.

There was a small chip on the driver side door paint, but I don't remember if it was there before or not lol.

Definitely learnt my lesson for being lazy and not parking it in the garage :)

where were these guys when i needed breakfast this morning??

I'll be sure to let you know if i find out :ermm:

One of my parents cars had damage to the paint from egg, but that's cause it was on there for up to a week in the sun, we were on holidays when it was done. However if you get it off in the next day or two I've never had a problem. Egg shells on the other are real pain. My mates car got egged one night in a quiet residential street and you can see where the eggs hit cause there's tiny little chips down to the metal in the shape of the egg.

I live around Canley as well, i got followed home by a silver Honda Jazz last week, it even had the balls to do a 2nd lap down my street. Car now lives elsewhere.

Blue Mountains is a nice place.

    • 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.
