had the car at about 6500rpm in fifth** and the FC controller was saying 226km/hr, so i assume my top speed to be maybe 235ish. I thought it would go much faster than this somehow! I was speaking to a guy in a yellow CV8 monaro number plate VOODOO in S.A. who told me he topped out at 270km/hr, with 204rwkw. Is this possible? if so i imagine its coz of the long legged 6th gear.

Has anyone else got a speed for the top of fifth? (come on you've all been there!)

**under controlled conditions on a private road :)

also i was surprised at how smooth and stable the car was at this speed.

I've sat a few lengths behind an R34 GT-R with a 300km/h speedo that was showing close to ~260km/h. Not sure what rev's I was doing as I was more keen on looking down the track.

If you have enough room I'm sure you'd get more than 235km/h Al. How accurate is the speed reading on the FC Controller? Where does it take the signal from?

Had mine to 250kph, and ran out of road, it wasn't flat. AND It was a hot day and I still had the a/c going [forgot to turn it off, and the fan was on the two position, so the a/c was working]. I reckon with the right road and no a/c I might see 260-270.

The 300kph speedo was checked and calibrated only a short while before this, so have to assume it was correct [wheel ratios and sizes may have changed it a bit though, I'm on 17" rims and advan 40zr17 tyres].

ok ok.. factor in i have 19inch rims, i think that means that my speedo now under-reads, am i correct? I think also the faster i go, the more it will under read? im not sure.

The rims are a good deal taller than the stock wheel/tyre combo. So in fact i may have been doing ~250 but the FC only showing 226...

i dont know where the FC gets its speed reading from, but it matches the speedo on the dash pretty much exactly.

sydneykid, if you are correct, with my tall wheels at 6500rpm, that wouldve put me close to the 270 mark?!!??

or just drive ur car up to NT and hoon along the Stuart Hwy to your heart's content

Mine tops out at 193 according to the GPS speedo on 265/30 18s. But that *might* be the speed limiter.....about 4500rpm in 5th...

BTW, by my calc 7000 in 5th is 285, Sydneykid is 5th gear 0.694? and diff 4.11:1?

Oh, and make sure you pick a really long airstrip, 800m is nowhere near enough, so Goulburn is out :)

    • 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
