i'm pretty sure i came dead last haha.. the next day my neck was KILLING me!!!!

the one tip i found was tense up your entire core, focus on your abs and obliques while driving - that stablises your head and helps to push through the jolts of the simulator!

bernard - the espresso in my coffee was great.. nice and strong.. hence why i needed a bit more milk!

constructive criticism though - milk doesn't need to be that hot :P obviously magazines say get it to about 63c but anything over about 57 and it becomes unstable and seperates...

it was also a bit bubbly - early on in the steam, suck a bit of air into it and get bubbles happening but once you've got air in the milk (you did this) - bury the nozzle into it and tilt the jug to spin the milk and heat it... (you did this too)

but once it starts to actually warm.. - slooowwwwwwllyyyy lift the nozzle to JUST under the surface, literally JUST beneath it.. the nozzle should make this VERY quiet hissing sound and those big frothy foamy bubbles will disappear and you'll start to get lots and lots of tiny tiny ones which will create one uniform consistency of thick creamy milk that will look like paint.. once it looks like paint you've done it right ;)

oh and if you've got it right then you should never need to "bang" the jug or anything.. and obviously keep rolling the jug so that the milk stays the one consistency..

:)

you're a great coffee maker i'm not trying to step on your toes here i just like sharing ideas.. that system of milk steaming is what i find works best for me! :)

^^^come to think of it maybe i should have focussed on driving my god damned car and not coming last. haha

Hi Fella's,

Glad to hear you all enjoyed it. I'll try to upload some photos over the weekend. We had a great time and really enjoyed crankin the Angels up on the jukebox with the Crash N Burn cars in action.

We are looking at having a New Years Party with a Dukes of Hazzard theme and having some Daisy Dukes serving the food. We'll dress up Baily as Boss Hogg. I'll keep you posted if it goes ahead. We'll work on a limited amount of tickets on a first in first served basis - with a "No Dickheads Allowed" policy. We're just waiting on the go ahead from Westfield.

All the best and thank you for your business,

Tom Kennedy

    • 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.
    • 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
