Still not sure where I want to take it, everyone says go to efi but their prices are a bit high, I've had bad experiences with recommended tuners before, the people with no recommendations are always more willing to fix their mistakes.

That's if your engine survives their mistakes!!! Do you want to risk a $10,000 rebuild for the sake of a few hundred dollars? The tune is the most important element in the process.

i see your point, judging by how its running now it will only need a quick touch up anyway. im gonna give efi a call tomorrow and get it booked in. just a question, ive never had a car tuned that didnt have a boost guage, should i temporarily install the one from my wifes car for the tune??

My cars tuned and it still doesn't have a boost gauge

:P

I attempted to help Brad install my headrest monitors, we got them all in and got the headunit fixed up. Now we have 4 screens running for our trip over to Melbourne for Gymkhana :thumbsup:

Brake rotors were finished and sent Friday, so just waiting for them to arrive and fit up. Waiting for lots to arrive at the moment...

Want to do mine? I'm so bloody lazy...:rolleyes:

bit of a prick to do but luckily cos i have the plenum spacer i didnt have to take the inlet manifold off too :)

about a 3hr job taking my time to do it carefully.

disconnect all the wiring around the left bank.......... because i disconnect the cam sensor is that going to cause a drama when i go to start it up again ?

Yeh, I've got the spacer too.

I'll be doing mine this week I think. You shouldn't have any issues with engine light as long as you don't turn on the key with any wiring disconnected.

4? where's the forth one mounted?

How hard is it to do these headrest screens? how do you run the cable through the seat?

I have the standard one in the dash, and the 7" pop out one in the headunit. Plus two in the headrests.

Headrest screens aren't that hard, but I sucked at it. Brad was running wire through the seat backs, because there is a void in there, but I sucked at getting the wire through the seat, because there's the metal frame you have to work around.

You need patience to do it, and I don't have enough >_<

I've got a mate who works at Tower Audio who'll do it but he's pretty busy. Not sure if I'm brave enough to attempt this myself...

Might just stick with wifi streaming for the time being

Don't you just unzip the cover at the back & lay them in? Anyway,that will keep the passengers entertained.

And you have a heap of stuff coming if I recall - you are going to be a busy lad over the next little while.:happy:

Apparently they're a pain to rezip and resecure, so we used wire. Not too difficult really, just have to be patient threading the wire through.

Yep, big collection: Rotors, braided lines, shift kit, BCs, wireless reverse camera being the main stuff. Also got pads, adjustable rear toe arms and Informeter which still haven't made it in. Looking forward to getting it all installed :thumbsup:

Headrests are not that hard to put in. Like Ryan said you need patience. I fed a banana shaped bit of wire down the back of the seat. Some times you get it first go other times I just want to throw tools. And if you unzip the seats and undo the plastic lip at the bottomm its a bitch to get back together.

    • 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
