i guess things work differently here in SA because i know for a fact that a fine like that would get thrown out in court here straight away. in fact one of my mates in law school rekons the cops wouldnt even bother taking you to court over it.

So for the record...

5.2.6. the test instrumentation used for measuring the true vehicle speed shall be accurate to ± 0.5 per cent;

5.2.6.1. the surface of a test track when used shall be flat and dry, and provide sufficient adhesion;

5.2.6.2. if a roller dynamometer is used for the test, the diameter of the roller should be at least 0.4 m;

5.3. The speed indicated shall not be less than the true speed of the vehicle. At the test speeds specified in paragraph 5.2.5. above, there shall be the following relationship between the speed displayed (V1 ) and the true speed (V2).

0 £ (V1 - V2) £ 0.1 V2 + 4 km/h

So even the measurement device has almost zero leeway for accuracy (less than 1/2 a percent)

can anyone explain the formula at the end??

Formula at the end is pretty much the difference between the speedo reading (v1) and the actual speed (v2) should be greater than zero and less than 10% of the actual speed plus 4 kmph.

eg. If the speedo says 66kmph (v1) and the actual speed is 60 kmph (v2) then v1-v2=6, which is greater than zero. Then 0.1*60+4=10, which is greater than 6. So in that case the speedo is ADR approved for that particular test.

If v1 and v2 are swapped, that is if the reading is slower than the actual speed the difference is a negative value and therefore less than zero and not ADR approved.

I actually think that that is the wrong formula, I think for class M1, passenger vehicles, it should be 6 kmph not 4.

I still think we all fail to recognize that even if we are caught speeding a zillion times. Thats not the worst part.

The worst part is 90% of the drivers on road will not be watching the road instead watching what speed they are traveling, because of 0 Torrance.

Its going to be revolutionary when entering school zones, when everyone is focused on there speedos instead of watching children crossing the road.

Yep, we're no longer allowed to do anything other than look at our speedo, because there is no benefit to anyone for driving to the conditions and monitoring their surroundings, the only information the rta thinks a driver should pay attention to is a number at the end of a needle

Also, the businessman in me (proverbially, there is no man currently inside me) thinks that there could be a new market created from this. Head braces that keep your line of sight exactly perpendicular to the needle so to avoid and parallax error causing a speed misread. The only downside to these would be that you may be mistaken as an arrogant jerk at the drive thru for not making eye contact to the slaves working the cash and food delivery windows.

I'll shoot off an email to the RTA discussing my idea, see if they have any suggestions. Maybe they could become mandatory. That would be good for business.

No, I think we'll see happen what always happen, people run around crying for a while, it all gets processed, two weeks later everyone forgets about it and drives normally again, someone gets pinged, the courts make an example out of them, they whinge, it sees the media for a week, and then everyone STFU and forgets about it again, meaning everyone goes back to speeding.

At the moment most police won't bother coming after you until you're more then 10 over the limit. There's even one on these forum who's admitted some won't go you until you're more then 20 over.

    • 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
