Don't buy unrego'd bunkies.. Srsly. You'll end up sinking sooooo much into them. Also avoid cars that say needs new radiator = been running hot = head gasket.

Plus pit fees every time you go.. $75-85. Then 6 months rego $250-300... + Repairs etc.

I hate AE92 corollas... Bought one with 220km and I got all of 60kms out of it before I got a blown head gasket -_-

Ok I was hesitant to post this up, but this is a go-er.

Thats an XSpeed mechanic's car. Should be a good one..

edit: 89 rolla has 400kms! And has farked radiator = has been running hot.. You'd be crazy...

Micras are cool!

Yeah was a bit worried that it would be hard to pass the car ... but the Galant looks like its been well checked up and everything so I thought I'd give that a go ..

is the AE92 Corolla the same as the 89 Rolla I was looking at?

haha yeah looked at a couple of r31 skylines, i like em but their all auto! I'd prefer a manual car really

what about rescuing BOB the beloved wagon..

Unfortunately they are not the official owners of the car so you wont be either :unsure:

Oh god, maybe ill stretch the budget to about 1200 for a nicer car with rego ..

or maybe ill lower my standards and get something like a hyundai excel ... which isnt quite as cool as the rollas :(

The pulsars seem to be alright too!

Check out the skyline for sure- My first car was a vl commodore and the rb30 which is in both of those cars is an excellent engine to work on. Heaps of room in the engine bay, and quite decent on power and fuel to start off with. Having said that, my dad had owned one before hand and he was the one who taught me (still does) how to work on cars. IMO its a great base to start with,

In my experience the excel is very hit and miss- a mate had one that did 300,000kms and was still kicking on original engine and box. (did a clutch, but ffs that is awesome for a pissy sized car)

Another mate of mines sister owned one, and destroyed basically every suspension component you could think of and its gearbox went at something like 160k. Thats without considering all the interior which fell apart like you wouldnt believe on both haha.

well for an excel id prob go for something like this .. http://perth.gumtree.com.au/c-Cars-Vehicles-Motorbikes-Parts-cars-very-negotiable-rego-expires-8-June-2011-W0QQAdIdZ284762611

pulsars a pretty good deal at 700 bucks with rego!

Cannabis you're real lucky your dad could teach you all those things!

Maybe ill reconsider those R31s .. they are auto though :(

Plus their all pretty much unrego'd too

That sexel looks ok. Rego on those would be around 220? (Small engine)

Has more than half a tank of fuel left yo!

edit: fwiw, my 1990 n13 sss already had the head off before 160km pinch.gif

hahaha, GL in your quest for a "good" bunky stupid.gif

Hahaha James good luck with the micra!

We should have a gathering of all our shoddy lil bunkies someday hahaha

I'll have to check out those pulsars, the reviews seem to be quite good

Yeah for 300 bucks Its quite a good deal

That half a tank would probably be worth a good 10% of the price ;)

    • 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
