those are aight in blaaack

too freaking modern man, i think you should go old school with me next time!

For now ... we're gay :D

civics were amazingly modern even in the old days though .. a/c and whatnot when corollas didnt have em

That civic is nice looking for the price. Looks more like a reasonable daily than a bunkie though- im with jonno, i say go old school man!

As far as an immobiliser goes man, my old boy used to rig up a relay switch to my parker lights so it wouldnt go without the lights on. Was quite funny cause i used to forget to tell friends/mechanics etc they would be trying for ages before they called me lol. Simple as design, but it was cheap and easy (for him haha)

Old skool is kool ... I cant figure how to live without a/c though ..

in winter = foggy windows without a/c, in summer = smelly due to armpits

hahah that would be more convenient than those damn stick it in every time you drive designs ..

$145 from an RAC approved dude who will come to me I think I got an alright deal .. bit strange paying almost 1/4 of my car's value for an immobiliser though

and I still need to find a second hand excel haynes manual!

Ahh, if i ever find one ill buy it NOW and sell the sexcel asap! :D

1991 Corollas/holden novas didnt even have aircon .. i was rather shocked at that

Hahah Yeah true that James its actually about 190 for the remotes ... but that 45 could be spent elsewhere! plus im not planning to keep the car toooo long

Sent the sexcel into K mart auto service - THEY GIVE FREE VEHICLE INSPECTIONS

i now have a list of whats wrong with it ..

Rear Brakes require replacing (the shoes)

Brake + clutch fluid require replacing

Air + fuel filter requite replacing

R/H outer CV Joint requires replacing

coolant hoses and possible bottom pipe require replacing

cat requires replacing - broken inside

shocks + sway bar bushes require replacing

exhaust manifold leaking - possibly cracked

windscreen washers not working + wiper arms require replacing

small oil leaks

front wheel bearings require replacing

Dont think theres anything too bad!

Doesnt sound too bad to me mate! Sure the list is quite long, and there will be some time involved, but hey- thats what the bunkie is for! Definitely learn some much needed hands on knowledge along the way!! Most of that list is composed of very cheap parts, and some i wouldnt bother with (cough cough- cat) TBH i would be suprised if the Mrs daily vx commodore came out with a list that looked better than that..

Yea the guys at K mart said the ones I should work on first are the front wheel bearings, brakes, and the brake/clutch fluid flush + replace

most of the problems arent major ..

I picked up the Haynes manual, will get to work on the car asap after exams are done .. or maybe even before thumbsup.gif

Just need tools and stuff first (NO MORE MONEY)

btw they had a cool program ..

vehiclevisuals.net.au

just checked its 440 a year :(

but it had some really good animations etc

definitely agree with the kmart blokes there.. bearings and brakes are going to get dangerous if not attended to at some point, and i would suggest replacing the radiator hoses that are worn, as its never fun to overheat thumbsup.gif But otherwise things like exhaust manifold are just going to make it sound 'ticky'

As far as tools, maybe you can get some help of a friend/family member in the meantime until you get stocked up!

I can probably afford the basic tools (axle stands + jack) ... but dont really want to stinge on em

might just rent out m'mates place - about 55 bucks for the first hour and the rates go down from there until I can afford some good tools

family doesnt have much in the way of tools .. and garage doesnt have much in the way of space plus i live on a hill lol

but ill do what i can thumbsup.gif

ive never heard of a brake "Shoe" before ...

freakin exams, i wanna get started already hahah

Sounds like a plan mate!cheers.gif As far as a brake shoe goes it is just the pad set up in a drum brake.

    • 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
