Yeah why would someone own a gun? Maybe because they enjoy sporting shooting or to control feral animals on their property. Go figure! But I'm probably a thousand times more likely to die at the hands of an immature dumbster driving an overpowered car recklessly than some nutjob with a gun. Is there a valid reason other than for recreational purposes to own a car with far more power than is required to simply get from A to B? I think not but I'll defend my right to do so. It was refreshing whilst over in the US recently to watch an ad for a car which showed it just laying rubber for a full 30 seconds. How many years ago was it when we could watch the same here? I think some posters on this forum won't stay laughing at the US for much longer because whilst we may be looking in at the yanks and ridiculing their strange ways, the advent of the new draconian hoon laws and mega fines for tiny infractions of traffic laws in Australia makes me feel there's far more critical eyes looking in at us as a community.....It's this mentality of, "Well I don't care for it much so you shouldn't either" that will make us the most unbearable nanny state in existence..

When you say there cheap is wrong a handgun is going from 8 to 15 thousand dollars thats brand new in the box. Although if you want to buy one legally there are 9mm for $860

I said LEGAL guns mate. not a stolen colt 45 from biker steve. a brand new glock 9mm in box with with magazine etc is $1000 to $1500. used is half that.

pfffff in America they have TSA putting their hands down peoples pants and feeling up children for Bombs...no shizz they got footage of these Federal Airport Security searching children. Apparently they dont profile so everybody goes through a "terrorist search", That Country has some serious issues and no wonder they feel they need Gun. When texas tried to ban these TSA the federal goverment threatened Embargo and no fly zone which is a an Act of war ( this occured a couple months ago)...., Those people need Guns more then us lol.

training, license to acquire and proof that you use it for competition or recreational purposes and away you go isn't it baron ?

Me personally, competition sounds cool but I just want to carry it around in my Adidas track pants when i go to sell my meth LOL.:domokun:

it's a bit more than that. you need membership of a shooting club, you must be an active shooter in competitions and those competitions must be of the type of firearm you want to buy (ie no good doing shotgun comp when you want a revolver). then you get your gun licence (varying types) then when you want to buy a gun you need the licence to acquire. you also need appropriate security (seperate safe for ammo and firearms etc) if you want to keep it at home or just keep it at the club. there's a few other things too but that's the basics at least in NSW. there are restrictions on what you can/can't have depending on what purposes you want it for and what licence you get. I think it may be a bit more relaxed in QLD.

this should really be in the wasteland...but anyhoo a good read.

pretty divided on the issue, love guns and think its more the culture than anything which promotes gun violence (see Canada which is full of guns and as someone mentioned Austria or was in Switzerland?)

whatever happens we dont want to end up like this...

We will. Hey we're already on par with china and iran with internet censorship and their constantly telling us what is good for us with out giving anyone the chance to figure it out for ourselves. Not to mention all the silly new laws....

If you think America is bad try South Africa.

I went there last year and in 3 weeks I saw more death, road trauma and gun violence than i have seen in 20 years being in Australia. We stayed a few days with some distant relatives of ours, they don't even cross the street without a gun, and my uncle was saying he has shot dead 3 people so far for attempting to rob his house (he then went on to casually explain how you first whistle to the burglers just before you shoot them, because if they aren't facing you when you shoot them dead you can't claim self defence and you will get charged).

Just look at their homicide rate per head of population, it's up their with some seriously screwed up countries.

Lol, sorry pal but that's just bullshit. Places like Jamaica, South Africa and others are significantly worse

Post of the thread, congrats :)

+1/0

While we are laughing at the Yanks for their "crazy gun laws", somewhere out there people are laugh at us for our "hoon laws & trash media"

the TSA is awesome

finally the Americans have a legitimate program to put back in employment rehabilitated pedophiles

+1 that we as Aussies have our own issues to deal with. Afterall we'll soon be paying a carbon tax to Jesus so he can stop the shifting of the pacific plates, and this 2 yrs after the whole global warming myth was publically debunked and when the strength of our dollar is already making it too expensive for international trade

this. :)

I'm licensed for category A & B, even when I hire out a range just for practice that counts towards my minimum 4 annual attendances. Would love to start entering some competitions but still a bit of a newbie so want get more practice first so I don't embarass myself too much >_< .

It's not that difficult to get licensed & do everything by the book, just a case of doing the approved training courses, waiting for approvals & forms in the mail more than anything

Your gonna use volcanoes as an example you may aswell relate it to our times... How about volcanoes farting out 250 times the amount of greenhouse gases we produce in a year per eruption....

    • 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
