I am a human calculator

I know this guy in Hallam who drives all these exy Mercedes

I'm surprised so many people I know get suckered into cheap car finance.

And I ask them, if car company is making a loss at by financing at below the RBA interest rate, where do you think they will make their money back from?

Residual value usually

driving through toorak & hawksburn reguarly when I lived in Burnley... would often see a lot of P-platers that were clearly 18th or 21st presents. saw a chick on red-p's once with the plates 18BDAY or something as gay as that on a 125i convertible. blaring something similar to Vanessa Carltons 1000 Miles. couldnt have gotten any more steretypical.

Any of you blokes who roll guards had to deal with lips that have been very very poorly smacked with a hammer? Unsure how to go about fixing it without pushing the outside of the panel about unevenly :/

You don't mess with club reg as it is your club and your friends that suffer if you get caught.

I will need it for approx 40 days for childcare pickups and 50 days if whatever I want (less 4 for attending club events) so that leaves me with a day a weekend legit driving (roughly)

You should be right; I imagine you'll be driving places the police have never heard of before

Ahhhh hipster jokes, they never get old...until someone else has heard them

So on topic of the FIFOs earning shitloads and throwing away their money, I met a couple on the weekend in WA

One asked me what I earn and then said he wasn't going to tell me what he earned, because I wouldn't want to know. I laughed and then he told me what he earned anyway, which was nice of him to do that. He bragged about taking home 12k in one month and pissing away 11k of it...which leaves him about on par with a 15 year old casual shelf stacker. Also expressed his concern about being able to pay back the remaining 15k of finance in his work ute...how the f**k? Then told me I should get into the mines. Thanks for the inspiration champ.

Pat I hope you are saving...

The best process is to stop being a bitch and just roll them

What do they usually spend it on?

Drugs & hookers? As there doesn't appear to be much to do in Perth

Have also heard that things are stupidly expensive up in mining towns... a $100 trolley of groceries can cost $150-200 in some towns up in queensland, purely because people have money from the mines... Pity about the "local" residents who can no longer afford to live in their own town anymore...

    • 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
