Hey everyone,

Moved to Sydney from NZ a couple of months back now and finally getting enough time on my hands to start playing around with cars again.

I own an R33 back in New Zealand which is currently with my mate who is tidying it up mechanically and then dropping it off at a panel shop to get fixed up in anticipation for export to here.

Quickly learnt that while the public transport over here is great, you still really need to have a car to get around. Ended up picking up a '82 Datsun/Nissan Pulsar N10 which I've just got running again after experiencing a heap of mishaps after buying it. Done a few modifications and it will probably turn into a bit of a track hack.

Looking forward to getting involved with some events. :)

Cheers,

James

Welcome in James.... Whats the deal with export from NZ to Aus, is it an expensive exercise? I bet your having withdrawels LOL

Keep an eye on the events section once its here as there is normally something going on :D

Haha sorry for replying so late guys.

Definitely keen to come to some events, but maybe in a month or so, got a lot of work on.

Pics? Well the Pulsar is in the garage and the Skyline is in NZ still, so this is the best I can do.

Definitely having withdrawals of the Skyline. Expensive exercise... doesn't seem too bad though. Have had the R33 for 4 years now, so sentimental value is high. Have discussed with Kristian at Iron Chef Imports. Will be hitting him up in a few months once my mechanic and panel beater have finished giving it a rigorous going over.

Thanks for the welcome. :)

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • 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.
