This is a great start.

Anyone have any ideas on the type of display / props we should use? (if any at all)

it could be a mock up of the drags, a garage/workshop scene etc. etc.

If we need to print up cardboard number plates with a logo on them let me know and I can do it at work on the colour laser printer (to meet the concerns about cops collecting rego numbers)

Do we have any workshops/companies out there that would like the added attention that this many hot cars will attract? They could possibly set up a display alongside or in amongst our cars. (perhaps D1, AutoPro Tilbrook, MorePower or others)

**** da police .... if we don't take our cars out at all, or sell them and buy falcodores instead, then they win. Yes getting defected sucks, but we can't not live our lives in fear. And as for the 'there will be a defect station here, here and here' .... just look at what DIDN'T happen at drift day (which was supposedly going to be defect city) - I only saw 1 copper all the way home - and he had pulled over a commondore :)

Matt, did you get a chance to talk to Shaun at Boost Worx?

Anyone have any ideas on how we could/should display the cars?

I will send out PM's later to those who have expressed interest in attending with details on how to pay and dates etc.

Oops! Sorry mate. I forgot to update the thread!

I did have a chat to Shaun about Autosalon. But as it costs ~2-2.5k for a trader stand he has decided he probably won't enter. :(

Shaun is willing to offer free dyno runs to those who are entering so they can display a current dyno sheet with whatever info and format they want. So we could all have a dyno sheet with 'Skylines Australia' in a large eye catching font, all done in the same style/format, and of course it would also have Boost Worx on it.

If we go with a 'drag' theme (my personal preference) then those of us with timeslips could add a copy of their PB slip to the dyno sheet.

Maybe we could have a drift and drag theme? Steve's car is perfect for a drift/circuit theme and mine for drag. The others could pick which option they want to go for and then display the two themes side by side.

The drag theme is easiest to set-up. We just need a christmas tree (drag lights), a mock burnout/launch area and waiting lanes.

<- in

provided my schedule allows.

Excellent Paul :D We've got to have the GT-R represented under the SAU banner!

Having a 'Skylines Australia' display without the almighty GT-R would be a bit like drinking zero-alcohol beer :(

Edit: The only bummer is you wouldn't be able to do a dyno run on the Boost Worx dyno :( Unless Shaun did the remove shaft option?

Here's the updated list of "potential" entrants:

    • 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
