Man there's gonna be some people from 'that other' thread will totally belittle you for doin' this, i.e. 'you tryin' to get your post count up' ?? 'couldn't you do some research first'?? 'couldn't you have just messaged the dude and asked him'?? ... did you have to bring back an old thread and make life hard for everyone!! ....

I actually sort of agree. Talkin shit has a place in the Wasteland.

In the ACT we seem to lay waste in every thread, eventually - lol.

The sort of waste that belongs in a bag with a tube in it strapped on to the side (forget the name :/ )

ah yes, but then we wouldn't be here !

Yes poor Jezz cops it a fair bit. I know on the odd occasion (mostly :P) I have been harsh.

I forget we all started dumb ass young guns.

Rather than ask a dumb question I waited till I found the answer out. Many years too late !!

So baby's don't come out their bum ? so where do they come out of ????

Bahahaha

C'mon Richard, their bum..............

Its the belly button isnt it?

On a more serious note regarding said thread, I agree researching is probably the best place to start but some times its old data and 30 pages of it, sometimes personal opinions are needed. If I met someone and trusted their opinion I'd take that rather then a thread 3years old.

How many times do you see R31Nismoid has Locked a thread with a stock standard message along the lines of,

"Believe it or not this topic has been discussed numerous times since SAU started Blah blah etc..."

It's not unreasonable to expect/encourage people to have a look around for answers before starting yet another thread on the same old topic.

I wanna be a Moderator. :ninja:

He was born 'Not a Pulsar'

And he just wanted to have fun,

Then defining a 'Colostomy bag'

During a conversation about bums,

Now he has ambitions of moderating

inappropriateness he would be flagin'

But alas, he's drivin' a Skywagon.

:whistling:

The issue I have with some threads is the miss information that is spread. Normally I just read and move on, however in one particular thread a person spoke badly about something I am passionate about. They had no knowledge or experience about the topic (this appears to be a recurring story with other topics). On a open forum such as this everyone is able voice their own opinion and so am I.

If you can't cop it, then don't dish it.

I have been a moderator and know it is a lot of work to maintain a forum, especially one the size of SAU.

I am for all that - but do keep in mind that what I said was only a supporting statement of someone else who said it. (Perhaps you should read the whole thread instead of reading parts you want). Not to mention calling someone an idiot instead of you correcting / discussing is really immature.

If you can't be bothered to read the whole thing and only take bits and pieces it's never going to end well. I am supportive of all forms of driving - I was pressing the point that everything should be done at the track, from 1/4 miles to drifting- but people regardless of tracks available will always do stupid stuff - so do it in a remote area where people will not get hurt if they made a mistake. Perhaps a PM expressing your more personal opinion would have been appropriate to which I could have explained in more detail to what I meant. As I've said in the past- I don't really get my point across correctly from head to paper. I hope this clears it up for you.

    • 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
