Hey guys, looking at buying a 2 or 3 layer nomex suit and they are mega expensive. Even the 2 layer ones from Revolution are over $550.

Are there any other places in Sydney worth checking out? What about online is there a lot of money to be saved? Where should I be looking? My concern with going online is getting a suit that doesn't fit but if I'm paying half the price I'll run the risk and return if it need be.

Anyway keen to hear your thoughts.

^These guys were very helpful. After meeting them at WTAC, I was very happy to purchase from them. They even pay for the return postage to exchange the suit for a different size.

If you can, go and check out the trade stands at this years WTAC.

Pro tip: Always order a size up from the size you measure up to. By the time you sit it your race seat the suit tends to ride up a bit.

Damn it, they were at WTAC? lol

Ah well, taking a roadtrip out there next Saturday...

Sorry I ment in 2013. Not sure if they were there this year, as I couldn't get there myself. I just assumed they would be again?

Ah OK, i wandered around most of the stands and didnt see them... But its only a few hours away so am roadtripping there after i drop my car off at Road2Race on the weekend...

They have seats and steering wheels etc in stock to try out so its worth the drive! They seem pretty helpful so far over the phone and also came recommended from Boz :)

That is the Sparco Australia Distributor.

Address is 3 Pullman Place Emu Plains (#4 is the distribution warehouse).

Bought all my gear off them, just make sure you call before you leave home to make sure they will be open.

Nice! I called and booked a time with them as they are only open a few hours Saturday...

    • 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.
