**Saturday course is now completely booked out **

Hey Guys

Due to me making a venue booking error of biblical magnitude, I'm offering a super duper deal on our Level 1 Advanced / Defensive Driving Course.

The dates available are either Saturday 14th or Sunday 15th August.

This course is normally charged at $195.00 per driver, which is very cheap compared to our competitors. However for these two dates we're offering it for only $125.00 per driver.

The courses will be conducted at the Victorian Police Motor Driving School, which is the same venue we use for our skid pan days which many of you have already attended.

It is a one day course, starting at 8.15 am and concluding at around 4.30 pm.

All participants will recieve a certificate of completion (which SOME insurance companies recognise) and course manual. We use qualified, experienced instructors. We provide tea and coffee for the day, but you will have to bring your own lunch.

More information about the course can be found on our web site www.driverdynamics.com on the Defensive Driving page.

If you would like to come along please contact me on 1300 652 693

or email [email protected]

Cheers Kev

Whereabouts in Melbourne is it? I looked on your web site but cant seem to find an address. Might be interested in doing the course if its convieniently located.

Sorry, it's at Attwood on Mickelham rd (Not far from the airport).

It's so cheap that it's worth the trip !! :D

Hi Kev,

Count me in, I just need you to confirm:

> how many places do you have to fill?

> Are we using our own cars?

And I'll lt you know what day we'd like Sat or Sun.

Cheers

Simon

Hey Simon

20 drivers for each course.

Use your own car.

(I may NEED to drive the E55 for the week prior to you coming though, just to make sure that it is suitable for the course :wassup: )

Cheers

Thanks Kev,

one last question.. is this the "defensive" Advanced course from your website??

http://www.driverdynamics.com/defensive.php

Coz if it is we just completed this with Peter Hackett/Paul Stokle at Sandown about 2 weeks ago.. :)

But if your talking about the Advanced "2" course http://www.driverdynamics.com/advanced.php, then I'll probably book the whole day :D aaaah why not maybe even the whole 2 days :wassup:

Yeah Simon it's the Defensive Course, few of my mates work on the Merc one, you would have met Lincoln no doubt.

kev, im in for sure. will you confirm with us who is in and how many spots you have left.

Thanks. James.

It's early days yet James, however I got quite few people interested in coming, so if you do want to come let me know asap.

Cheers Kev

Hmm... lincoln. rings a bell, there were about 10drivers that day, but the most popular one was Peter (aka - HOLLYWOOD) Hackett.

I must say it sounds like your defensive course is similar to what we did that day... And if it's anything to go by, awesome day, lots of learning, and those high speed braking/slalom were very interesting!

I'm currently driving a 91 Pulsar hatch, fwd, no abs (which i heard is a good thing for these courses) and tyres thinner than some push bikes :P - Is there much point me taking this course when i have a R34 GT-T on the way about 3-4weeks after this course?

cheers

You'll find that we normally have a whole bunch of different cars doing the course, it's actually very interesting watching how all the different cars perform.

About the only thing that would make a difference is that the Skyline is ABS, most drivers learn heaps about their ABS on the course. Up to you. :P

Cheers Kev

    • 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
