Prestige didnt mention anything about not sending the application off before the build month had come along. I have checked all paperwork carefully and there is no mention of it.

Maybe he has changed it, or you can't read.. but that is mine clearly said not to send it in before the build date.. I put mine in the post the day before, and got mine back on about 20 days after sending it off. Now just waiting on some small thing like the car itself..

My R32 is due for import this month. I had all the docs ready to mail off on october 1. But geoff from prestige emailed me and said i could fax them off early(think it was about 25 september) so i rang dotars and asked firstly could i fax it, they said that was fine, then i asked them if i could send it early and the lady said there is no problem with that too. So i faxed it off in september then rang dotars a couple of days later to make sure they had recieved it.

My import approval arrived in the mail a couple of days ago(approx 17 business days from when i faxed it)

So i'm sure if you send it off a little earlier there is no problem, i wouldn't risk sending it off months earlier as may get 'lost'

Now i gotta get the dam thing on a ship, geoff said he was having it booked on the next available ship(that was about 5 weeks ago) spoke to him the other day and he has not recieved the schedule from the supplier yet so who knows whats happening.

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but since we're talking about shipping...

The duty/tariff reduces to 10% on 01 Jan 05 - is that calculated on the day the vehicle arrives or when it is released and charges paid?

Reason I ask is because I was expecting to have the car on the 28 Oct vessel, and if it slides to the end of November, might as well wait a touch longer and save $700 or whatever the 5% difference is.

Can anyone shed light here?

PS If the answer is readily avbl on the customs site, I apologise, right now I cbf looking through it again.

sent mine off today, yeah!!!

Car is November 1989 build.

I gave them a call because i had another question, and explained that i had it all filled out and was waiting till november 01 to send it through.

She told me to send it today, because they are fairly far behind processing that my application won't get touched for at least a week.

I asked if it's better to fax it or mail it. She said faxed ones are heaps better than express post.

So, i hung up and walked to the fax machine.... bam. The cover sheet said something like "i know it's ment to be sent on 1st of november, but person xxx from your office said it was ok to send it today"

I gave them a call back and managed to get the same person on the phone who remembered me. I said that i faxed it a while ago and could she please check to see if it had arrived ok. - puts me on hold and goes and check. "Yeah, it arrived fine, thanks for that, it should be 20 days from today, so around the 15th november. Here is a reference number if you need to query anything"

Im going to give them another call in a week to make sure they haven't lost anything, then i'll give them another call closer to the date it should be arriving.

I figure if i keep hounding them, it makes sure everything is ticking along and it doesn't get lost along the way...

I'd suggest for anyone who is waiting for november to tick over to send it through now, and fax it (or you can call them and ask if it's ok). A followup call never goes astray either to make sure they've got it all.

    • 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
