Normally i wouldnt look twice at a copy of street machine but I had to come back for another look after I noticed a Mitsubishi Magna on the front cover of the latest issue.

It looks hot. The car has been dumped on some very deep dished chrome rims has been converted into a two door coupe with suicide doors and has a COME 404Ci V* under the bonnet. It has been designed with some consultation with Mitsu Oz who want to get more young drivers into their cars and think that this may hekp.

The audio visual gear is all sony as the car is being used as an xplod demo car for shows like auto salon and street machine shows. There is about 16 speakers and I think 4 or 5 subwoofers in the car as well as the usual array of lcd screens and so forth.

I must say for a magna which i normally find to be very plain and boring (dont like the new nose of the car) it looks damn sexy.

If you see the car at any shows its worth a look

ill proably get flamed for saying a magna looks sexy but oh well let the flaming begin sigh :flamed:

:D

they began the build a few years back with a brand new bodyshell from the previous model but when mitsu announced the new model they replaced the front and rear with the new bits and the interior is custom anyway with the dash bearing a very minor resemblance to the normal dash its in a bright red with some small but tasteful orange flames along the top of the rear quarters.

nah this ones a show special using a holden (aww damn i said a swear word :) ) built by Daryl McBeth whos one of the more famour aussie street rod builders.

This car has more chrome on the underbody than the entire silverware section at david jones :) the bonnet and boot have been changed to hinge in the opposite directions and the coolest feature i have seen is the tiny little racing mirros that also act as the door handles (press them down to open the suicide doors).

They have slammed the car too this thing is soooo low i dont know how its possible to drive it anywhere which could explain the airbag suspension set up. The twin 3.5 inch exhausts exiting out of the centre of the rear bumper look the part too.

I will try and post the pics when i get home for you guys who are interested but wont be home till about 11:30 WA time sorry (i hate late night trading :D )

yea i remember selling this at the melbourne motor show few years ago in bare metal .....and it lookd horn then .....aesome that its complete now ....might buy this issue.. havent bought one in like years ..

Thats it for now who could think that you could do this to a magna woot! :D

i think mitsu needs a V8 or a turbo or both :headspin:

if they want to attract a younger crowd of drivers to magna they need to show some of the rally bred spirity of the magna ie AWD turbo etc

and if they want to compete with the locals a v8 verada might be the go i am sure somewhere in the mitsu world garage there is a v8 hiding somewhere waiting to be boganised :D

ok heres the pic as promised

aybee the exhausts are not ricey at all just two round pipes coming out at the back in the middle have been done this way to improve flow not like those silly square lancer ones they dont come out of the middle of the bumper i guess i worded that a little weird all they have done is trimmed a groove out of the bootm of the lip of the bumper to accomodate the tips which come out then angle down at 90 degrees

bring on the 3.5 turbo :headspin:

:D

sorry about the quality of the pic couldnt find one on the net and dont have a scanner so i used my digi cam and took a pic of the poster

yeah its not bad at all for a magna anyway

shows you can make even the most boring cars look good tho i suppose

i saw it today... spent 15 minutes reading article at the newsagency without buying the magazine. The dude behind the counter was giving me an angry look for some reason.

At first i thought it was a verada coz of the verada lights, the exhuast looks good too.

I didnt like the suicide door idea but i guess it had to be done if you rip out the backseats and put in 4 subs... no point with 2 more traditional doors.

The thing i hated about it was the console, just the sony HU stuck in it, i understand that its a showcar but that was a total waste of space.

Sound system looked sweet and the chrome gave it the look.

Overall, very nice :D

    • 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.
    • 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.
