Poor possum. I hope you found it and killed it (assuming it wasn't going to recover)?

As for the bar if you don't mind ye' 'ol elbow grease then get a fibre repair kit and do it yourself!

If you really care then do it nice and pay to have it re-painted.

lol geesus...

man thats harsh... do u have all the other bits to put back on it??? if not.... u aint going to be able to use a fibre repair kit lol... not unless ur a good sculpter.

i used to be a panel beater and repair stuff like that but i just dont have the time or space to do it... really wish i could help man.

talk to a guy named alex... www.garage-13.com he might be able to help ya out

So the possum was on the road? Pfft!

A possum kamakaized its self in to my mates car once, jumped out of a tree in to the car. Tidy as MK1 Cortina, recked the grill, but that was about it. Deadset hey, this possum wanted to die.

Shame about the front bar tho, excuse to get a new one?

hehe, i cleaned one up when i went up through springbrook (qld). I had a veilside front bar on it that had seen better days, the possum ran out at about 80klm's an hour, heard and felt a huuuge thud, then checked my front bar round the corner, cracked all the fibreglass straight up to the bonnet. I'll see if i can find a pic.......

:)!!!!!

LoL, thats exactly what I did when he told me! I was crying! Sooo funny. But deadset hey, if this thing hit the ground it would have been a goner anyway. Crazy arse possums.

But just remember, DONT HIT WOMBATS!

    • 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.
