I was unfortunately involved in a conversation at a party last night where some idiot who apparantly knew everything about cars started to voice his opinion.

I'll save you the dialogue but some of the vomit that left his mouth included:

"300zxs look like taragos"

"The r35 GTR. Now THATS a car"

"Oh you have a r32 GTR? Pfft they are old buckets of crap now.. been there done that."

"He should buy a Magna"

He wouldnt tell me what car he drove but my g/f said before I got there he let it slip that he was a corolla driver.

Needless to say I didnt feel that it was worth my energy to step into an argument with someone who is clearly gifted.

Whats some stupid things you've heard people say about skylines/imports?

:)

I had a guy last nite in a magna try to drag me so i gave it enough to beat im lol shhh. Ayways at the lights he said ohh thats a good skyline is it a gtr i said no is a gtst and then he goes ohh so its a non turbo, i said no its a single turbo, this was when the stupid comment came but u said it wasnt a gtr only gtr's have turbos in skylines, and he called me a stupid bastard who doesnt know anything about skylines so i shouldnt be driving one and drove off?

last year i was at the lights in my r34 and sum guy emptied his drink out on my car thinking he was "hardcore"..

he didnt even have to say anything but i saw red :fight!: with fist clenched i got out and headed his way real quik, he drover over 3big curbs and thru a park, he wee'd himself.

Leaving Autobahn after getting some cleaning products one of the staff members followed me outside and asked......."Is it turbo?" to which i replied its a GTR mate......he gave me a puzzeled look and i said its Twin Turbo (ya dickhead i thought to myself). I hopped in the car and drove away laughing at the incompetent guy who sells car products and yet knew nothing about cars.

LOL... Once I emptied my Mcass Coke once. This lady was tail gaiting me for few hundred meters... then I stop @ light on Yellow, she Locked up big time (thinking that I probably take off on yellow light)

almost kissing my Exhaust... I was WTF? so I gave her cold drink to cool down. Coke cup hit her wind screen and SPLAT!!!. she didnt move when Light changed to green.

I do not condon my behaviour but she deserved it as far as I'm concern.

ps. on my last comment I was refering to some of GTR drivers, most of them are fine drivers. Its the others who trying to Drag GTR causes accidents or Drifting on GTR...passionate Kiss with *(insert any obstacles on the road)* most likely Gutter, tree, street sign, Bus Stop...etc..pppttff.:)

another one...

A:What car is this?

B: Its Tommy Kaira

A: Who's that?

B:Name of Company who makes car...

C: Nice car Its got GTR stuff on it right?

B: yeah... pretty much

C:2.6 ltr twin turbo V6! wickid...

B: who is Tommy K? again? is it same dude who makes Clothes?

I'm thinking * You dumb asses"

some rat-woman in some piece of shit car threw her cigarette butt onto my bonnet as i drove past her at a set of lights once.

Luckily it rolled straight off, although i don't know what it would've done if it had stayed on there as thats never happened to me...

I slowed down but she swerved behind me into a servo.

I get heaps of rednecks giving me dirty looks also...

ive been driving to work one morning, sensibly... doing the speed limit in the left lane... some knob in a bunky pulls out in front of me jjust after the traffic lights and yeah... still plenty of room between me and him, but i was gaining quickly (obviously his car was a bit of mud and wasnt going anywhere quickly...) Well as i was coming up and went past he had his finger up at me... i was just like... WTF... i didnt even know the guy....

I was waiting at a busy stop sign a few months back and finally saw a small break but with enough room to sneak in.

I Briskly accelerated to the speed limit in front of the old guy i pulled out before.

He drove a Camry Sportivo

A few moments later he came up beside my window screamin and waving a pad of paper at me saying that he was going to report me for dangerous driving.

I told him to go fu(k himself.....

Coming out of Bunnings not long ago a guy asked me-

"Is that one of them Skylines mate?"

"Yep" I says.

"I hear there pretty powerful" he replies.

"Yeah there ok, about 250 horse power( mines a R33 GTST )

"Hey thats not as much as a 185kw Clubsport is it ?"

Then sigh to myself and say, "Nah mate the Clubie's got more grunt I think"

And then he tops it off with " What kind of V8 has it got in it ?"

By this time I couldnt help myself anymore and hit him with-

"Its just one of them Nissan ones" And walked off.

Then found a convienient wall to beat my head against.

I get these guys in commodores revving it up when they go past me, hahaha, stupid auto statesmans, oh and this other dude who has a bodykitted honda accord does the same thing, it sounds like a mosquito with a microphone hahahaha. And once this camry pulled up next to me in car park and wanted a drag, and i just ignored him, then he proceeded to do the worst burnout ive ever seen, i was LMAO.

    • 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
