Well as the heading says I'm leaving VIC... sold my house over the weekend and moving to the other side of the country... to Cairns!!! Lived here for 20 years+ and the time has come for a change. The reality has kind of hit me this morning, it is a farking huge move! One of the main reasons I am heading so far North, is my sister, her husband, my niece and mum live in Port Douglas, so it will be good to be able see them more often (we all know how important family are :D ) all the bullshit with the VIC Government / cops / EPA etc, helped me make my choice of not buying another house here, although it has been a hard one. SAU VIC is really kicking along now and I wish all the guys and girls I've met could come with me hehehe, but I'm sure there are plenty of 'lines up there too? I know there are bloody awesome places to cruise... like along the Coral Coast, upto Kuranda, through the Table Lands etc... so if anyone is planning on a trip up North be sure to contact me and you'll have some free accomodation! I don't leave until the first week of April, so I will still be at the next couple of meetings and DEFINATLEY not missing the Great Ocean Road cruise - that will be great! I won't be leaving the forums either and I've already spoken to a few guys in Cairns that are active members here... so those of you who are gonna be at the next meetings and the GOR cruise, I'll see you then, otherwise on the forums as a Queenslander HAHAHA!

Cheers everyone!!! :D:D :headspin:

Its gonna be nice for you being able to drive up there without worrying so much about them.

Good Luck with the move and I hope the change in life is a positive one for you. All the best

Cheers

Hey Lukas - we have a place up in Cairns (Clifton Beach) and I must say I think it's the best place in Oz. My long term goal is to move up there.

Due to other committments I don't know if I can make it up there this year although with flights up there so damn cheap I might even come up just for a weekend or something. (Got an email from Jetstart this am offering flight to Cairns 1 way for $69)

Sure is Andrew, it is beautiful up there!!! Those Jetstar flights are cheap as!!! Hope to see you up there!

i reckon we can all come up andsee ya  

have a safe trip man and good luck!

For sure guys, that'd be great! Thanks Ni! :)

hehe.. another one leaves.. I wouldn't say all the road b/s was the only reason i left either, but it was a factor. I mean if you like your cars and driving and that is what you like to do to enjoy your spare time - why live in nazi victoria weren't you can't enjoy it as much?

good one bracks, another one down.

I would have posted ealrler but due to funky pushing the ban button on me :D (damn u monkey)

Good luck man, have fun. I bet ur happy that ur leaving this ***ked up place with the weather and most expecially the cops.

Thanks Chris. I heard you got banned LOL! Just chill mate and try not to get too personal... speak to ya soon. :)

    • 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
