Yesterday I saw a WRX scoop on a R33 GTS25t. What is going on? Do people not know that WRX scoops belong on Subaru's, Lancers and Mirages. So I quickly dialed 000 for the ambulence to help me recover and the police to make an arrest.

Just in case you wondering, I'm still a little ill. I've been told by the paramedics that it can take weeks if not months to get over such a shock.

W out.

lancers and mirages with scoops!?!?!?

you obviously don't your cars either, it probably was a WRX with an aftermarket front bar.

If you didn't look close enough you'd have thought the Auto Project GC8 was a R34 GT-R. I also almost bought that car. (See attachment).

I was joking. i didn't call 000, that was a joke too.

I know my cars quite well. it was a stock R33. didn't even have an after market exhaust or after market wheels.

don't get me wrong, I don't mind the odd venting in the bonnet though think it to be a little ordinary when someone places a WRX scoop on the bonnet around 20cm from the windscreen. Firstly, the car most likely didn't have a top mount IC. Secondly, why would you want a Skyline to look like a WRX. I like WRX's but they are two totally different cars. I don't want Ferrari tail lights on my R33 (though I wouldn't mind the Ferrari in full).

lighten up evo.

Yeah its like a connon on a VL it just doesnt suit it, i know a VL has got the worlds best motor in it, made by the best motor company ever! But thats different VL's woth cannons is rice in my opinion anyway. And whats with those KIA things with the WRX scopp and the gold wheels, arethey WRX's wannabes or what!?

    • 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.
