Very crap turnout from each of the three represented clubs/forums..hehe

Was a bit slow and boring to Charlotts Pass. I've never been there before and was very dissapointed with the lack of corners, bends, etc..

I ended up going the whole route, and for any of you who haven't done it before:

Imagine Macquarie Pass, but not just 8km's. 300 odd kms of pure cornering bliss!!

I can't wait to go back again :D

Yes, was a thoroughly enjoyable day. Now I know where to go I think I shall take some others along there for a cruise or so.

Scenery was beautiful, particularly coming down the mountain to Jindy and seeing that big lake!

Thanks Nick/Ewen/Ivan.

Heyas, well im rather new to the forum and Canberra too.

I'm really keen to get out and meet ya all. I’m totally up for a cruise sometime.

I know this may be a little far away but I just returned from two weeks in Tasmania.

I hired a Nissan Maxima (Leather & SAT Nav) and did the drive around.

For the entire two weeks I wished I had the skyline. Hours of windy roads with the Altimeter at 800m above sea level. You cruise from open plains into rainforest into little, really old, towns. I must have passed a thousand motorbikes, all enjoying the drive.

I promised myself I would return with the Skyline.

I’m yet to do any costing but I figure I would need three weeks in total. The two weeks I spent there last was basically 8 hours a day of driving with about 10 days total driving. With this I was able to drive around the entire island, with two day stops in Port Arthur and Cradle Mountain. We stayed overnight in ‘Cosy Cabins’ and for the three of us we paid around $70 a night total (for three). Most of these cabins have about 5 beds.

So, I figure I would take the drive to Melbourne, by day, and book the skyline on a boat, by night.

I figure we could contact the Tazzie Skyline guys and hook up over there. They should be able to sort us out with local mechanics for on-tour mods and unforseen repairs.

With a few months notice & some planning / costing to come would anyone be interested in joining the fun?

M@

they would take so much time to plan. we'd need heaps of time in order to get time off work, and be able to pick a time that suits most people. would be waste of time if only 2-3 cars went.

matski,

wh ydont you come out tonight to the museum and meet us all?

    • 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
