Searched for a thread like this a few times and found nothing so thought " why not?"

I for now work at Target as a casual, I make shit money because I'm 17 and am hopefully getting a second job as a cold room worker for Mrs Crockett's in the next few weeks to make extra cash for savings.

I plan on applying for a job as detector dog handler (or anything else I can get) at Customs. I figure this job will be stable, fun, good pay, full time and very interesting).

All this in the end to achieve the dream, GTR Ownership.

bought and kept property over the last fourteen years. started as a young lad when my mates were still paying rent and drinking it all away. now my same mates mostly are still paying rent or struggling one morgage, and i am sorted and free to party some.

after getting my taste of a GTsT, i am very keen now to off load a few VWs for the GTR... only to convince the lady. :D

i take customers cars to vicroads to register them on their behalf, also get engineers reports for the 15 y/old cars and pretty much sell a car here and there but been working since i was like 13 now 20 and ive had a 180sx r32 skyline and currently doin another 180sx as a show car!

Plastic Injection Moulder. Same here saved for a very long time to even think of getting a skyline, but mainly to keep up with the insurance. Dont really want a GTR just happy to work with the RB20

Bought my R33 GTS-t when I was working for an ISP doing Phone Support. Had that for 2.5yrs then switched to being a Courier Driver (sole trader) and sold my GTS-t for an R32 GTR.

About the only thing I own is the clothes on my back :)

Finance Officer @ 20, so office job for me...

If I could wind back time, I would've...

..got my previous boss to ban www.skylinesaustralia.com to prevent me from ever getting in this very expensive game :)

Q.A manager in Mining Electronics n Comms industry.... bitta office, bitta onsite, bitta system testing... everyday is different, pay is good

can't complain.

my advice, do something you have half an interest, background knowledge in... and work hard at it you will get far...

i started fixing phones... only 1.5yrs ago.. no manage my own department in the same company

Printing (Prepress), so in the Graphic Arts field....I ticked the Industry option but I'm not a factory worker..

good luck with that, I reckon it would be very interesting.. do you know what you have to do to get into it? Do you have an interest in dog obedience/handling already?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • 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.
