Best run was through the nation when we left my place to swap the BM for the SSS at about 2:30am. Nooo traffic at all, just flat out, only traffic to deal with was 3 deer that wanted to become hood ornaments!

Oh and a big thanks to 400hp for the phone call today asking if my BMW was meant to be on a flatbed trailer heading towards Parramatta, unfortunately yes it was, but it's awesome to know people keep an eye out for others rides like that! ;)

And b4 you ask, it was the second diff I have blown since owning the car, and it let itself go when the light went green on the Macquarie st exit of the ED this morning. Shyt happens I guess :D

hahaha....  

don't get it mixed up with the special request kelvin put in for 4:40, 4:35 and 4:40

As long as we got it clear you get the 4 o'clock wake up and I get both the 6oclock and 3 o'clock Kelvin specials :D hehehe

Marc - mate I thought you're car got racked hahahaha It was actaully Ed (Ezekiel) who gave me the call first cos he saw it.

Thanks for keeping an eye out Ed, where did you see it? It feels strange seeing my car moving without hearing it, it's just not natural!

Hehe, that's cool mate... it's good karma :D

I was driving into the city and spotted it on a tilt-tray turning off Parramatta Rd. towards Glebe... you can't miss the quad zhorts, M badge or Red Devil in your rear window :)

Hey - Anyone from the North Shore/Northern Beaches going on this cruise, want to meet up and drive together to the meeting/start point? I'm going to be coming from St Ives.. I know 400HP wants to meet up in Chatswood ? I'm 100% sure i'll be going if my alarm goes off in the morning ! :P

Anyway reply here - i'll be checking tomorrow night ( fri night ) and saturday day ;)

-Alex.

Alright I don't know who else is coming from the North at the moment... I know Mona is picking up Tosh in the morning and I'm meeting Kelvin. The meeting place is the Shell station on the corner of Centennial Ave and Bridge St.

Darky and anyone else who hasn't been there. You go down Pac HWY until you get to Epping road. You turn onto Epping Rd. You shortly turn left onto Centennial and you stop at the first Shell you see.

Meeting here at 6:45.

So far Moanie and Tosh, Sura, Darky, maybe BY BY and me.

did someone say yum cha?

Kel and I coming along.

For the northsiders, which way you going after centenial drive, we're leaving abbotsford at 7am, could meet up one the way....channel 33 I guess.

    • 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.
