lol ... except what you left on the garage floor :)

hmm ... 8 days to save 16k.

well it looks like I'll have to save a bit longer then :P

So I guess that means a couple of extra thousand $$.

So when are you able to get in yours and drive away and have you registered it and everything yet?

Still ... you could make TWO black lines while your waiting I guess. :)

As far as I know, the new SEVS scheme will only allow stock cars to be brought into the country, unless you bring it through the Private Import scheme which requires you to own the car in Japan for 12 months prior to shipping it here.

This will foreseeably raise the prices of nicely modified imports already in Australia...

i drove it round for the first week i had it cos if a temp rego :) so i know what im missing out on :P

btw if ur gonna try and get finance from a bank or maybe even finance company.... id be saving now cos u need to show a savings record... thats y i couldnt buy mine last yr when i turned 18 :)

yeah maybe

if u havent been saving already

id say start saving now and wait till u have most of the money or whateva position u want 2 put urself into

if ur looking at getting a loan, look at how much the repayments will b and try saving at least that each week plus insurance and a few extra $ for other costs

if u can do that for say 3 months id say ud be ok in getting a loan

i saved 250 a week for 3 months and got a 20k loan easy

but im not sure on what factors come into this aswell

i'm doing the same thing as chaos great minds think alike :P

i'v got bout 10 atm gonna save around another 2 and buy a 180

btw i work at kmart do about 12 hours a week after school n stuff so i save alot of that, have been doing so since yr 10 - 2 years later i a few steps away from my goals

good work ... I guess that's what im gonna have to do .. just keep working at it .. no easy way out.

Makes me jealous of those Japanese you see driving 'round in their lines and supra's when I know damn well that they're parents paid for it. Still, at least when you buy it yourself you'll learn to appreciate it.

    • 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.
