just read all that, tofu u had some bad luck there!

know how u feel though, when i got my car had to take it back to dealership like i dotn how many times to fix sh*t but they never did what he was meant to fix.

so ive had to fix heaps of it, kinda looks a bit dodgy coz had to get new rims coz the ones that came on the car werent good, so now my cars like hell high of the ground!

some of the damage was my fault when i had a lil accident

but i feel ya tofu!

engine work? yeah a little bit.

I did end up having enough time to get to the pits so it will br tomorrow norning. Did get a dyno on it and it hit 275 bhp @ 7500 . Im a little dissapointed with the result as there is quit a lull from what i can see there is a remapping issue *sigh* another thing on the to do list. lols

  • 3 weeks later...

Well its been a while since I have updated the progress on the struggle with the car.

About two weeks ago, after nearly having a break down with the shit that had been completed, need replacing and what need doing I approached an associate at JShop and asked for a huge favor. An expensive favor (sanity or money ???).But at the rate that i was attempting to get it licensed I was happy to spend the money getting a professional to finish the job.

So many issues have been brought to attention since its purchase and I am currently seeking some legal advice as there were a few serious concerns and neglect in the sale that were raised:

1. Car was sold with no front intrusion bar.

2. The only seatbelts that were fitted to the car were incorrect, the rear seat belts were used for the front and not attached correctly.

3. The diff was a stock diff, poorly weilded into a lock diff. This would of caused the issue with the wheel falling off.

Not really wanting to go into details about it but I am looking for the cost of repairs and replacement for the rims.

Well JShop has put nothing but there best effort into the car and after a week of hope they took the car to the pits early this afternoon. Well I get a call from them at around 4pm "the car broke down at the pits." Not on the way, at the pits. Come on guys, who can say this has happened to them. It seems to be electrical so hopefully Monday/Tuesday is the way to go.

Rim shopping monday, nice set of 17/18s with 3" of dish. *bling*

god damn andrew..

what caused it to break down?

not having the best of luck with this car are you!

hopefully it passes over next week, i want to see this thing out on the road, with number plates, and 4 wheels..

Nope, it was the kill switch going faulty and now that have been removed.

Well it failed the pits. The two big things:

1. Bent Chasis Rods.

2. All the boot racks need replacing

Another week at most but most likely another 2K in repairs will go towards the car.

*sigh* yeah, seems like it hey.

Well before work I just dropped the car off to the Panel Beaters to have the rails replaced and it seems like its not just the rails that are bent. :D:P

This is just unbelievable lol

    • 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.
