Missing bolt is easily fixed, the hole looks pretty small, I wouldn't worry about it, just replace when you smash the 'box, that's only the clutch/flywheel area.

Good to hear you finally got it lisenced :D

Had a read through your story and f*k its a long ass haul, also read your blog

you paid $500 for raheem to take your car through the pits?

also where'd you get the front intrusion bar fitted?

long ass haul? Its still on going. I've had the car over 1 year now...Its getting there slowely.

I paid raheem $500 to get the car over, he did little to no work, took the car over once (before the current pit issues) and thats it.

I fitted the bar myself. Quite a simple job its just 4 bolts. You could easily do it yourself.

I bought the car over east sight unseen. I received in writing all issues with the car. However when i recieved the car it was another story. If you want the list, PM me.

I spoke to the solicitors but with the added stress on top of everything I decided not to. The missus was noticing how angry i was getting, uni was suffering and at work I had a shorter fuse. I just put it down to character building and a life lesson.

Doesn't matter though, the car is finally moving along at a steady pace and I am content with it.

Soon to come: GReddy ultimate, GTR injectors, HKS cam gears, removal of the extra injectors, new tailshaft and DBA slotted brakes.

yeah.

All the hard stuff is done. The stuff left for me to complete is:

  1. Fit Rear Seats and Belts
  2. Put the Missing Bolt Into the FMIC
  3. Secure Front Bumper
  4. Fit Stock Tyres

The car is licensed as a 2 seater, the inspector wants every hole filled, including seat belt holes and brackets removed. I called BS on him and he bent me over.

The FMIC has 3 14mm bolts holding it, there is no movement but he wants the 4th bolt in.

The front bumper has 1cm of movement in the front bumper, less than what there was when I first got it licensed so more cable ties ftw.

Front tyres have camber wear so I will throw on some new rubber.

    • 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.
