Hi all

Long shot but maybe someone knows........

I have looked at the Workshops/Tuners sticky but cannot see anywhere and am not overly familiar with car part stores.

Mitsubishi were my first port of call but they would take up to 4 weeks from Japan and as it seems, (I think it would have been incorrect anyway based on the ones Eastside supplied). I tried Chadstone first being a Ralliart Distributor but they could only order them, then tried Knox who suggested Eastside Mitsubishi.

Eastside had the LED's that Chadstone priced so Mavric has kindly trundled out there and got them, only to find they are the wrong size. I called Techsport who were very helpful and suggested Bursons as apparently they are quite common. Bursons couldnt help and sent Mav to another parts distributor near by who again couldnt supply and this time told him they were genuine Mitsubishi parts only.

This LED has a little black plastic cap on the base with a bayonet type fitting that locks it into the dash.

Is my only hope 4 weeks from Japan (assuming they get the right one as there is no part number on it) or can anyone help on here please?

Can post a pic later but Mav is currently roaming Melbourne with it!

Any help appreciated. :D

No idea what type of LED you're after Alan, but Justin and I just got some LED's sent from America.

They took about 3 days to get here :)

I'll try find the link to the site for you...They seem to have a pretty wide range to choose from so you might get lucky :D

Thanks for the replies guys.

After showing them the globe when Mav went to get the money back on the originals, the found some and out of courtesy did a straight swap even though they would have been priced higher.

Appreciate the quick response guys.

This can be deleted/locked if needed or used as a resource if it helps with other suppliers.

:D

I can help you find clear tail light for your LANCER, apparently they are very common as well :) . Also since when Mav become your Toy Boy hahahahahahaha. :) .

ROFL! Get back to that affair with the burgundy 33! Wait for the next opportunity Koala! :P

And.....

Thanks Mav for the help, really appreciate the driving around. Will catch you tomorrow at the Autosalon meet if its still on. :)

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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.
