Hey,

Just wondering for all those coastie skyliners...do you get your line serviced/tuned by anyone on the coast or do you take it to Syd or Newy?

I have had a couple of bad experiances with people on the coast who claim to be "Performace Specialists" so started takin my 33 to Unique... although pain in the ass when u gotta hang around the middle of no where for hours n hours.

anyone know of any good reliable places on the coast?

Hi,

You should pop into the Central Coast Thread I believe there was a small discussion on this a page or two back.

Adam at TM autosport - great guy! Definately recommend him. Haven't heard of the guy at Mt White so can't comment.

there's an excellent skyline mechanic at mount white of all places....not really the coast but a lot closer than sydney

My mate owns the garage at Mt White, the old NRMA one, which i think he must lease off them, becuase my mate recently saw my car for teh first time and said apparently some guy who works on/owns skylines is using dads garage.

I assume this is the guy your talking about?

BTW- I've herd bad things about TM......... =/ for numerous different sources, never delt with them so jsut be weary.

There used to bea great Mechanic at Kariong Automotives (he's left now as far as i know) he used to work at just jap, or so he told me (and his jumper said) but his wife was Jappanese and used to work in Japan for a few years turning spanners. Might be worth giving them a ring, and see if he's come back, his names "Alan" i'mpretty sure.

Do you have the details and address for the new shop?

Plenty of people on SAU have happily used Nathan's shop in Annandale but he is new to Mt White

Can i have the details of this guy too please?

My dad is slowly getting sick of working on my cars and I am thinking I might have to start paying for it one of these days :(

Nathan is the best.

Wouldn't trust my car to anyone else.He's done all the servicing etc on my skylines for the last few years. Give him a call. I think he's only working out of Mt. White a few days a week at this stage.

Thanks

Adam

Can't really recommend anyone else because I haven't been there to experience their work for myself, but I bought my car from Alan and can vouch for his honesty. The car I bought off him is a Stagea, and he did the manual conversion on it himself. He did an excellent job with the conversion, and when I went to look at the car he went over it with a fine-toothed comb for me and had nothing to hide.

He did indeed live in Japan for a while, and did a few similar Stagea auto-to-manual conversions while he was living there, one with an RB26 too...

Nice guy, I'd recommend him, assuming he's still there.

has anyone been to scott at gosford performace exhaust & intercooling? or vince at allpro?

if so what are your experiances?

Haven't been to either of those, but I have been to Central Coast Turbos - located opposite Nissan in Gosford. Really honest and straight forward guys. Number is 4324 4033.

    • 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.
