ok went to take off the FPR...to my suprise one of the heads was stripped which was kinda annoying. THey have spring washes and hence they are hard to get off...whoever tried before obviously didn't ahve much luck..

I was going to get out the file and file down the sidess and get onto with some vice grips...but due to location its gonna take awhile.

Any ideas? otherwise its file time tomorrow. I wasn't keen to drill it out but that might be the easiest, just worried about damage to the existing thread.

Get a dremel and cut a slot in the head of the screw and use a flat blade screwdriver to get it out....just don't go as deep as to cut the head in half :D That or yeh file the sides flat and go at it with some vice grips.

not too sure what bolts ur talking about but i went to bunnings and got myself a thread remover and a 1.5mm drill bit. u just drill the hole in the centre insert the thread remover and unscrew it. worked for me. cost about 18bucks all up. not sure if its any goof for stubborn tight bolts though.

or you can get a socket slightly smaller and bash it on with a hammer, that's what i do, if your sockets are quality, then it won't fark them (i use sidchrome tools because they have lifetime warranty!)

yeah all mine are kingchrome...same stuff...thats a good idea...might give it a go and see what happens...

Get a nut that is bigger than the original bolt size, needs a to be a snug fit, drill it out to the correct size if you have to. Tap it on with a hammer, use the arc and weld it together, undo while still hot [but not glowing], the heat helps to loosen the bolt anyway.

Otherwise, all the other suggestions here are good as well, dremel can be a lifesaver, ezy outs are good but can snap off and tend to expand the original bolt as they bite in. Bashing a socket on can work, but be careful that you don't break the parent material [the thread hole that the bolt is screwed into] with over exhuberant hammering cos then your really f*#ked.

If you are careful, a drill can remove the head from the screw, which then allows you to remove the FPR. It will leave enough thread protruding that you can use pliers or vice grips to remove the threaded portion.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      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.
