I'm teaching my young fella to ride a motorbike atm...do you think I've started him off on my 500cc dirt bike or 1000cc roadbike? No oddly he's riding something smaller less powerful until he becomes a proficient rider. I wish skill, logic and maturity came in pill form but it doesn't so we take a natural course of progression to suit our physical and mental capacities. Just like when you learnt to ride a bicycle when a child. The learner and probationary laws are based on the same principals without the benefit of being able to Taylor it for each individual therefore if you pass a minimum requirement you may drive and progress through the system following the guidelines until you gain full competence with a full licence to match.

Absolutely spot on.

Div Hunter - seeing as you are intent on bringing overseas studies into this, I suggest a look at the fatality rate in the UK from Road Traffic Accidents (not the NSW road authority!) and the statistics that accompany those from driving lower power cars. You would be getting on for mid 20's by the time anyone would insure you reasonably on a car like that there, for a reason!

BTW - Roy I tried calling but they weren't happy as I woke them up. Words to the effect "piss off back to your keyboard warrior life!" :happy:

Tried that just then, my dad replied with "it is your fault that you are not a good sri lankan boy....I know what you need. A good sri lankan girl. Let us find one for you" :happy:

Thanks for the tip mr. roy - 5 mins ago I was single, now im married :/

LOL...see i got a laugh out of that. Not many posts have lately. :laugh:

...oh, what i said about my last post in this thread? I lied :laugh:

Its funny you say this. I spoke to a girl who drives an R33 GTS (NA) and I asked her how much she gets to a tank. She said just a tad over 400 KMs... I get 450 KMs and my car is turbo. Sure I dont drive like a dick but I do give it some.

i get over 500Ks to a tank on my r33 gts4 (n/a)

and to those who say "r33 gts still has alot of power" lol have you driven a r33 gts? they go like shit lol but hey still enough to lose your license or kill yourself.

these threads are pretty annoying. "should i get this? should i get that?" FFS if you like the car and willing to take the risk of driving an over power/weight car then get it. its your money do what you want with it.

Ive been driving my car for 9 months everyday on p's. ANd for awhile i was driving it with mismatched panels, white bodykit and a huge intercooler out front with no cat converter.

And have only been pulled over twice both times near the city of melbourne. All they do is check my liscense. My bonnet has never been opened for the cops ever!.

I believe its because i drive sensibly and have a clean record and maybe because i talk to the officer in a polite manner.

I also get roughly 400kms a tank.

Every person who has posted in this thread needs to ring their parents and complain that they were not held enough as babies. :(

My first and last post in this thread. Ash will close it soon anyway :)

Yep.

Sorry, but some people just cant help themsevles.

Opinions are fine, getting a little more "into" it against other forum users, isnt.

    • 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.
