Thought id break up the car chat with a different thread.

Was wondering what others do to thats interesting or to keep themselves occupied.

OK WE ALL KNOW WE LIKE CARS AND COMPUTERS.

So besides "working/driving/modding" your car and "playing/fixing/building" computers what do YOU do to keep yourself occupied, better yourself in your spare time :laugh:

I'll start if i must...

Currently:

Homebrew beer

Learning to play electric guitar

Build models (cars...yer i know its car related :laugh:)

Electronic projects (anywhere from building them Jaycar kits to building myself a Tube Amp)

Any one else care to share, or are we all just boring car nerds? :miner:

Apart from Cars, Computers I do bugger all else.

Head out fishing when the weather is good to do so.

The old man has 2 year old Haines Signature 550c, 130hp 2 stroke.

He's currently eyeing off a more fishing suitable Mustang 2250 (? I think it is) Walkaround. Will possibly be a stern drive as the fuel economy of stern drives are pretty damn good.

I used to Box during my early to late teens down at Morphette Vale Boxing Club, finished school went on to Zen Do Kai Kickboxing for a little, met the other half through work (works pay phone box wrong number that I answered lol) and couldn't be bothered with it all anymore. lol. :cheers:

I'm into my fishing, mostly land based at the moment. I'm on fishsa.com under the same name. I get out there whenever i can :P

I also ride bikes, used to race BMX but in the last year I've converted to MTB as they are easier on the body.

    • 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.
