hey dudes,

well as the topic states...

any recomendations? my paint came with swirls from jerrys after some n00b there decided it would be an awesome idea to take a buffer to my bonnet and drag the cord up the side :P been meaning to get it sorted since but havent had time. Now i do.

Druan at Panel N Paint in fyshwick (Dee Color) is pretty good too.. got awards for best color matching in australia.. and hes just up the road from jerrys..

I'm getting together some quotes for some scratches n stuff too.

Is "Panel N Paint" in fyshwick the same place as: Professional Paint N Panel at 58 Kemlba Street Fyshwick? I just spoke to a guy called Kane.

I'll also be getting quotes from Fuller Brothers in Belco, Precision Panels (maybe not, after a horror story a friend told me) and also BARS in Mitchell (but I already know they charge 88 bucks for non-insurance jobs).

Nah dont think its on Kembla street, unless they moved.. its Always been accross the road from Ozzy Tires, forget the street name, (Wollongong Street)?

Just rang Detail FX, $150+ for exterior paint detail which isnt too bad. I'll see what jerry has to say about it when i drop it back for some other things...

hmm.

nice.

I might get mine spruced up. Lovely colour that it is :laugh:

hhey guys, thought i might recycle this thread for this topic which is sorta related.. sorta.

My old man and i are loking to buy a 60's Crown.. preferrably late 60's deluxe. It's a long story to why he wants one. He's looking to restore it, but I'm looking to pimp it out! "X TO THA MUTHA F$@!ING Z!!" style..

In regards to the paint job, assuming that the current paint job is good condish, if i wanted a pearl effect on it, simply put is it just the matter of spraying the pearl on? Would they have to strip back the current paint job put new paint.. then apply the effect? I'm not all too familiar with how it all works

Can anyone recommend anyone?

I tried looking on some toyota forums but they all drive corollas.. and there isnt that sense of family that skylines provide.. hahaha

Anyway, good to be back! Cheers for any info that you can provide.

    • 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.
