Welcome to SAU's newest forum, the Fabrication section.

This is the place to discuss custom fabrication of anything car related, like;

tools used - welders/band saws/lathes etc etc

methods of fabrication - metal Fab/Welding/fibreglassing

problems encountered during Fabrication (help)

Custom car fabrication/roll cages/rust repair

tips on welding methods

fabricating custom IC piping and ways and techniques

fabricating IC mounts/ oil cooler mounts

surge tank boxes

out of the square conversions

build your own strut braces

Be aware this forum is closely moderated to keep topics on track. Please be specific about what you are asking or discussing, otherwise general automotive discussion is probably the right place to be :laugh:

PS Sorry R33 Rob, you kind of did and you kind of didn't :D

Yepo!

Key point. Please be specific in your question... OR, if you are posting up your handy work.

Please ensure you put detail in for your audience.

No point showing people and not informing them of how you did things

R33 Rob, please try again and be more descriptive, your far to general.

This section is going to be a very specific one due to the nature of the work/questions

Perhaps, could this sectoin also include people who have fabrication gear e.g. welders etc who don't mind doing small things for sau rates (as opposed to overpriced workshops)?

once this section gets going, i believe that those people capable of doing/making things for others would be contactable via PM etc with evidence of things they have made.

no need to start any kind of competition or advertising for people, and people can see what they have done already and make the approach to them directly.

how about an intro on welding by whoever knows how? then stickying them.

id really like some general knowledge but im too lazy to do a course or anything.

and a big disclaimer would be good. 'IF YOU BLOW YOURSELF UP OR BREAK SOMETHING DONT BLAME US'

just a few suggestions.

yeah, that would be pretty cool.

I've been tempted to buy a welder (as the next tool on my list).

Yes i'm a tool whore.

I mean like at bunnings, they have ozito stick welders for $100. Yes, I know that a stick welder is inaccurate, and not as good as a mig, but it's cheap. The cigweld mig is $500.

I want a custom exhaust(cat back) made,,can i open a thread asking if theres anyone in western sydney keen on making me 1 for a good price$$$

OR strictly PM?

I already went through the introduction thread,but couldnt find SYDNEY Exhaust SAU'ers.

the problem with that is that any custom exhaust is always going to end up being more expensive than a high volume production exhaust from places like just jap etc.

So if you are after cheap - then go that way

i'll see if i can find an easy way for things like this to be asked.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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.
