Onyx.... What badge type did you have??? Do you have a R33 ??? I know that the series1 R33's have two different rear boot badges/locks, there is a silver and black badge found on the 92/93's and then it changes to the Pewter ( Dull metal ) look on the later 94/95 models.

When my R33 was badged at the back I looked around and found just about the only pewter styled badge in Perth at a wrecker.

Basically if yours is an R33, if you have a silver and black style badge you should find one at a local wrecker dead easy, if its the pewter type then you will have a hard time finding one but its still worth looking around. If you aint got a R33 try the local Jap wreckers anyways becauseyou never know :(

I bought mine for about $80 from memory then with a bit of fiddling took the badge portion from the lock and transferred it to my old lock ( If you have a look at the back you can understand the badge is just clipped in to the lock which can be removed )

If you have troubles finding one send me a PM to remind me and I will dig up the details of where I sourced mine from :D

Well that was supposed to be a quick response but I appear to have dribbled on so I will leave it as that.... let us know how you go :P

The only thing I can think of is that it must be younger kids that take them for souvinears or to impress there friends.... Once they have pulled the badge of the back it actually breaks it. Basically once they have been pulled off you can't use them as a badge/ lock cover anymore.....

    • 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.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
