Didn't another skyline crash there last year I remember reading on here?? Thing is even if you change lanes a bit fast and flick it bick a bit hard you can get a bit of a parallex skid happening.

Worst thing about skids is you don't actually know its skating until you feel it kick back, by which time it could be too late :) :)

i lost my 31 at 140kmh going over the top of a hill in taradale,would have done 12 360's,managed to keep it off the dirt walls either side,only thing that saved us was the abs i reckon,come inches away from each wall,but i corrected her nicely.last time i go silly in the wet at high speeds,low speeds well that a different story nothing like lock to lock in a liner.

ps: dont buy hankook tyres they suck all round

maximum braking without locking up all four,must of helped coz im still here writing this sh!t,without abs i woulda had the 4 locked up and at 140kmh i would slid till something stopped me (wall or tree)

correct me if im wrong someone(with proof), but i dont think the fact that u had abs would have made a difference if you did 12 360's. how did u know you did 12, did you count them as you went round?

Anyone who loses it on the freeway fullstop is a dickhead...it dosen't get much easier than driving up a five lane divided bitumen rd does it??

fullstop? so even if he was cut off and had to swerve to miss, or if someone braked heavily in front of them and swerving to miss was the only option?

are they still dickheads?

Hmmm.. isn't one of hte first things they teach you when driving is to always drive to allow for others mistakes?? If you are driving too close... or sitting parallel next to another car doing exactly the same speed then well ..

Anyway, none of us were there, so of course its impossible to pass judgement on how the driver was driving, or why it did occur.

thats what i mean...but when its raining its a lot harder to keep an eye on everything that goes on...if its raining really heavy its normally dark..ie lights are needed...not everyone turns on their lights because its not night time...i guess my point is, it might not be the drivers fault that was involved in the accident

Had a full car load so that was the overall guesstimate averaged.

point of my story is its stupid to go fanging ur car in the wet at high speeds.i was lucky unlike that other poor prick on the freeway.

yep, I believe you can fairly easily anticipate and allow for other peoples mistakes. I guess if you had a fairly catastophic blowout or mechanical failure you may be excused...so maybe not fullstop...but almost. In my job I have the opportunity of reviewing many car accidents and I would say 99.99999% of them are due to preventable driver error. Mate people mostly do a really stupid thing or aren't thinking....most accidents shouldn't be called accidents...they should be called stupids.

Point taken though...

    • 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.
