well I picked up my R33 yesterday and loving every minute of it today on my way to work driving up high street from stud road and came to the red lights at corner of catheys lane and high street. I was in the far right lane heading up towards glen Waverley and the lane next to me was for turning right onto catheys lane. Now road work was going on as usual so there were traffic cones on my right side with enough gap for a small car to fit through. Looked in my mirror and noticed a green EL falcon coming down. Next thing I see is she indicates to turn right and not slowing down at all tries to squeeze in but instead side swipes my car. Drive of after her exchanged details. she on the other hand was proud and said "gee that’s pretty good huh only some scrapage not fender bender"

all I could do to that was give her a blank look while picturing me strangling her lol

well called up insurance company and they will sort things out. She wasn’t insured so got a written statement from her along with all her license details.

Damage to my car is right rear quarter panel has scrapage from where the bar starts to the start of the driver’s door.

Accidents do happen but it shows how careless some people are on the roads.

Thanks for listening/reading

Ash

How hard was it not to crack her in the nose?

lol was pretty hard. surprisingly i didnt even lose my temper. think seeing the kid in her car calmed me down and didnt wanna yell at her in front of the kid

and chanz in due time my friend.

Yeah i seen similar things happen while i was in melb. Was working up ther n was on way home. Was slowing down for the lights at this intersection and wanted to go straight. The right turning lane was empty and the guy behind me just slowed down behind me blocking access for any car to get into that right lane untill we moved on. This dumb B!tch came racing up behind this guy behind me, wanting to get into that right turning lane and thinking that he was going to keep moving but when he stopped she ran outta road and hit him.

Just another dumb ass trying to push in and impatient.

Oh and just this last wkend i when everyone was coming back from school holidays etc i saw some pretty average driving. I nearly had a couple of accidents due to other tossers on the road.

- Was cut off when some ass wanted to overtake me right at the end of a overtaking lane where it merged back in. Had to brake hard to avoid accident and while watchin & trying to avoid hitting this person i failed to see a dead wallaby on the road (was nite time) and ran over the bastard.

- Came round this corner @100km/h only to be greeted by another dick coming towards me on my side of the road. Lucky for me they had a good sealed sholder and i was able to dodge that one.

- When stuck in a pack of 20+ cars on a normal road i was amazed that people still risked there lives and the lives of others on the road just to gain that much needed one or two places up the line of cars. Note: cars already doing ~100km/h.

i still made it to the same place at the same time as these people staying in the pack.

I could see oncoming traffic having to brake and move off the road to aavoid accidents.

I live in the country and this is quite a regular occurance.

what is it with some (in these cases) women who will tailgate and weave in and out of lanes to get that little bit ahead?....my guess is because they are always running late...you know chicks who are never on time etc...

i see this b1tch in a dark blue excel with dark tints seemingly every other day driving to work, super tailgating & weaving only to have me repass her because the dumb cow is in the slow lane at the next set of lights...lights go green and she starts all over again, a few k's down the road and what do you know? she's made a whole 2 cars ahead of me after seriously risky driving especially in the wet like today :whistling:

not bad looking tho :ph34r:

(not stereotyping women but it just seems that they are the ones i always see)

lol Ash, I was jokingly saying that I hope you don't dmg that car soon....ah well bad luck man, im shocked lol, dont you dare post pics up, ill be upset. lol.

lol dude i was thinking to myself how would you feel knowing that i just got it of your hands yesterday and now this. but hey atleast it wasnt my fault lol

but ye i hope she does pay out.

what will happen though? like i got her drivers licence details and did re-check em to make sure its all correct, got rego and a statement written by her admiting her fault and got her to sign it. i told my insurance company (justcars) about it and they told me that they will sort it out. basically they bill her for my excess. so does my car get fixed while they are sorting it out or they will have to wait till my excess is paid first by her and then my car gets fixed?

    • 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.
