Sports car rentals.

I have the orange gallardo in my driveway at the moment, and do alot of work for them.

They had a near new porka crashed a couple of weeks back in the national park and a brand new Aston in a ditch along old pac months ago, that's why the minis try and keep a tightish reign on the drivers.

People don't understand or even consider the cost to repair one if you do happen to damage it.

I actually did a Drive day with them the other week - thoroughly enjoyable, no Mini's as one driver couldn't make it.

What is wrong with the Gallardo? Noticed a few rust bubbles and minor imperfections when we were driving it.

Lambo is back with SCR now. Was in for regular maintance and an oil leak that has been a nightmare to chase down.

Was leaking from a locating pin on the dry sump tank and was filling the rear chassis rails.

It's doing a lease day at Wakefield park Saturday week, so will be back for a once over before that day.

The body is actually all aluminum, it's got some corrosion coming through in a few areas which is apparently common for them.

Ah that must have been the cause for the "check engine" light we saw on the dash that the lead driver told us not to worry about :P

Negative, Corosion anywhere other than around some of the brake callipers is NOT normal. Who said otherwise????

A guy that lives in my parents street has a White 458.

Drives it all the time. I have to admit I'm a Lamborghini man but those 458's are by far the sexiest car Ferrari have produced!!! Yum yum

If he is a young Arab looking bloke it would be the car I followed to work one day last week. Going North bound on Homebush Bay Dr and turned left just before IKEA.

Tough sounding car :)

No he is in his mid to late 30's

But that young Arab bloke who has a white 458 is from Greenacre.... He lives near one of my mates

You'd think to move from Greenacre before spending on a car though...

^ ^ ^ Looks like it...

Matt followed them into...

Further up Point St, waiting at a set of lights, a young couple looked at this parade of supercars > he pointed towards Matt's car and said, "I'd prefer that!" > She said, "Yeah, definitely."

Yay for the 740iL ! ! !

My brother spotted a Red 458, Orange Gallardo and a white Lambo Gallardo plates 66W all at Star Valet Parking on Friday night and I saw that White Lambo 66W and the white 458 with the young Lebo driver at Brighton on Monday...

Redbook says $789K for the Aventador, that's excluding on roads and options!

When we followed them into the valet area they got out and swapped drivers and quickly left again. Given that, and also that the two cars are so rare, it's possible they're owned by the casino (or someone associated with the Star) and they were loaned to some high rollers

That was definitely strange.

    • 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.
