As some of you know my car was in an accident. Today I was talking to the guy at Panel One and he said that my headlight cost $1000 brand new. How is this possible? He was talking about some black and silver reflectors or something. I dunno.

btw, I don't want to bag them out but they've been really slow fixing my car. Partly due to the fact that I, like a stupid idiot, told them that I had lost my license and partly because they moved shop about a month ago. It's been there since Jan the 3rd. I had a little chat/argument with them today, again. I'm so wired about getting it back again. Should be very soon.

Tell me about it. They've been after a guard for two weeks now. :evil: I really gave it to them today. I asked them if they need help to get the guard as they are incompetent. Dude just went quiet on the other end. I also mentioned courtesy car (even though I've got no license) and he froze again. Aaaaargh :evil: :evil:

I remember when my mate slammed into my mates R33 SI:- i helped him get all the parts for him the car was fixed in a month and a half- considering the damage it was a great effort.

The only part that i couldn't find anywhere- Was a back-left quater panel- all the other places had the right back quater panel - so it took 3 weeks to bring one from Japan

They got a second hand guard as the insurance co told them to but it wasn't the right one as the blinker was higher up??? Anyway, they ended up ordering all new parts so all's well that end's well.

Apparently, they can get second hand parts if the car is older than 5 years. Has anyone heard of this? Or are they bulls**ting me?

Suncorp Metway, I called them about a month ago an had a whinge. They in return called the panel shop but that only stirred the pot up if you know what I mean.

You know that feeling when you haven't had sex for a while and you get wired up and frustrated. Yeah, well this is worse.

megs, my killing spree has been put off as I have no license. If I did, I'd have been around to their workshop every second day.

The stack. Well, I took a friend in it for the first time and like the immature little p**k that I am, I had to show off. I was doing something around 100 clicks when I rounded a slight corner. It stuck at first but then locked up, slid and into a parked Barina or something. My front right wheel hit his front right. Guys, the funniest thing was on the other side of his car. His left front wheel was flush on the ground. Bent the f**k out of his front end.

My guard, lights, rim, suspension and bumper are shot to pieces. :cry:

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • 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.
