Craig, installing rotors and pads are a peice of piss, if a first year mechanic can't do it I think he needs to re-evaluate his chosen profession cos he's obviously f**king useless...

^^^ Totally agree. Its a job a 1st year apprentice should be able to do. Sorry to hear a lacky f**ked ya car. I've had lackys f**k my bikes working on them before. :(

I should be doing my caliper conversion tomorrow. After spending some of today painting the Dolphin body kit ...

... speaking of which, its dark now, but I'll take pics tomorrow. The Dolphin kit now colour matches the Stag. Going out tonight to show her off :banana:

just a quick tip for all

DO NOT GET A 1ST YEAR APPRENTICE MECH TO ATTEMPT TO INSTALL YOUR NEW ROTORS AND PADS!

couldnt get the new pads over the new rotor, in attempting to open the calliper to fit over the rotor with new pads

he broke the fluid line.... :banana:

so i learnt my lesson, im just gonna pay a proffesional.

should have done that in the first place :(

he had every thing but a g clamp, to open the calliper.....

im just gonna send it to abs, let them deal with it.......

hopefully they can find another line for it......... :banana:

craig craig craig, i told you i'd help you do them. Ive done countless amounts of them.... oh well...live and learn.

    • 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.
