ahh good stuff Luke thanks....I better get back out there and finish off now.

Doing the rear coilovers tonight as well and the fronts tomorrow hopefully.....will post up pics later.

EDIT: Just looked at your pic Luke, that looks more like an anti-squeal shim that goes across the back of the pad......is that what you were referring to or were you talking about the small tang on the bottom corner of the pad?

the little small metal thing that hangs out bellow the caliper is what im trying to show.

Was that all you need?

did anyone else turn the aus top gear off before it finished?

i thought it sucked and the people they got to host the show were crap :D

i actually didn't mind it the track they used and camera angles were crap but on the whole the show wasn't to bad of a rip

one of my all time favourites.

I was looking for one for ages. never found a clean enough example for sale.

I ought to stop browsing carsales it keeps tempting me to sell up, but the thought of selling up is too heartbreaking! lol

The tab is just the wear indicator. As 4 piston calipers should wear evenly (equal pressure on both sides and no sliding pins that lock up) it doesn't really matter where it goes.

It's the thing that squeals so you know that your pads are close to worn out before they actually are and you have metal to metal contact

Yeah all good now, thanks boys.

I want 350kw :D

Well Chad, you better hurry up and find someone to do a turbo upgrade for both of us if you want that sort of power :D

oh pete, i owe you a drink too. The drinks i had at mine werent for my bday, was just a random event lol. mY bday isnt till later in the year. Cheers though and my round next time :D

today : shittest day of my life so far

had an job interview lined up for 10:45am , get a message 10 minutes ago saying " interview has been canceled , boss is looking for more experienced people"

how am i meant to get this frigging "experience" if i cant get a job in the frigging area that im applying for ffs -_______-

drive more :miner: !

Hmm ...

Collected from importers in Sydney ... had 32,000kms on the clock then ... drove it back to Adelaide!

Drove it to Wagga Wagga and Canberra and back to Adelaide a month or so ago.

Driven to work every day and cruises on weekends.

Driving it this Thursday to the Phillip Island MotoGP for the weekend.

I'm racking up the mileage ... how about you? :P

    • 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.
