Valid points there D_Stirls, especially regarding to the importance some people place towards postcounts. However I think that's the whole point of the Wasteland, an "off topic" section for users to talk about things other than cars.

the problem with the wasteland because it isn't a section it's a single topic you can have a concise conversation about a specific topic because it gets lost in the rest of the dribble.

P.S. Damo was just an example that came to mind not meant to single him out, it must be his average of 11 posts per day that drew my attention.

I get what you're saying Dale but it would be more crap to moderate, hence from where we stand, the wasteland thread is more than enough.

To create a subforum as you've mentioned would be something that Christian (aka Prank) would have to establish.

I know Andrew may come across as tough occasionally but I have to back him in what he's trying to achieve, ie not taking any ideas from ns in the way they do things and remaining true to the original concept and idea behind this forum.

yeah i agree.

a fair few valid points that i have made/questions asked have fallen on deaf ears in here.

cant complain, cos on the other hand i have derailed a few good convos too :(

yeah i know Heslo, but when people say post whore, the finger is usually pointed at me, but i can name a handful of others (not just in sa) who actually whore around without any contructive posts.

is it coz my e-penis is bigger carl? :(

im just on alot, i contribute to alot of stuff. oh well. if you have a look around the sa section, the threads have been staying on topic lately, has anyone else noticed?

well you need more moderators then, that's easily solved. You may knock NS.com but it is one of the biggest performance forums in the world so they must be doing something right, and despite popular opinion they do actually have some reasonably tough moderators.

:(

lol

i reckon that this can be put down to the mods being moar active :)

IMO a good thing... not a fan of ns.com factor

.:EDIT:. good point D_Stirls, i think its just the user : mod ratio that lets it get out of control

i would love to see a line up of the top 10 Average posters per day.

Cos i know you would be claiming Steve would be up there but his average is only 6.4

Edited by D_Stirls

yeah fair point, i can think of other users who have also only posted "don't mind me, just whoring through" or similar.

i dont think the state of the sa forum is as bad as it is made out to be, the moderators are not only doing there job well but the users have stayed generally on topic in alot of the threads.

Dale, no i wouldn't claim him in that top 10. Wtf is everyone trying to claim here? Are we trying to point out "over-active users"?

One of the threads you may be referring to might be Amanda's pregnancy thread, yeah?!

This thread was started well before the tougher rules were enforced and to shut that down now when she's ready to give birth would be plain heartless.

TBH That was the most off topic thread I've ever seen

Do you people really believe I give 2 shits about children, the procreation, the drama? Sorry if this shits you all off, but this is exactly the point of what andrew is getting at, even tho I know full well I'm twisting his words. I know a bunch of folks who have kids and yeah, they're always very proud and what not, but I have to quote Bill Hicks here and say "Your children are NOT special". Hell. even cockroaches procreate.

Yeah fair enough, if someone wants to share something cool like having a kid, leave it to wasteland. But straight up, that thread contained a hell of a lot of bitching about the "other half" which leaves us with one half of a story. At that stage, I tuned out. How many pages has that thread gotten to, within 9 months?

If you need someone to talk to or vent, fair enough but picking a car forum at random and venting to people you hardly know publicly... cmon dawg... thats not what this is for...

Mods. Don't pretend there is a grey area here. Its black and white.

Signing off, one heartless bastard.

-D

Sorry but i must as he just said every thing i have been thinking for the past 8>9 months.

+1

And that is meant as +1 to what he was saying not my post count :lol:

Sorry i should have written "SOME" not "YOU".

Just out of interest who do you think would be on that list cos' i can't think of any, well any that i haven't just look at.

    • 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.
