I agree Adelaide's roads are a joke, but dislike it when people blame the roads in the event of a high speed accident. The roads are designed and made, and kept (tho sometimes poorly) for the speed limit posted for that particular road. Of course doing 150kph in a 60 zone 'bumpy' road is going to end in disaster. If the road was the only contributing factor to an accident, then go ahead, blame the road condition. But if high speed, drugs, and stupidity are involved ... its lame to blame the road's minor part in the accident.

However, I do wonder how many minor accidents (multi car or single) have been caused due to poor road care. I know my bike crash last year was due to a crappy road. But I don't whinge about it, these things happen.

South Road, O'Halloran Hill ... Port Road ... Lonsdale Road are good examples of crap roads that are potentially dangerous. Lonsdale Road is so bad, they lowered the speed limit, rather than fix the road. :D

I don't think anyone's blaming the road conditions for high speed/stupid driving accidents, but surely some of the minor incidents have been caused by road conditions.

I broke a RHF strut in a 60 zone because of a pot hole I didn't see!

they just had the minister for road safety on the radio

he thinks having a drag strip is the wrong aproach, as it just encourages hoon behaviour...

he thinks the right approach is counceling, to get the picture accross the cars are not toys, or hobbys..

this prick needs a bullet.

What a twat. Many MILLIONS of people around the world of all ages wouldnt agree.

I reckon he's on the right track though. He went a bit far saying they should NOT been seen as a hobby, but I think he's on the ball with counselling. Single out the people who drive their cars recklessly to show off and show them that their hooby or their toy (their car) is not a harmless thing they can do whatever they want with. Don't try to get rid of their interest in cars, try to get them to respect their hobby/toy as something that could kill them.

If they toned down on the sensationalism when they talk of hoons there is some half reasonable ideas in there.

but if they dont include their 99% of sensationalist bullshit, people like ethel and george wont vote for certain media crazed pollies next election.

by the way, i turn 21 today, so ill probably be in town on the piss tonight, if anyone wants to join in, lemme know.

(yes, i am aware its a monday, yes, i am aware town is usually rather quiet on a monday, no i dont really care)

Yeah, they certainly have the priorities well in order.

Joyous 21st anniversary of vaginal extraction Dave :banana:

Hey guys,

Do any of you know if R34 GTR Injectors will go into a R32GTR fuel rail. I heard something about maybe the wiring plugs being different but I am not sure myself.

Posting in here because I don't think there needs to be another pointless thread

You asked this question only yesterday. If you want to know, ask in the 'performance/modification' section. SAU-SA is a relatively small part of the entire board and the people who know are more likely to frequent the national mechanical threads.

Some interesting posts on the advertiser site about the incident on the wkend/

Noticed a few members on here wrote something.

I thought Id write something myself./

Some educated and for once not one sided write ups were published.

Saw you in there a couple times doh mar.

hear people saying on the radio about crushing cars ect ect, just meanswhen someone does something stupid they people will just run and then probably kill a family or something! so over hearing old people say about hoons when half them cant drive!

Yeah I can't help it... I'm like a dog chasing a car sometimes

    • 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.
