Regency needs demolishing - I just got failed with my Cedric because....wait for it....no English owner's manual...

Is it an ADR requirement?

If not Lawyer up, and since you were going to use it as a promational aid for your business on the weekend claim damages as well.

If it is an ADR requirement then half the second hand cars i have bought have been defectable (which i'm sur they would be anyway). I'd also be interedted to know if any of the imports that go through regency would have an english manual, i know my 180 doesn't.

If they start getting claims agains them every time they MAKE UP THEIR OWN RULES then it'll stop, and if it's an open and shut case like i assume this one is it won't cost the car owner as they will win the case.

sigh, had my HID's installed by Ric today, worked awesome, had em on most of the time i was getting around (had to get tyres, wheel alignment, wanky gear knob, stuff to make my car look respectable on sunday), get home mid afternoon, realise id forgotten milk (funny that, never forgotten milk before), jump back out to the car, start it up, pop the headlights on, and bang, only one works.

so i head back to Auto Perfection, get there at about 4:30, just as theyre about to knock off and have another customers car to drop off, Ric checks everything, diagnoses a faulty ballast (swapped the good side to the faulty side and it worked), and spends the next 30 odd minutes undoing the HID install, putting in new halogen globes, and new arctic blue parkers (one of each was blown), and sends me on my way with working headlights.

so yeah, basically, another big +1 to Ric at Auto Perfection.

/shameless plug.

now i just need to send my HID's back to the guy who organised the group buy, and hopefully get a new set...

I had the joys of going to Elizabeth today to get something fixed on my car. I had 3 Facepalm and 1 LOL moments.

The first facepalm came at the Elizabeth Library when some 10 or 11 year olds were using the cumputers behind me. They were looking up porn and clicked on one of those "Get your IQ Now" ads, which they completed. Then a message came up asking them to enter their phone number. Being a good citizen I told them that it was a scam, and they shouldn't enter their numbers because it would wipe their credit off. They replied "Oh, we're not entering our number, we're putting in our mum's". Facepalm.

Then the second facepalm came when I went to the food court for some KFC. Why does every second kid have partially bleached 80s style/Bon Jovi haircuts? Facepalm.

On the way home then I saw a fulli hektik SS Ute with the plates "TOA". My guess was "Tired on Arrival"? LOL Moment.

Then later there was a commodore with flame stickers on the bonnet and side. Facepalm.

its elizabeth. i hope none of that actually surprised you.

he may be trying to get the car complied... in which case there are a whole lot more hurdles you need to jump threw, 1 of them being and english owners manual

I've checked SIEVS and DoTARS and I cant find anything regarding the need to have a car manual, let alone an english one

-D

hey guys just wondering if any one can help me out

i received a message in my hotmail inbox saying "nuzgirba has sent you a new personal message titled "Important".and to retrieve the message go to skylinesaustralia, so i went there and the message in my in box say "important" but the member "nuzgirba" has been deleted

    • 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.
