yeah, im starting to get pretty disheartened about it all really. :)

as of today is been 4 weeks since its moved (and has cost me over $400 in loan payments and insurance for the privilege, and the parts on top of that). im about 3 seconds away from taking to it with 10 litres of petrol and a match.

ive called andrew and left a message, im having trouble seeing how 3 components designed to fit an s14 dont work together. its doing my head in.

i shouldve just used the gktech gear. wouldve been back on the road over a week ago if i had.

Push it in, make it fit. push the catback out as hard as you can?

tried that. even with the catback pulled back as far as it'll go (with ZERO play left in the hangers) the gap is still about 5mm too small fit the bastard in. add another couple mm for gaskets and yeah, shit just aint gonna fit.

PLEASE dont take it to AAA Andrew is @ supercup today and will be more than happy to help sort your shit out

BUT sounds like the apexi is whats giving you grief, how is the factory cat 30mm too long :blink: i would of though the factory cat should be the right length

yeah, i left a message on his phone. figured he'd be at dsc. both cats are the same size (factory is a couple mm larger than the xforce one), both fit fine with factory dump and front, neither fit with the AM pipe fitted, the gap between the rear flange on the front pipe and the front flange on the apexi is 30mm too short, which makes me think the front pipe is 30mm too long.

ah well yeah wait till he can sort you out becuase you've paid for his work and now he wont rest until its sorted but if you take it somewhere else and they butcher it then you need to take it back how bad will that be

yeah, i just feel like a bit of an asshole taking it back, ive already had to take it back once eh...

    • 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.
