Your ride height is far from low

if i had stiffer suspension it wouldnt bottom out.

these bilstiens, while being hard compared to std shocks, are spongy

writeoff can attest that when i was going to moonta last year, we'd hit a dip and my entire exhaust would bottom out on the tarmac and shoot a tonne of sparks, so much so that it ripped apart one of the welds on my muffler

its not about how low it is, its about how the ride height interacts with the suspension - i'd be fine if I had totally stiff suspension but thats not the case

-D

Need coilovers

would be nice, but i need something thats street legal - got any tips on something that

a) rides nice on the street

b) is legal (or can be engineered)

c) is firm enough to handle well

d) doesnt bottom out

I got bilsteins atm but theyre the basic version (and probably getting long in the tooth)

If it wasn't an issue of legality I'd just buy the ISC coilovers and be done with it

-D

*plugs antenna back in*

Safe to assume an 02 sensor shouldn't be doing that an its probably farked?

/noob

Thanks!

Well actually yes that's what a narrow band O2 sensor will do when the engine is in closed loop mode. If you look at the voltage output from a narrow band sensor there is a big difference in the voltage between 14.6 and 14.8 and all the ECU does is aim above till it gets a low voltage and then aims below until it get's a high voltage, so by constantly going above and below it averages 14.7 which what we are looking for.

Just buy my Teins man, awesome awesome handeling, ride height was fine and never bottomed out on anything, legal, and is easily streetable - Ticks for every box :laugh:.

Like I said I'm in no rush to get them out of my garage and your more then welcome to put them in to see if they're what you want :(.

hey Dave i hear your car is looking heaps good now

can you pm me some pics ? :3

lol. its looking fully reasonable.

havent had a chance to take any pics yet though (only got it done yesterday), but ill be out taking a few snaps tomorrow night. so stay tuned.

awesome, my mate saw you drivin the other day , i look forward to seeing images! :ermm:

ahh brew ur twisting my arm eh brew

ok, are they off your car? I might see if my mechanic can fit it next week for me to test - I'll take it to and from loxton with your permission

-D

manage to find all my stock parts for my suspension. Hopefully i can get it cleared by the end of next week.

Main thing im worried about are the gauges, and fitting up a brake light to the rear window.

Yeah they're from my car man.

I don't see a problem with you taking them to and from Loxton, I'm sure someone has some details about you incase you do a runner - LMAO

*points to trader rating*

and sled knows where i live haha

can I ask what steering wheel you had and what reason theyve given for it being illegal?

I have a rear window brakelight out of a 32-R that you can borrow if need be. Ive been too lazy to put it in mine. Only need power and double sided foam to make it work.

    • 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.
