Hey mate,

You paid for yours just over 2 weeks ago yeh? They should be ready in a few weeks. Be patient, because believe me.....the results are worth it!!

Psymon and the other guy that wanted these...

email me at [email protected] and I'll see what I can do.

Thanks guys.....glad there are a few more happy drivers out there

Hey get your guys to send in some pics of the final job. Once again as you say if it's all mickey mouse i'd love to jump on the next GB

received mine today, look good so far, only one thing they forgot to emboss the logo on the back seats, never mind though. Will have a go at installing this weekend and will take some pics. hey zimmi you have any instructions? or anyone have any advice,tips would be great

Did you guys push any threads through the seat to get a tight fit, or are the covers just slipped over the seats? I know someone has used spray-on adhesive to install them before, what i'm trying to work out is if they are removable or not.

I used most of the supplied strings through the seats and added some extra ones where it needed it. You can probably get away with just slipping them over because they are very tight fitting, but it wont look as good where the sunken contours are. At least if you use the strings you can always take the covers off later on and return to stock seats. I would not have bought these if they required adhesive.

So the strings go through the seats, or around them? Thanks

poked through the foam and then tied to other strings poked through or to anything else that looks solid at the back of the seat structure.

Thanks for the pic Mark, do you think if you took the covers off, you'd see the holes?

What about on the front seats - i cant see how it'd be possible to thread a hole through the seat - how do they fit?

Depends how and where you poke the string through. Most strings will go through at a seam in the seat so if the string comes out I dont think you will see the hole. I bought a big needle which was about 10cm long and used that to thread the string through. I tried poking the needle through the seat all the way through and out to check if a hole would be noticeable and it wasn't. At times I had to remove the string and the hole was not noticeable at all. The original material seems to be fairly elastic.

As for the front seats, I have a GTR so the original cover on the back of the seat can be unzipped to reveal the backing foam. The new seat covers are similar with zips at the back so you can put the cover over the old seat while still being able to thread the string through from the front. I then poked the string through the front of the seat through to the back and tied the strings together (since there is nothing else to tie them to). I then zipped up the original seat cover which hides the tied up strings then zip up the new cover to hide the old cover.

Damn it... i missed the GB. Whens the next one happening? i wanna get some for my car.

have money waiting so feel free to do one soon lol. cant wait.

    • 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.
