Many of my relatives have served this country in both World Wars, a few of whom paid the ultimate sacrifice and were burried where they fell in battle. Anzac day has always been a special day for me to reflect on their commitment and bravery. This year Stacey and I will be travelling down to attend the dawn service at the war memorial in Canberra. Would like to see if anyone would be keen to attend and have a few beers/breakfast afterwards. Any takers?

Fo shizzle yo, ill be at the service and im keen to reinact my Sydney ANZAC day from 2005 (Sydney goes off on ANZAC day). though I dont thinkn ill drink for 24 hours straight this time.

Im all for drinking and running amok but i get really shitty at the people who see this day as a piss up and gamble affair without at least attending one of the services during the day.

where we gonna meet up??

You know that I will be there with the missus Paul, Jayce and Erica will come too Im sure... Dont ask me to go to the dawn service though... Even though I am forever greatful for the life that all Aussie's live thanks to our diggers sacrifices, I am NOT a morning person and you dont want to know me that early in the morning. :D

There is a great spot in Kingston where you can get excellent coffee and breakfast its called Green Square, we should meet there.

Either am i...i just dont go to bed...you have seen that all before :banana:

You went to bed at Final Battle didnt you? Even if it was at 6:00am :(

:blink: You have a missus called Paul?

Thats a bit like "I helped my Uncle Jack off a horse" its all about the grammar LOL

LOL, youre right I have a missus called Paul, (thats my pet name for her) guess who plays the male role in the relationship :(

I'm a dawn service guy through and through; of course me & E are there! For those that haven't done a dawn service, do yourself a favour. We all take this country for granted a little too much, and my family has fought for it in wars past. So, suck it up for one day in the year (Mick may be excuses...he REALLY isn't a morning person and SHOULD attend the 10 a.m. service instead); see you there. Or not, as it will be DARK.

I say we gather afterwards at Green Square, Kingston, for some brekky...

good to hear there wil lbe some people attending,

i had always attended the dawn service back home in geelong at point danger down in torquay (bells beach for the surfers out there). they are a truelly moving experience, every year theres a poam that just rips me to shreads with the last few words. but this year will be different. it will be my first ANZAC day 4am wake up, away from geelong, and this time i have the honour of saying i am a fresh face to the family of those air force members before me and remember them in solace, then party hard for the australia that they help shape. lest we forget

my two cents

yeah but then you'll all step aside and pretend you don't know me and leave me all alone being a blubbering mess LOL

Where are we meeting for the dawn service? Brekky at Green Square is a great idea, we used to have a Managers meeting there every week @ 7am and the brekkies & coffee were terrific.

We lost our Uncle in Beersheba (1st Light Horseman) and Dad served in WW2 - I'd love to go, but know I will bawl my eyes out. I get teary just thinking about it... I'm almost a bigger girl than Mick.

You may be taking things a bit far here Michele, theres no way possible that could ever happen.

Kingston sounds good. Dont forget there are plenty of buses starting early to take you to the service if you are planning to drink afterwards. We dont want to add to the Skyline driver fatality statistics now do we.

    • 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.
