Im a member of Ns.com and SAU, and reside in Victoria. Being an ex adelaide boy, and my girlfriend being one too, we thought for her birthday that we would spend 4 days over there, drive around, see the sites and what not, see what Adelaide has to offer as i remember it being a very quiet subtle town, with none of the melbourne bullshit..

So we had a mad time over in Adelaide until sunday night...

Now all of you Adelaide import owners must know Windy Point look out. well i took the missus up there on her birthday night (sunday night) to show her the site after a really nice dinner at the revolving restaurant down in Glenelg.

As we were coming down the hill, Belair rd, around the big 'U' right by the car park, some idiot in a maroon r32 gtst came screaming around the corner, slide out and nearly hit our car(keep in mind, we had a hire car as we flew in). he had downed a gear coming around the corner, and then skipped across the road and slide out. i veered slightly left to give him some room, and then slammed on the brakes.

There were three idiots on the corner in the carpark; one was a s13 sil, and the other was an old datto.

After the near miss, as i said, slammed on my brakes, and screamed at the driver, and the guys on the hill started to talk shit. my gf got really freaked out by what had happened and didnt help my anger issues..

if you are on here mate, you should hand your licence into the police. i had seen some stupid driving on teh roads in victoria, seen idiots write their lifes off and endangered others.. but what you did that night was utter stupidity. you are not a hero trying to dori a corner or hills run the whole length, your a dick mate.

i honestly hope this is not how all import owners in Adelaide drive these days.. i am not making an oblivious stab at all Adelaide drivers, im merely putting forward the point that if the driver is on here, he should seriously rethink driving ever again...

/end rant.

sorry to post such a topic, but i feel it had to be expressed as to how some dickheads on the road think they are top shit, when really, put them under high pressure hills runs, with the proper suspension package, they wont make it 500m up a hill.

and please dont post shit in here like "if you dont like it, dont come back".. as ive done the whole street drift and hills run and got over it very quickly as to how dangerous it really was..

By all means guys, we had an awesome time.. we love Adelaide and do plan to move back there in the near future!

everything about adelaide is beautiful; from the monarto zoo, to mount lofty/piccadily way, belair and the hills to glenelg, it is all fantastic.. we love everything about adelaide..

i know all adelaide drivers arent like that, and import owners are more intelligent when on the roads, especially on Windy Point, but i was close to giving him a flogging.

appreciate the comments guys!

PS not having a go at all P platers

I will. :) I always get the "you were a p-plate driver once" ... No I wasn't! :laugh:

Write a letter to our minister for transport.... just another reason to hurry the f@*k up and build a new motorsport complex!!!

i have always said in discussions concerning "hoons" that more motorsport complex's should be built. look at victoria; we have Calder and Winton, Winton being the better for drift imho, but is 3 hours out, and Bob Jane became a little bitch and said no more drift events at Calder.. there have been plans made for more motorsport complex's, but nothing has been put into action.

i did my fair share enough that night i reckon; yelled abuse at the driver, yet he didnt say a thing back, looked like a mere 19 year old.. took his rego down, i knew the exact make, color, exterior mods as soon as it happened, and reported it to the police. also reported the three idiots on the hill as well, being their rego, their makes of car and color and any modifications i could see aesthetically. gave the cop a description of the driver as i saw him clearly. apart from all that, yelling abuse and was about to get out of the car and kick the drivers head in, yet i wasnt too sure if it was on purpose or if he took the corner too hard, which in my opinion states he was trying to be a "DK"..

i saw many nice skylines in adelaide, and majority had SAU stickers; i felt right at home as i use to live there and use to own an R32 :P no dickheads on the road from what i could see, and we clocked over 1500km over 3 and a half days..

no offence to p plater drivers in adelaide, but your law is absolute bullshit. you should get your p's at 18, AFTER completing a self driving defence course, and you have to have the marks to pass.. adelaide is on the right track though.

i got my p's about 4 months before i turned 19.. i was a contractor at that point going from job to job and i had to deal with a lot of shit driving and idiots on the road.. over time i learnt how to control a car, and at the same time was dori'ng my r32.. i got the experience on teh street from working and having fun..

law needs to get more stict on adelaide drivers imho.. mainly ppl going for their p's, as this dickhead had no understanding on the control and feel for a car.. scary shit, especially up windy point, at night..

[being an ex adelaide boy, and my girlfriend being one too,

your girlfriend is a ex adelaide boy as well?

you read my whole thread just to make that assumption? wow, maturity right there!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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.
