MAN THIS JUST PISSES ME OFF!!!

I had to work so hard and save sooo long for a car i really wanted, not to mention convince my wife to let me sell her car and spend our money to buy this one, just for some low life junkie to steal it go for a joyride and smash it!

This was our only car, so now i have to catch public transport everywhere untill i get another car!

I wouldn't care so much that they stole it but did they have to right it off!?

Yes i'm insured but the pay-out isn't worth what the car is to me... and its such a crap system that the payout won't be enough for me to get another skyline unless someone wants to sell me their's for under 7grand... See why i'm so annoyed right now?

THIS SUX!!!!!

Thanks SAU for letting me vent.

That sucks buddy, had a theft attempt on my car so I feel your pain. And yes, the assholes who did it never got caught and the police didn't give two shits when I reported it. Sucks but that's the way it is. Did you have an alarm of any sorts?

Bastards !!!

May the gods strike their daughters down with a pox.

Well said!

Yeh they got past everything!

I even had it parked under a serveilance camera in a supposed 'secure' car park!

The prix are on camera driving off with my car!

And i had the same experience, the cops didn't care, i gave them a really detailed description of it (obvious stickers, style of rims, ect) when it went missing but all they wrote down and radio'd through was 'silver nissan skyline and my rego'... and comlained 'that their coming out was wasting their time, that i should of just reported it over the phone'... like i know what to do? i've never had my car stolen...

Is the wreck worth buying back from the insurance company?

You might be able to gain some $$ back if it's got parts worth wrecking/mods ect..

It might help you part way towards a good car again, depending on whats left ofcourse.

Yeh so far thats what it looks like i have to do.. i'm still waiting on the insurance company to get back to me to see more exactly what my options are..

Its not just the insurance stuff. Its just the weeks of headache we have to go through of getting to work, trying to do grocery shopping ect... we wanted to see my sis's new born baby but couldn't beacause we had no way of gettin there... Thanks Mr Thief!!

7k sounds wrong to me, was it previously damaged or something.

any ways that sucks man, hope u get another one soon dude

i hope the junkiy flamin mongrel die in a very painful manner for what thewy have done to a fellow sau er

cheers

    • 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.
