hate that shit! on the first cruise i only met a few guys! but most people were like look at me and i look back and they turn and go a different direction! what's wrong? do i really look that dodgey?

anyway Pete! as for you, you're big and was wearing a harley davison tshirt and rocked up in a mint chopper just spelt bikie to me! not insulting you in anyway but it was just my ignorant judgement but it still didn't stop me from saying gday

No harm done Son.....it's all good :domokun:

That's sad, going to a meet where every one stands around and nobody actually meets.

Sadly I think it's a side effect of the playstation generation, when I was young we all played in the streets or parks and knew every kid in the estate. It was a very social upbringing, with the generations coming through today a lot of them don't have the social skills.. reason being social skill are learnt through social interaction and become natural/comfortable over time. You don't get it free in the ps3 bundle, p.c or sitting alone in a room chatting online. As you've seen first hand, throw them in a social situation and they'll all just mill around until something happens....which seldom does.

We've bred a generation of malformed/unadjusted nublets.

Offer you're hand to shake and they'll take it as some sort of adversarial test.

Don't get me wrong there are a lot of good-social younger people, they seem to be the ones who's parent/s actually had a go at parenting instead of leaving it up to the TV/ps3.

Very good & insightfull post. :O

the only crook is you robbing yourself of a social life :domokun: shoot em all sled and let god sort em out :O

next sau group activity, communications course :O

im full of good advice it just comes with a warning to not be taken seriously

I talk to pretty much anyone at the meets - hey i wouldnt have made so many friends off of here if i didnt just start talking randomly to people. I tend to just go up and ask who they are, what their username is. I did see your car last night, first time iver ever seen it, I had no idea who you were, otherwise i wouldve said hi!

Come say hi next time, i wont bite or ignore ya :)

I saw ya there but at the time I was talking to a dude from Unley Nissan about his GTR and then you were deep in convo. Then the cruise started heh.

I think dans hit the nail on the head, bbq and the footy might be the go, I can't play football for shite but I can apply flame to meat with the skill of a samurai.

-D

hotwire is that the titanic breaking the ice and then going down :)

yeah if there's enough interest we could plan something. somewhere with soccer (football depending on your nationality) basketball or skating (id prefer the last 2 :) but im easy) or whatever people wanna play maybe could hold a vote.

Hrm... do u know of any reserves in the hills that'd suit? somewhere with enuff parking?

I vote we play mugby. haha...

-d

yeah i understand where ur coming from. i try to meet at least 2 new people every time and have a decent convo. yeh damo bring out the name tags again. im sure over time everyone well get to know each other. i think there are alot of new members as of late makes it tricky.

(***edit**) usually day or night events that dont involve much driving and more... interaction help. like the sau dinner recently was pretty chilled. i recon paintball :) nothing like shooting each other then having a laugh and a chin wag after. also go carting would be sweet.

sounds like an outdoor lan :) with human interaction

this thread cracked me up, i thought the same thing when i first rocked up to a cruise, but then steve and cubes started chatting to me, and it was all good.... I'm a proud member of the playstation generation, but i find in situations like that i always try n go by myself... can be a bit unnerving but ur more likely to meet ppl cos u dont have a mate as a security blanket :P

when i next get off my lazy ass to come to a cruise/meet i'll be saying hi to everyone :D

I tend to be a bit shy on cruises and don't go out of my way to talk to people, I usually go with a mate so I don't have to :P

Having said that I'm always down for a good chinwag and if someone was to come up and say g'day they always get a friendly g'day and a handshake in return :)

One day I might register my skyline and attend a cruise :D

hey dohmar sorry i didn't chat was kinda preoccupied as per the pm i sent you!

that was the 2nd meet i have been to and so far you are the only person that has spoken to me so thanks alot for that :woot: hope to chat more next time!

i agree with andrew as well, i'm shy as and thats y i always take a friend too hehe

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • 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.
