i was sitting at home the other day minding my own business makeing sure the remote control for the tv stayed warm when my long time girlfriend and soon to be wife came home to find me where she left me. she mentioned that i needed a hobby to keep me busy on my days off, using my powers of translation i took this as gospel that if i did not clean out the garage i could stay on the couch just as long as i wanted. you're right darling i will get on to that right now (my show was over anyway). plus it was only a few boxes and she was just getting dinner started. cleaning the garage i soon noticed alot of my old car magazines, an article in one of them had a special on skylines and various modifications you could do, hmmmm i wonder. keeping that mag and chucking the rest i finished the clean up had my dinner and went to my office (dunny).

now i know she told me i needed a hobby, but she didnt say what kind of hobby i should take up....however my powers of translation was telling me that she said 'honey i would really love you even more if you did an engine conversion on your skyline and upped the power lots and lots.'

So the next day i did as i was told, i went to gun performance and paid for an rb30 series two engine and a new ecu, i am still looking for a turbo and better engine internals to cope with the added power but i am sure as a hobby this is what she wanted me to be doing. it should keep my hands busy and out of her hair for a little while anyway.

now all i have to do is figure out how to explain the missing car....

now where was i...oh yeah i wont be needing the whole rb30 series two engine or parts of my rb25 gtst engine so if your interested talk to jason at gun performance his web site is

cheers.

LOL! Dude, you are either going to get hardcore axed, or live very happily ever after!

Either way, go spend a heap on an R/C helicopter. She'll go nuts running around the house trying to stop you breaking everything with it and won't even notice the car gone!

she's apples mate my mrs is a bit of a rev head herself, some of her family is involved in dragsters so i know she likes hi-po cars. i might have to take her to indy this year to help cover up the missing car though....

    • 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.
