Hot! get mine back on Tuesday- Wednesday with my Nismo kit done! Can't wait. Painted yourself Ruby? Group buy SAU resprays? :P

f**k no! I gave up spraying other people's cars years ago. Just stuck to doing my own jobs.

Unfortunately, its an acrylic job from a rattle can. I don't have the garage or workshop to do a proper job yet like I use to. But I do have all the spray painting equipment waiting to be used. Good news is that I've bought another house and I'm setting up a garage/workshop in the back yard. Then all my workshop equipment can come out of storage and get used. So in about 3-6 months, the stag gets a proper respray.

But the job at hand is good enough for now. The pics do it alot of justice ... there are a few flaws in the rattle can job.

Ahhhh nice :P

I do believe i saw you pull into villi's on friday night with the kit on but not sprayed? :P Possibly that was you. If not...never mind this post haha.

But i had to leave roundabout then. Otherwise wouldve stayed for a chat and asked if i could take some photos of ya car at some point :banana:

Its black glass guys... we went through regency with our 2 and they told us to "peel the tint off"... when they figured out it was the glass they were like "oh well i guess there's nothing you can do bout that" hehehe

Getting there roo!

The back windows arent tinted, its privacy glass. One of nissans almost good ideas, would have been good if they had of worked something out for the front windows as opposed to glass that only self tints in the sun at about 8%! My front windows on the 260 were that dark when i got the car, when i went through the regency identity check station the guy goes to me, "i think your windows are a bit dark, let me put my light meter on there, when i do the display should say 70 or above....." he puts it on the window and it comes up 14...lol.

Yep that was me. I have no proper facilities at the moment, but I had to do something about the white body kit on the black stag :D

Thanks for the compliments guys :) She'll get a full respray this year sometime when I've moved to the new premises.

As for the tint, I'm happy with it the way it is. At least I'll have some sort of argument with the 'authorities'. If I tint the front glass I won't have an excuse.

    • 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.
