OK folks, slang terms for genitalia of any genter are out!

getting back to the subject, bloody defects for bloody shit.

MADGT4, I would definately be checking to see if coppers get their ears calibrated before they go on patrol, just to make certain they can tell the differnence between a car at 89dB and 90dB. Without testing, how in gods name can they fine you for it. Be a bit like saying " I knew you were speeding, cos you have done it before, so have a fine" Man its just bull shit.

HAHA yeah have u been......

Yeah good point tho steve but its been decided that i'm sellin up already and i only owned it for about 5-6months so anyone wanna buy contact me.......

But don't panic ppl still gonna own a nissan and still gonna be turbo, but this thing will be alot less "come defect me" as far as this town goes and i won't be mixed up with me mates 33 that get around doin stupid shit (prob his fault cos his drifts all ova the place)

You talkin to me man or wot? About gettin the defect off?

And plus i'm gonna probably get what i was originally gonna get which is a GTi-R and the cops down here will just think its a hatch back with a zorst so i won't get any trouble.......

I know it sucks but this is like the second time i been done in like 3 months and i was also just told if it happens again then its a (spelling) Statutory Write Off or some shit and i dunno if its true or not so i don't wanna b stuck with no car and shit if u know wot i mean

My mate jase sold his 180 cos he was forever being defected only to buy a relatively crap 280z and got defected again within f**k all time of owning it.

Statutory write off? Err wtf? how can they do that when you're car is deemed road werthy when it goes through Reemgency?

Sorry MADGT4, i was talkin to Hippy before, but what i was gonna say to him may help u.

When my car got defected, i found a place that "hires" out parts for a few days. I hired a stock BOV airfilter exhaust wheels for 150 and went to regency. No more defect.

Best 150 ive ever spent hehe. **** those regency wankers and the dickheads that issue defects.

Ok but at the end of the day, we get defected, they're doing their job.. and as are the guys at regency. We all have 2 make livings, some worse then others, and a cop does what he or she does, or they get the sack basically, like all of us at work.

and yea we all know there's good cops and bad cops, but there's nothing we can do about it, havin wankers is part of life.

Even thou it's against what we think, as a group we should accept that this is gonna keep happening, because we dont make the rules that say what we are and aren't allowed to do.

We take the risk when we modify our cars, but bitch about it when we get done? Whats the go there?? We modify our cars, knowing that the more work we do to our rides, the bigger targets we become, yet we keep modifying them, keep getting defected, and keep complaining? go figure

Im not havin a go at anyone for what they think about regency, or cops, cos i think the same as everyone else here.

I know that when i go out i'm more likely to be targetted for having the car i have and doing the things i do then most of the other drivers on the road, but, thats hte choice I made, when i bought my car, and did the mods i have done, so I have 2 live with it.

As much as we hate being defected (and no offence to MADGT4 what so ever here mate) I think we need to realise that it's not gonna end, and we have 2 stop bitchn about it.

well sometimes i hate reading things like "not cops are all bad" and the ... "well thats a good cop story" ... when u haven't done anything wrong and they stopped u ... i mean if they were a good cop who geniunely was interested in doing good cop stuff ... good cops will know the laws they are enforcing ... not bring up some bs about ... i think its too loud so i will defect u .. or ... just a routine check to check that your car is safe ... i mean we have lives too and time costs money for some people ... why should we waste our time on that crap ... if u were doing something wrong like road racing then sure stop the driver and get them for whatever... but not an innocent car enthusiast like madgt4 ... seems like nice guy ;) *wink* *wink* :D

    • 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.
