Very nice shade, congrats. I really like the way you have kept the mods clean, as i too hate "fully sic" mods. Where did you get the paint done if you dont mind me asking?

It was done at S&K panels in campbellfield. and was VERY cheap. $1750 and that was using Sikkens paint.

this included repairing 2 major dints and dozens of pin dents. the quality of the paint is fantastic but there were some things i was not happy with,

1. they put my door lock actuator rods in backwards so when the window went up or down it fouled on the rod and went CLUNK...

2. they left the windows of the car down during the whole process and the car was FILTHY inside when i got it back...

3. one of my door trims was marked...

but i the paint is fantastic. just their assembly was a bit rough. cant complain for that price seeming as the paint alone was over $600 and it only took 3 weeks from drop off to pickup.

Thanks for the info and the heads up. That sounds really cheap, even including the incidentals you mentioned ! I might check them out.

well this has all gone to s**t, the car turned out not being able to import so i',m back to looking, pretty sure i found one thats white so i wont be changing the colour for now.

What stopped it from being imported??

Damage/rust or something else??

Very nice. Make me want to strip mine back and paint it again..... :)

it was to do with the date it was made, goes by chasis numbers or something as well, apprently out by 2 numbers or something

Edited by nvsA4

pretty much the guy in japan told the guy i'm going through it was all good but yer it was 2 numbers off :down: if it was bulit a few hours later i would have it by now, Me and the guy im going through arent out of pocket any money so i guess i'll just have to wait again

    • 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.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
