In this months - issue 12- ASM they have the rundown of MAS.

There are some pics of our girls... and yep - MzDefected is there :D Only Leon's car (WHYW-8) is pictured. We are mentioned as prize winners and there is a 1-para about the dyno comp 'controversy' with a small pic of the BLKJET supra.

So - worth a lookie at the newsagent, but that's about it :)

ive never bothered to purchase that tripe or even look at it but do they have an editorial type section where u can write in?

might endeavour to to put together something and send it on in :D

Yeah - so did I :)

Those chumps. Maybe if I had a dinosaur playing on a chrome PSX airbrushed on the side with neons - I might have stood a chance. That and a Ralliart sticker on the back :D

I was bored yesterday and bought the mag. If it's not against copywrite laws, I'll scan the MAS article with photos of our lovely ladies and post it.

Controversy, pffft. Who needs it. Let the times tell which car is better I say. Dyno figures are BS anyway.

They told me that I'd get a photo in there too :D Ah well, as James said, unless you have a $10k paint job and more chrome than a Terminator, you won't make it, even if you did win 3 trophies...

yay saw the mag last week...was going to post something up about it but was to lazy....oh well....Once again a big thumbs up for all the girls/boys/helpers that did thier part at the autosalon, because of them it was the success that it was. Cheers Rob

Actually - someone's letter (R31SkylineChick?) is in there promoting us and the R31 club.

So they're not all bad :)

Yeah that was me. :D

Wow I'm famous :D

I wrote that letter because in the magazine that they gave us with our entry money, there was someone asking for information on Skyline clubs, and the editor (or whoever answers the mail) had refered the person to MCCR.

I mean... PUHLEASE!!!!!!!!!! ;)

So I emailed them and set them straight. :D

I never heard back from them so I kinda forgot about it....

But maybe that will get us a few new members too. :)

hopefully next calder :D

But yer... MCCR for skylines?

mmm... editors wouldn't be bias or anything would they?

shows how much they know aobut clubs and the whole 'car scene' :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.
