Hey guys,

Gotta do a service on the s13 (hopefully on the weekend) but i don't have a jack or stands or ramps or anything....

Can someone lend me some? There'd be a 6 pack in it for you.

I'm located in Kellyville

Cheers

Nick

I would reccomend finding or buying some proper stands and jack. having seen the number of people who die from putting the car on bricks, or up on a ramp, or up a gutter etc it's not worth the risk.

from a report on jack related deaths.

"There were 27 incidents identified where a vehicle killed a person who was working under it. Of these 27 persons killed, 20 were carrying out home duties (car repairs) and seven were regarded as being at work."

yeh,i always remember to throw a spare wheel under the jacked up car.

and when on the lawn,place a thick piece of wood under the jack so it don't sink into the ground.

Had a neighbour crushed to death because of a sinking jack.

my head almost got crushed but my m8s fiancees excel. was using the stock jack and ground was a lil uneven. had my head under, heard a lil creaking sound, pulled my head out and watched the jack snap sideways and the car drop. :O not good! so make sure its even aswell.... i know its obvious but still...

Hey mate..

What do you have to service you can slide under the car for the oil and dont need to jack her up. Just get a 8L oil drain and yours set. put down some cardboard tho.

Filter you can do ontop, all the rest of the fluids your fine minus transfluids.

If you jack up a car on grass your an absolute idiot. I did a whole exhaust on a stock jack and a set of 9.5 rims just think before you work. Dont let people be hanging around. saying this i advise car stands or at least ramps

what are you doing mate, just an oil change?

you'll never get a s13 up car ramps so you'll need jack and stands. don't worry about it not being level 99% of the oil ill make it out OK.

where did u get the ramps from?? looking for a low set for my own garage

Hi Mick,

Jo-Ann at Powerplay Imports sells them.

Ever get to notice that you remember numbers/details 'off by heart' when you're trying to chase down orders? LOL

Cheers, Tez

just doin an oil/filter change...and also coolant but that doesn't require it to be jacked up

    • 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.
