Hello Fellas. The warmer weather has me preparing the car for a splash of renewed colour... and the Nissan boys certainly stretched their imagination with my colour being :"Blue silver effect!" Well I like the colour anyway :-)

But I have been looking at the rubber seals at the top of the windows. The rubber coated steel has had the rubber peel away (aged in the sun) and its about the only thing I cant rejuvinate. Where do I get this from... (Nissan OZ?)

Cheers

Brett

Im guessng the only way to fix it to go see nissan australia and hand over your liver but if someone else knows some other way to do it i would definitly be interested. Need to fix mine as well.

hey are you talking about to out side? and at the top of the front window? mine are pretty bad and i had a guy come in to install my rear window with a new seal for $110.00 then i showed him the front of the car and he said that i didnt need to spend 150 to get the window taken out and replaced with a new seal all i needed to do was call him and he would cut the top part out and fill it up with this black stuff they use to seal the windows and he will smooth it out for me and make it look new.

OK fellas, Ill hunt up some prices/strategies. Im looking to remove the stianless inner part of the rubber and see if there is a way to recoat it or slide it inside some other moulding.

Ill keep the forum posted

Cheers

Hi King, I think we have our wires crossed, I actually mean the winding windows. There is a stainless strip with a thin rubber cover on it. Its probably possible to just paint it, but Ill have a closer look this weekend, remove it and see what work is required. But it pisses me off as the rest of the car interior is pretty much mint (Im a fussy old barstard), and this strip samcks me in the back of the eyeball every time I get in the car.

Cheers

Brett

    • 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.
