Yes that is right, it is strange, I would have assumed that if the air came in the front it would naturally flow right out the back but it won't. I remember driving along and putting my hand out to feel the hot air being forced out the back of the bonnet...there wasn't any ?

I`d would`ve liked to have seen that... were you in the drivers seat?:P

On the skylines, the most helpful place to have any sort of heat extraction would be just above the radiator fan or maybe a little bit further back than that.. sort of like between cyliners 5 and 6..

actually, that is probably about where BOOSTMEISTER said..

The raised bonnet may look good but it is infact illegal in Australia. The reason it is illegal is because if ur involved in an accident the bonnet will slide backwards smashing the windscreen and killing ne1 travelling in the car. So its a nice look but does it improve the look of the car enough to risk being killed from a minor accident??

Why would it slide back? It is still mounted in the same way, make no mistake, that piece of black plastic at the base of the windscreen will not save you?

If you are going that high then do a extraction scoop behind the radiator or build a heat shield around the exhaust housing that extends up to the bonnet and seal it to the bonnet and cut a hole in the bonnet to allow hot air to escape that way, if done right it should look good.

The base of the windscreen is a high pressure area. Check out some old US "muscle" cars and you'll see some neat designs with air intakes, some used a reversed scoop that fed air to the carbs from the base of the windscreen.

Yeah i always wondered why walky's had the inlet at the back of the bonnet scoop. Kool now i know.

A few other cars have it as well before the walky did, and there was a serious amount of time and $$ spent on that bodykit design, its still supposed to be an extremely effective bodykit even compared to the v8 supercars of now.

It's called Cowl Induction.....I'm prety sure the NASCARs still use it

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      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.
