I think most of the issues present themselves when you upgrade from girlfriend 3.0 to wife 1.0.

This is likely...

Solution: marry car enthusiast, wedding present = car stuff you both enjoy :)

  • 1 month later...

I screwed up big time the other day. A package arrived (a better battery charger/tenderer for my car) and my wife wanted to know where to put it. 

Me: "oh just put it with all the rest in the office". 

Her: "the rest?"

Me, in my head: "oh shit".

She goes and puts the charger on the pile of parts, i've been collecting for a few months, goes back through the credit card, advises me, "you've spent almost $1000 on car parts lately. Haven't you spent enough on that car already?"

So there is a temporary ban on me buying car parts right now... no one to blame but myself. "with the rest". Sometimes, I am the most stupid human on the earth! :(

She does not like it when it comes on full boost, but it helps reduce the amount of talking and it's a great distraction ?

Then there's the usual, didn't you fill up only yesterday?" " I feel like you love the car more than me", etc etc

To avoid this, I have a bank account and credit card she doesn't have access to. I originally had this account linked to PayPal so it would be separated from our other accounts. She complains when she sees too many packages arrive, I explain that I got an unbelievable deal and what a score it was. I sometimes offer to show her the account with the least spending on it. Rarely happens. The bank account gets topped up from old car parts and things around the house I decide to sell but I usually pay the card off bit buy bit from our every day account. The money in the separate account then gets used for large purchases that she would complain about, like tyres, turbo upgrades, tuning etc. Every now and then I surprise order her a package of something she would like to keep her happy, kind of anyway. Have been getting away with it for a while now[emoji6]

Always telling me that I have wasted my $$$$...."You can only go 100km/h anyway".

Then when we come up behind a slow moving vehicle or a few of them and we go out and around them......"Bet the other cars wish they could do that"

I can't win!!!!.....I was never meant to!!!!

Story of my life. 

Except when i decide to chill behind someone doing 110, she questions why i havent overtaken them yet because "this car can do it easily"

    • 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.
