Hey guys.

Baught something from America on the 26/2/09 - A suit :banana: It's 1500AU and this american store sells them for 500AU including postage.

Getting frisky about it - So I'm keen to know if anyone here in QLD has baught anything from the U.S and how long did it take?

It's coming as USPS - Priority air mail

Yep, two weeks sounds like the most common number.

If thats the case - hopefully I receive my suit before the end of this week! :) Can't wait hehe.

It's just a tad worrying when you don't get a receipt number or tracking number (usps prio air mail doesn't offer it).

I would be happy if I just knew that USPS received the package and are doing their thing...

you have sent it US POST. that may vary between 2-3 weeks depending on weight. if it was air mail then 8-10 days is the norm- where was it coming from?

also make sure you dont get nailed by customs on it. that $1000 saving could turn out costly. I'm still battling that side of things with a package Ex japan right now.

The package is coming from Florida as USPS (The equiv to our auspost).

It is coming as Priority Airmail (Which is their standard airmail) and its been 9 working days now. Ordered on 26th Feb.

Customs says anything that cost you under 1000$AU is basically a free pass in here - Unless they have all the dirty tricks up their sleaves still.

I didn't do too much research into this besides a quick scan of the customs rules.

Yeah, that's pretty much spot on. for those who are interseted:

It'll be posted in Florida. that night it'll probably be sorted, send off to an airport. 1 day. They usually let stuff sit for a few days. 3-4 days. After that, it'll probably be flown to a major parcel facility in the US, 4-5 days, where it'll be put with other Australian bound stuff, and put on the next plane with room. 6-8 days. Once it gets here, customs will have a look at it, that's a few more days, 9-11 days. Then it'll be flown to Brisbane's parcel facility, 10-12 days, then put with the rest of the local parcels and delivered, 12-14 days.

    • 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.
