Hey everyone i have recently moved to Biggera Waters on the gold coast. Just got a few questions.

1. Has anyone transferred NSW rego over to QLD? im curious as to the price procedure in getting a car registered in this state? My rego runs out 18th of next month so would it be easier to just register it as a new car after it expires? If no one knows much about this ill just ring QT but im online now so i thought id post the question.

2. Could anyone reccomend a good panel beater/ painter in the goldcoast area where they have had work done, my first day here my car was reversed into in a car park which really sucked.

3. IS anyone or does anyone know someone in the gold coast area know of a person looking for a non turbo skyline? Since moving to QLD i have gained my open license due to the different laws and am looking to upgrade to a turbo car.

Thanks in advance for any info that people can provide.

Hey mate,

1) would recommend just transferring rego, as it's a little easier. If you register as a new car, transport people sometimes come on look over the car, etc.

To transfer rego, you just basically have to get a RWC, go to a department of transport and transfer rego.

Registering as a new car, you have to get rwc as well, go to dept of transport, but they may want to check over your car. only difference

2) no idea about gold coast pannel beaters, sorry

3) chuck your n/a skyline up for sale. should get a few looks due to the new laws, and they seem to be keeping their prices really well.

you will have to check with the shop whether they can do a rwc. not all shops do it

it's a semi comprehensive check of the car. the basics, tyres, electrics, lights, brakes etc. there are a few places in bris that i could recommend, but not really familiar with coast mechanics.

Hey m8 if your looking for a good panel beater / spray shop down the southern end of the gold coast check out Currrumbin Paint and Panel they have won many awards for the paint jobs and i used to work for them would have to rate them as one of the best on the gold coast

for panel shops nearby biggera waters try wells smash repairs on brisbane rd labrador, otherwise viper smash repairs, also on brisbane rd labrador, unsure of numbers or exact addys, but both are listed under those names in the white pages, hope that helps

for reasonable price an good quality work viper would prob be best value :P

otherwise if its fibreglassin work bein required, shoot us a pm my housemate does minor jobs, has just finished doin a repair job on a VN commodore Group A bodykit, front rear an spolier ;)

    • 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.
