melbourne trading post are ****s...


Recommended Posts

I just thought i'd share that..

I put my damn car in there.. so i think, ok, i'm not going to write 50 pages on my car and pay $2000 for the ad, so i'll just put the basics and put the link to the website i created with everything a person would need to know.. i think, ok, that will work nicely.. person goes to the site before having to hassle me over the phone with pointless questions. So lo and behold, in their wiseness they've decided to take the URL out *without damn telling me*

****ing get with the times, farkin losers..

who the **** wants to look at some shitty 2cm photo in some ****ing shitty paper that you can't really see shit about the car??! when a one word URL can put as many damn photos and info as you like in a proper form. Trying to hold on to old fashioned printed values, and trying to screw a person out of a more effective method of trying to sell their car is just stupid if you ask me.

And not only that its not at all specified in their stupid "terms and conditions". Bastards!

thank **** i didn't do a "prepaid" ad

/RANT OVER

They are trying to make you keep the car bitch!

Maybe :D .. those QLD roads are calling "skyline...skyline... skyline" I know. I think i also hear it whispering "2530.. 2530..2530" for some reason? :D

thanx mick.. i know, well i doubt i'll get much interest because i left all the good stuff in the website and its one you have to see to appreciate why its a bit more than other 33 out there, but oh well.. See what happens.

Whats the other places you sell your car these days?

My advice is unique cars mag. I tried all sorts of forums and cheap web sites for 6 months for basically no respose.

Put it in unique cars - 1st week had 15 calls - sold it to best offer 6 days after mag was released (sold interstate too). Was great. Still getting calls now and the next issue is due out next week.

I also bought my Skyline from there too.

yeah you would have - needs to be done 15 days before the mag release date. Website - kinda. All ads in unique cars go on carpoint.com.au web site for a month - the web site advert gets an extended description as well. I used the website to place my add however - but remember to go back an change the option from standard to 1/8 color page which you cant do when you first set up the add. Costs more (about $100 total) but is worth it. I bought a few issues and looked at the ads and descriptions that caught my eye and used those as a basis for my ad.

But yeah - your next opportunity will be for the mag realesed at the end of Nov.

Hope that helps and good luck!

Here it is:

Yup, it had to be in about 2 weeks ago, so i've missed this issue. Doubt i'll be around for 2 months anyhow. I finish work on the 7th :D I'm not even going to be at the same address in a week.

Looking around though at prices, i think its a bit of myth that cars are cheaper in QLD (not skylines anyway), so doesn't really matter either way.

:burnout:

There's a hovercraft for sale in this week's 'Things That Go' - I'm afraid that may take some attention away from the Skyline.

Just thinking about this - would be pretty rad cruising to work. Go along the river, then drive up the boat-ramp at Princess Bridge. Hmmmm

Mind you, attention just diverted to a Skyline - ICEGTR for sale on same page...

When your up, I will take you for some drives that are sensational :)

I been in QLD on off for 5 months and u havent taken me for a drive anywhere bitchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

Doubt gold coast has better race track roads than where i am.

Pred

If u r gonna drive up here u need something with lots of top end for those long 5km straights near where i am, a 2530 just wont cut it!!

hehe.. you could be right there :) Last time i was cruising around up there, brisbane, Sunshine Coast and the twistys, I was driving like a Daihatsu Charade that wouldn't go above 120km/hr! It was like being a caged animal!

Pred is closer to me in melb than you are up there in Cairns Puuuuunnnkkkkassssss :)

The gold coast hinterland has some awsome roads... The locals know ;)

when i sold my supra i used carsales.com.au

its $10 for as long as you like. plus you can upload pictures and it tells you how many people looked at the ad etc.

DO NOT advertise in the Age or Herald Sun definately not worth it.

but as far as trading post goes i have always had positive experiences with them, i even bought my R32 through there!

    • 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.
