i have Apexi spec 2000 coilovers on the car, it seems they rattle as i go over little bumps in the road, or atleast i am assuming it is the coilovers that are rattleing on the rear, its on a R34 gtt, would there be anything else that would cause a rattle sound?

the wheel bearing and arms etc seem to be in good working order.

It will be the springs rattling my Teins do the same in my 34. It is because at the top they sit flat against the top cap without any rubber and even if you have what they call a keeper spring to try keep pressure to stop the rattle they still seem to do it well mine do anyway specially in the rear as there is less weight on them. I was thinking of making up some rubber rings and putting it in there to stop it just havnt gotten around to it. If you find a better way by all means let me know cheers.

Ditto to going crazy with rattle from the rear of R34 gtt. I've got HKS coil overs. I've even taken my gtt to fulcrum suspension with $1000+ in hand asking them to stop the rattle. 1 hour latter the response was "your suspension looks good" ggggrrrrrrr. No money spent but still a rattle.

It's embarrassing to have passengers. Currently only solution is to play stereo louder.

ok, not regarding rattle, but how the f**k do i adjust the height on these!?

i can get all 3 rings loose, can push the 2 top ones up and down to preload the spring. but i cant get the cylinder with thread to budge, i assume that it would spin into the bottom bit thats mounted to the chassis?

    • 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.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
