LOL at cutlery unification .... at the long-gone "Fairview Park Chinese" shop the old Chinese lady used to always ask when she presented your takeaway meal "You want spork"? And they were sporks too.

Me. I had Pete from PLMS do a quick road tune of my car once he installed the nistune daughterboard. Was good enough to drive home safely but he was quick to stress that a road tune is no substitute for a proper dyno tune

-D

actually a road tune with proper wide band sensor is better than a dyno tune but you have to be able to load the car up

Must be the day for old ladies to occupy all tellers at the bank :)

Another thing I hate ...

When you approach a red light, your lane is free, then a car from the other lane (with multiple cars) at the last minute moves across to get in front of you at the front of the lights. Then when the light goes green, they're the slowest car at the intersection. Why the f**k do they position themselves to pass the car in front of them, then proceed to not pass anything when they have a green light. ;)

And my vote also goes to the f**kwads who drive 60 in a 70 zone (or 50 in a 60), then just as you're about to pass them in another lane, they move over into your lane without indicating. :)

Happens on a daily basis Ruby. I had a moron flash his high beams and lean on the horn at me because I was doing 60 in a 60 zone and changed lanes in front of him while easily 2-3 car lengths in front of him. And he was in the right lane doing a max of 50.

Nearly every morning on the Port River Expressway there's someone doing 70-80 in the 90 zone and yes usually they're also in the right lane. Pretty sure a car got pulled over this afternoon doing about 60 in the 90 zone. Then there's those that change lanes without indicating, slow down at intersections (maybe waiting for a red light...?), those that speed up on yellow signals and run red lights, those that can't drive straight in their own lane and wander into both lanes, use the 3rd lane (the ones that merge into 2) at some intersections and then go slow enough to have to stop and allow traffic to their right pass..... and all because here in Adelaide there's too many fktards allowed on our roads. I could go on....

    • 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.
