AFAIK, Andrew is a sub-contractor. Meaning he has to pay his own super, his own tax, his own sick leave, holidays, etc. If so that $1200 gets less attractive quickly

Even so, for a full week that's good money :domokun:

I did intend that to come across as a light hearted jab to Andrew, hardly being serious.

We all live within our means so earning less to what you normally do will hurt whatever budget your usual to

I wasn't having a dig at ya, just saying :domokun: It would be all well and good me telling you I earn $2500 a week, but if I'm a subbie, I have costs that come out of that $2500 so the take home is a lot less...

As you said, we live within our means, having your pay cut usually does help. Andrew is lucky his missus works too :D

Yeah Luke is dead right .... for a start I have to give 1/11th of that money back to the Govt as GST, then I pay $10k a year PI Insurance, not to mention run a company, car, phone, computers etc .... but hey, I know it will get busy again when the market heats back up, so at the moment I get to have some family time (went to the Gorge Wildlife park today for 4 hours with the wife and 2 year old) .... and when work gets busy again I go back to 18 hour days like I was doing a couple of years ago.

The joys of running a small business eh? It can be rewarding but you work f**king hard for it too

Went for an interview with geoservices last Friday.

They asked me when I could start if they chose me and if I'd be able to got to France or Singapore for training haha ummmm YES!

Good luck mate, that sounds very promising!

-D

Don't forget PAYG-Is :thumbsup:

A place in Salisbury called All Make Motor Repairs & Restorations.

They have a hub-pack dyno, for extremely accurate results. No wheel spin or variable settings like roller dyno's.

214.7 at 5500rpm with a diff ratio of 4.300

Thought he was missing presumed dead like usual i hear?

Last I heard too, that's why I asked :thumbsup: He usually works out of there.

Man would be so frustrating trying to contact him if I had issues with a tune he did

Don't forget PAYG-Is :thumbsup:

Nah saddest thing is I am now paying the installments for last fin year's earnings, when I earnt considerably more - is a double knife in the back! No PAYG as I own my own company.

Speaking of pay. Im on roughly 7-800 a week, Then sell parts, order parts for ppl, work on cars. Sometimes ends up around 1k a week, so i aint complaining. Pretty chilled working with parents.

Also some new pics from my build. Someone say seam weld. Fuel cell is all complete, also got the bit where the old fuel tank top lid come up welded up.

    • 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.
