Yer its all yahoo japan champ! I assume you can bring the freight cost down as well if you bring it all in in a container?

i dont use containers, just ems and sea freight.

i also got a yahoo auctions account to. Some things i should be able to get chucked in with my items tho.

There's lots of water-transfer printed carbon-look trim pieces for R34's I'd love that I've seen on ImportMonster. The price isn't stupidly high, but as soon as you add in the shipping/IM charges - it becomes pointless :)

If IPhones don;t already rule the world, they most certainly will when IPhone 4 comes out .... I can hardly wait.

I have mates that bag IPhones and have HTCs, Nokias, Samsungs etc .... but none of them have the all-round features the IPhone 3GS does - and most certainly can't compete with the 4G.

I dont have anything against the iphone itself, but i wouldnt own one purely for the fact that syncing and usability with iTunes is toilet. I own an iTouch, and i dont bother with music much anymore, too hard. Well not that its hard, im just too lazy. Apps and stuff, A+, would love the same for Blackberry.

im happy with it so far, my iphone used to be unresponsive like that x10 in teh vid quite often, have not had the x10 long enough to say what its like in that regard. i have to say the scrolling and browsing on the x10 craps on the iphone from a great height

Not much of a fan of iTunes myself. I would like it if the iPod/iTouch/iPhone etc. could simply be plugged in and music copied to it without iTunes and its DRM rubbish. Also want a user removable battery in such devices!

me either .. i love my iphone .. never understood the 'zomg i just wanna install stuff and apple says NO .. wah wah' people go on about.

Some people want choice. Apple doesn't like their end users have such a luxury.

As for the 4G, I'm unimpressed... Once again they announce "new features" that have been existing in other phones for some time, the only thing that interests me is the screen resolution... Taken from the press release.

* 3.5" Retina Display - 326 pixels per inch (960 x 640) I would argue OLED more efficient however impressive resolution

* Bigger battery (7 hr. 3G talk, 6 hr. 3G browsing, 10 hr. Wi-Fi browsing, 300 hr. standby) Impressive standby, yes

* Front-facing camera Been around for donkeys years from various brands

* 5 MP camera with LED flash and illuminated sensor (tap to focus) 5MP eh? Welcome to 2007, atleast it's an upgrade from the paltry 3.2 or whatever was in the 3GS

* 720p HD video recording with built-in iMovie video editing (iMovie available in App Store for $4.99) 720p video editing with a max of 32GB storage? I can see that working well. Not sure why you want to edit video on your phone?

* Video chat (Wi-fi only) Seriously? Come on? I was video chatting back in '04 on an old NEC piece of shit

The REAL clincher for me is.... iAds I hope this isn't used an abused. Just the thought of a constant stream of advertisements on my phone, ergh, I get enough on the internet. Investors have already thrown $60m at iAds so it's gonna be pushed hard I think. No matter, I'll just get an app to block the ads, oh wait, Apple won't approve of that app will they?

***NOTE***

YMMV, this is just MY opinion. iFans don't get your panties in a bunch

I agree 100%....

Its a shame that the very reason apple started their locking down was a noble one - that being the fact that early copies of windows would constantly crash due to either poorly designed hardware and/or poorly designed drivers - they could define what precisely their customers were getting in terms of hardware - this is what's got them a brilliant reputation, regardless of how many people laud their human interface guidelines

now theyve switched to intel, the poorly made devices sold 15 years ago are no longer around since only the best of the best survive on the intel x86 consumer market... so thru attrition both the pc and mac people have taken advantage of the shoody manufacturers going out of business

thing is apple do have very nicely designed "products" which "just work" - by that definition they do a narrow range of things very very well and maybe run other software, if you're lucky...

the general perception of software vendors who tether hardware has become frowned upon over time - if Android can have a universal API that lets anyone write an app for android and it'll run on any version of certified hardware, then I think apple will find themselves on the back foot (this is in spite of them having overtaken microsoft for the time being - i think time will see MS come back on top as their business model doesnt require their own specified hardware (gates of borg meet jobs of borg)....

things started to go downhill when they forced people to use iTunes for their iPods... if a man is sane enough to copy the files he wants from folder to folder, then why lock them down and force them to use this software? Simple. Cash. AAC. DRM. All the foul stuff.

Apple are going to go down sometime or another. I think the steve jobs 'reality distortion field' has topped itself with the iTampon

    • 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.
