20 mins ago i found the traction control button, deactivated it and lost all rear traction lol, I immediately had a vision of you at the last op day you went to as you went close to the wall lol.

Still thinking of you matt lol

No amount of traction control would have helped me at OP :banana:

Think i passed you in the skyrine on Pennant hills rd this arvo about 3:30pm... i was in da silvia just past North rocks rd.... I THINK it was you :/

I don't miss a thing on the roads, I already put the spot in the spotted section, I remembered your car because I beat you at texi :) lol

It's a 3200GT, Nick.

The original and the best-looking one, before they changed to the shitty generic tail-lights on the updated version...

I agree, the new model's are pretty ugly and very bulky..... but they upgraded the engine to 4.2 litre V8 twin turbo instead of 3.2, but they also through on an extra 2 doors, put on all this fancy smantzy navigation, 400 air bags, electric bloody seat belts, bose speakers with a sub ect ect.... they made the new ones into more of a luxury tank, than an eligant sports car.

bloody hell now that i'm writing this my dads just stolen the car and sped away somewhere... so annoying :thumbsup:

get some hektic rimz for it brah!

aww but i like the ones already on it,,,, except when i came home tonight from S&S meeting to find that while my dad used it to pick up my brother from uni, he hit the back drivers rim on a roundabout lol... I think he went drifting it tonight

Tom, what I was talking about was the update to the one you own, not the new cars.

Your version has the "boomerang" style lights:

The update had the same body, but with the boring tail-lights. They look ordinary, but were probably a whole lot cheaper to manufacture:

Really nice acquisition Tom.

Will you be getting the car serviced at a dealership or at a dedicated service/workshop?

I only ask because the workshop that serviced my Alfa Romeo 164Q also services Maserati/Fiat/Ferrari.

Let me know if you want his details at Carlton.

So, you're going to enter it in the Show'n Shine - Ya?

Would be a shoe in for "Besting Sounding @ > 8k rpms" - lol

i'll bring it to S&S if the dyno is there, if not the skyline comes down since it is a skyline show lol.

I just dont want people carelessly brushing up against it with jeans and bracelets and keys and what not.... not that i dont care bout the skyline, but the skyline already has an unpainted front bar sitting on it and its already had a fun filled life. its a 96 model so its allowed to start getting scratches and stuff, the maszza is still just a baby, and should still look young

If your talking about the guy that does the ferraris, lambos, maseratis ect.... I bought the car around the corner from them. I went in and saw them, they look on the ball, offcorse they'll charge allot, i'm not fussed, no point buying a car and not being able to afford to maintain it, i'll probably take it to them but now i'm interested in the carlton mob just for comparrison.

I highly doubt most other mechainics would know what to do with them, ive looked at the engine bay and ive got no idea what i'm looking at lol, not as straight forward as a skyline.

yep that's the one :)

yep that's the one :)

funny story, I only knew they were around the corner because when I was inspecting the masserati, one of their mechanics was thrashing the shit out of a customers ferrari, think it was a modena F1 (if that makes sence), the cheaper one thats about 5 years old now, then the dealer said yeah they service the exotics 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.
