As promised i've done some digging... Thread is here:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Sm...Bad-t32289.html

Unfortunately most of the pics are gone. :(

Here is one of the many "chops" that resulted... i'll try track down the others.

I can assure you it was one of the more epic destructions of a car, but the fact he just didnt get it and/or care was the funny part.

The thread above gets funnier as you read the pages :cool:

There was also a funny MSN convo between MINES_DATSUN & Prank (forum owner)

Can be see here:

Enjoy the walk down memory lane :)

Christ! Who could even consider repairing that sorta damage! But really a 20yo in a gtr is one thing, but the fact that it was his 2nd car to write off while being a dick juz really ticks me off. It's cos of people like him that skyline drivers cop so much shit these days n y they have got the whole country driving like old ladies. Btw love the pic haha

Kinda off topic, but does anyone know how to get rid of the crappy forum lay out i have...

it only displays the first post in a topic then below it list's posts n this topic and the first 5 words, then i have to click on the post to see it.. and i have to do this for every post to read a thread gets kinda old..?

ash while you are at it, dig up some of andru's old threads about crashing his car while racing a commodore, although he wasn't actually racing, the commodore just took off fast so he took off fast too to try to pull ahead, and then the guy in the commodore got cut and apparently rammed him off the road and then a while later he tried to sell the car for a stupid amount of money and people started posting links to all his crash threads. good times had by all

go to the 'options' button at the top of the first post, change the layout from 'outline' to 'standard'

*puts detective skills to work*

I think the "yellow GTR cut and shut" comments/threats that MINES_DATSUN made in his ICQ conversation with PranK was referring to ylwgtr's post in the bus stop crash thread:

This is a really stupid comment.......if you dont have anything nice to say...dont say anything...the guy has stacked his pride and joy he doesnt need to hear this sort of crap....you dont even know the full story....the car looks pretty bad but give me a pm i could possibly give you a chop out and give you a hand to fix it.....it looks like a cut and shut long rear...this aint that bad and if done properly would not be spotted and be strong....anyway i know how you feel i been there before

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • 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.
