Ouch... I hate that kinda Sh*t!  

I was going to ask why you didnt give chase but having read the damage list I understand! Do you remember anything of mention about the ute? Something we can look out for?

Yeah its undriveable, the front drivers side wheel basically wont turn and was dragged on to the tow truck. Otherwise I wouldve chased.

Was a white hilux ute with a flat tray, thats about all I can remember, wasnt really taking much notice of it until i saw something come off the back and go kablamo under my car.

A thankyou goes out to the people who stopped (who will never read this probably), especially to the guy in the white r33 gtst whod just filled up at calwell servo :(

EDIT: Oh and a big thankyou to ewen too for coming and keeping me company while waiting for the tow truck, help me remove the front bar and driving me home :D

At least I have an excuse to get some new wheels now...

That's tough luck, i feel for ya mate! Hope it gets back on the road soon, but at least you know it's in good hands.

Anyways, had a guy talk to me in bunnings car park while i was waiting for the turbo timer to flick off, asking some questions about Skylines and buying one. I pointed him towards the forums so he might come on some time.

haha yeah you hated those 3spokes. would've looked pretty good on mine... just think, you could've destroyed r33 gtr wheels had we ever done the swap! go some te37s i tell you!!!!! 18x9.5 in that new gunmetal limited ed. colour. and your front bar was a bit munted anyway so thats no great loss... your exhaust wasn't really "exhaust" as much as "pipe". you never really washed your car so a bit of a panel gap won't matter and i've heard that gtr brembro's aren't as good as AP 6spots....

(lol sorry just trying to inject some humor into the fux0red situation...)

seriously, giz a bell if you need a hand with anything. i work around the corner from you if you need a ride anywhere and if i can help with the beastie, just sing out dude.

Haha thanks for the offers. Cars at Ed's and I should have a total of the damage and what needs replacing today, front calliper has taken a fair hit so yeah, looking at upgrading :rofl:

Also should have wheels and front bar this weekend if everything goes to plan... no they dont say "rays" on them anywhere, but they should look good in my opinion... front bar is also subtly different, looks alot better in my opinion too :P

    • 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.
