Did anyone else spot the Nissan Micra club at Athlon Park today. i drove past and pulled in to check it out. There were about 20 Micras there, a good turnout for what i wouldn't really consider an enthusiasts car.

>Actually I'm pretty sure it's the other way around dude.

I was going to say "I know, I was joking, I just thought it was a funny coincidence".

But then I got curious and decided to have a look...I went to:

http://www.barchetta.cc/All.Ferraris/ferra...mary/index.html

and couldn't find any Ferraris that had the four round tail lights before 1963 (which was when the first Skyline was produced with that tail light configuration). See:

Can anyone shed some light?

poor mans ferrari! i'll have you know i think the 355 is the most beautiful car ever so phhth right back at you!!! eight cylinders of full-house forged everything italiano with a couple of well-sized turbos, twin water to air cooling, m800/cdi/adl, dry sump, fully adjustable suspension, bracing/seam-welded chassis, custom carb fibre widebody w/underbody diffusers, puuuuuuurrrrrfect paint, a set of custom forged mg wheels, 8spot 400mm-ish/4spot 350mm-ish brembros fr/rear, ultra-exxy lightweight topshelf stereo (mcintosh/dynaudio/milbert/velodyne/tru tech/rainbow/apogee/phoenix gold -clicky- et al), hewland transaxle, interior made from the skin of magical, blessed and holy cows over perfectly shaped custom seats/dash/trims etc, number plates "FERRARI" and an "engineering approval certificate" from ferrari themselves... will do just nicely thankyou!!!

like i said at wakefield, you don't own a vspecII or n1 32 so you've got yourself a poor mans skyline!! ha! and sorry "mr... i can't afford dish volks" :chairshot :jump:

hehe

    • 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.
