yesterday i spotted:

1. Bullet32 going home along Canberra Ave around 5.40pm ish. gave a wave/got a wave (finally! :thumbsup:).

2. shortly after a blueish purpleish r32 GTR heading the same direction.

3. a gun metal r32 gts-t parked at the swinger hill shops at around 6pm. i heard you leave, car sounded great. RB20's give 1 of the best exhaust notes ever...

last monday i spotted a white r33 GTR leaving fyshwick in the early afternoon. gave it a squirt and was pretty quick. looked sweet too....

Drove to Sydney to pickup my GTR wing and boot (gen-u-wine :)) and spotted two 34 GTRs (1 blue (pulled into right lane to let him merge onto Hume Hwy and he absolutely flew past me, he would of been going around 200km) and the other was black) and 1 black GTT.

Good days spotting, cant complain about seeing 2 34 GTRs :)

spotted a BMW 850I V12 :P i thought it looked pretty old. Turns out they were released in the late 80's for get this... around $220,000... now I am no mathematician but wouldn’t $220,000 in the 80’s would be a S^#t load of money back then for a car... now a days it's probably not seen as a stupid amount for that sort of car but i mean back then that would almost be bugatti veyron money :closedeyes: ... anyways they can now be had for around 30 - 40K :no:

I dont know if you know Leigh but I used to work for BMW and we had all sorts of problems with the 850i's... They werent the best built beemer ever thats for sure.

They also didnt sell very many because of the price tag, they were a BIG flop for BMW and I think they lost a lot money out of it too.

Nice cars though and they go pretty good (even though they weigh 2 tonnes). :closedeyes:

No I never had the pleasure of even seeing an M1, I dont think that there are any in Australia...

I did get to drive plenty of M3 and M5's though.

By the way, that pic of the red 850i you have there is the "Alpina" model, they were even MORE expensive.

    • 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.
