Hi,

I may be able to get parts for you. What parts are you after?

JH

not so much as in parts, but chopping some sections out of the car, since he's not willing to part with the whole car to someone else

roof bits and rear boot panels (bottom section thru to and including wheel corner)

can send photos if needed. anything you can do is muchly apreciated

If chopping involves oxy equipment, I'm fairly sure they won't permit it. However, if you send a list/diagrams/photos, I'll go and ask them.  

edit: (BTW How would you get the panels to Sydney?)

Grim news,

"vehicle body no longer in stock"

Somehow... you have to get to these cars before the wreckers get their hands on them.

What does that mean - has what was left of the car been crushed? So much for my big plans for this weekend. This is irritating as several people tried to snap up what was left of the car before it got minced and they wouldn't have a bar of it... the idiots.

The C210 sedan still isn't worth mega-bucks unfortunately, (although prices are climbing), but there is bound to be plenty of interest in a rust-free car. Please let the forum know if it does come up for sale.

The C210 is attractive because it is cheap, it runs similar engine and drivetrain to the popular and pricey Z cars, they are comfortable and easy enough to repair. Maybe they aren't the coolest car on the planet, but they are pretty quirky at least. They are getting a bit rarer now, so they get a bit of attention from passers by, too.

Looking back at the state of the car as it rolled into the wreckers (see first post, pics are still there at the moment), it was in fairly good condition. Have no idea why they were unwilling to sell it complete. I did ask and they simply said it "wasn't allowed".

Will ask about the car and let you know.

An update:

Spoke to the guy at Jolly's this morning. The C210 has been crushed and sent off for scrap.

The story is that they cleared several rows of cars on the lot to make room for 20 cars that arrived.

The aerial pic (http://www.jollysupullit.com.au/Home/Home.asp) shows the cars packed really close together. It's very difficult to retrieve some parts (like doors and guards). They clear a row, then fill a row.

As far as rare goes, ive only ever seen 5 C210 sedans in Perth or known of them.

haven't seen any coupe's at all

I was in Perth for a holiday in 2004 and saw a stock light brown coupe with WA plates, east Perth.

It was very clean, parked behind the shopfronts.

Big shame the car is crushed. What a waste.

Hopefully i speak for most in saying that the wreckers guys are f$&king tools!

I'd like to say a really BIG thankyou to John who thankfully got in and got parts for me before those F wits demolished that car. John really went out of his way to help and this is much appreciated, onya John. Ricky

      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.
