If you're already locking up, increasing traction will help. Wider tyres.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that I had balding fail spec Nankang 215 tyres on some TTF 7" wide rims :D

But never fear, thanks to Hamish I have got those SSRs on the way. 8" front and 9" rear.

Should get a 245 on the back. That will definitely help.

... or just don't jump on the pedal so hard and pulse your braking.

costs $0, and it level up's your driving skills.

Well... It's only happened ONCE. And I learned my lesson. But the brakes still get to that "locking up" point too quickly. I can feel it.

Was pretty funny when I did it. Middle of Nepean Hwy in traffic. Made a big amount of smoke. People looked at me as if I was retarded.

Pretty embarrassing :D

woot. just bought a brand new unpainted OEM VW golf MK4 R32 kit.

now the question is, should I get the optional MK5 GTI style front bumper or should I get the regular MK4 R32 front bumper?

probably should just stick to MK4, cos putting a MK5 front is a lil wanky like R34 fronts on R32's. Mind you there's not that many guys no one who've done it.

huh? why are you searching for a front bumper when you have already bought a 'kit'?

i say go MK4 all over, that silver r32 with the black BBS rims looks porn

cos the kit can be supplied with an R32 front bar, or MK5 R32 style front bar. Same price, 100% polyurethane (no fibreglass), fits perfect etc. Gotta love aftermarket parts out of Europe... none of this half arsed stuff like jap aftermarket parts.

Yeah consensus seems to be that MK5 R32's should only exist on MK5's and not on MK4's. Pity no one's done it before (or if they have they've done some gaybo fibreglass conversion that looks shocking) so I can't tell if I like it or not.

so you have no idea what the mk5 front will look like on the mk4? sounds risky

nope. I know... that's what's shitting me... the fact that I can't visualise what it'd look like. Otherwise I'd have made the call and gone for it.

Pat spending money? I don't see that happening lol

??

On another note;

My engine fan has been replaced with a thermo fan due to the larger radiator.

Anyone know a good thermo fan controller? Im after one which reads ecu water temp signal, can set trigger point (85degrees) and will turn off when it reaches another set point. (80degrees)

Now go :D

You fan should run off a thermositor. Figure out if you can tap a frequency or voltage line coming out of it and then add one of these:

program in the relevant voltage/frequency that corresponds to the temp you want and off you go.

thanks for that, Found this;

Has a temp on and cut off. Although im not sure how to wire in that if AC is on that it is always on...

Any chance you know where the 12v Aircon trigger wire should connect on the relay?

Thanks

Same. f**king pissed myself when I got her messages and called her an idiot.

haha

poor guy didnt know what he got himself into

although ironic how many times she told everyone she hated greeks and yet shes with one now :thumbsup:

want me to exchange some eggy gifts? :nyaanyaa:

haha nah man all good

as much as i hate her, i just thought it was f**ken hilarious :)

    • 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.
