Hot off the presses (well off my fax machine at least) - the C35 Laurel is now eligible for import, only with RB25DET (the non turbos don't meet power/weight regs). Start bugging your local compliance workshop to take on a test car!

Here's one I prepared earlier:

thats if you can find a complaincer that wants to keep his doors open.... big problem lately well QLD side is that compliance shops are closing. due to price cuts to much no money is being made. looks like the goverments long term goal is slowly being acheived.

That's so true about raws here in Syd cutting one another to the point there's literally no incentives to do it anymore.

nice toy :( I did note the FG guards on it as a point of interest. looks like a JZX chaser.

hopefully its not all databus based like the V/M series cars as I get enough grief form people trying to mod things and FK it up royally.

Primo,

unfortunately this is the case where the mighty $ has a say. people want these cars but do not wish to have them properly complied/serviced when they land and pay the associated fees to do so. after all why pay $4k per say to get the tyres changed, fluids done kid bolts properly done and associated odds n sods when someone else will do it for half and leave teh 7-8 yr old rubber in place things half arse and so forth.. A mate of mine figures 18 months tops before the whole thing falls over in a heap up here and 90% of them jump ship. I know of one place that swapped from jap to euro/US based gear for that reason.

myself I have taken a slightly different route on them I now fix the electricals on them since there is no one really left that can be bothered working on them.

hi Chris Hence the reason ill be moving back to Australia end of may not worth the trouble to live in Japan any more. But fortunatly i have setup enough specialized backup in japan to continue going back to being a broker in Australia this bussiness will continue to some degree and im pretty sure it will become a very specialized industry from the next few years.

we know who it is doing the euro and USA stuff and i think good luck to them for having the insight to diversify at the time they did it will have definatly saved there asses.

im not quite sure what the databus thing is but im pretty certain its not. its the same as s/r chassis. i havent had any worries with mine

they can only come in as standard cars cant they??

With some help from some rocket scientists in Japan certain Brokers (not Kristian), car dealers and key board warriors pushed the workshops to bid against each other and drive any profit into the ground, it is a know fact.

How can a Broker offer a car like the M35 Stagea to be complied for $2,200 when it is $1,400 just for the catalytic converters and fitting, the workshops don't advertise pricing like that.

I know a couple of workshops who have cut there pricing to keep brokers, rocket scientists and key board warriors happy and have admitted it actually did not make any difference in the amount of jobs coming in.

yes its very wet days....... Australia just needs to deregulate you need a license to take a dump.. :(

Well you don't need one to be a broker which helps the keyboard warriors and rocket scientists in Japan who all of a sudden become experts to set up shop as a broker, but the dealers act in certain states helps to fix that problem.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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.

      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.
