Congrats rowan.

Its a nice car... All it needs are, nicer wheels, 5/6spoke type, preferably in bronze/silver.

And the exhaust tips are ugly, change them

AND, i'm interested in another soarer, but i can't afford one now, hahaha!

as i said - if anyone's interested in another soarer talk to myself, or the masked baron that's helping me out - (dont wanna name drop incase he doesn't wanna, he can disclose any and all info about the masked baron)

but yeah - if anyone is interested in a pearl white 97 Lpackage soarer with wald bodykit and 18" mesh type wheels and exhausts, talk to me...

106xxx km single turbo vvt 1J

did i say it was an L package yet? =)

oh and lowered too...

EDIT: pearl white soarer is clean, no rust was grade 4.5 (or 4 can't remember) B grade exterior and B grade interior (like new for it's age)

and no i'm not changing those exhausts i love them! they're the lexus IS F exhausts :kiss:

oh noes it's missing a stereo that has language and touch screen in japanese with a japanese GPS sat nav that has no use in australia

...guess i'll just have to buy a pioneer touch screen double din then :kiss:

guise - it's misisng it's stereo because owner obviously replaced orig with aftermarket and kept the stereo for his next car, this is not uncommon to happen, also

i think this would also explain the high offset 17" work vsxx

for all i know the car may have had 20" riverside trafficstars and been a TAS competitor or something (unlikely but you never know)

i'm not going to disclose much more info about this car cos ... it's mine and i haven't GOT it yet

but i do however know that the interior retrim has been performed by a top retrim shop in J ... i beleive the brand is embroidered on it somewhere??

it's an interesting piece of kit :D

and shan - STAY OUTTA MAI LIFE! haha

and no i didn't pay THAT much for it - but if i disclose the figure i'm going to get a million and forty knuckle draggers saying "you could have got one for less if you just bought locally"

oh hello

good news everyone

i'm at my desk here at work, i just scratched my cheek and turns out i have a very juicy ripe pimple beneath my skin

now if you'll excuse me i must go to the mens' and play what i like to call "colour in the mirror glass"

    • 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.
