One turbo short of a car :) , but looks really nice - those IS F tips really pimp it up.

I used to love Soarers then they just got old and tired looking, but this one has rekindled the passion - nice work.

damnn Mr.Eps that is a nice car....it looks mafia tough. nice work!! tell me how it runs when you get it..youve actualy got me interested in soarers.

update all...

while scouring the internet, i found something today...

when i purchased this car - i looked at the paint, and the 1-off bodykit, and the IS F exhaust, and the interior...

and thought

no way would a japanese shop / owner go THAT FAR with car mods, then drive it around on those BULL SHIT 17" wheels.

i had my theory that the owner sold the car, kept his high spec stereo, and put on some cheap 17" wheels he had lieing around so that he could keep the wheels n sell the car

well

look what i found...

mah bebbeh. in days gone by.

Lpack = top of the range,

you get access to many more options with Lpackage but the staples are the woodgrain dash, TEMS suspension (not applicable due to coilover setup - and incase you don't know, TEMS = a button you press, you want relaxed soft suspension, push the button and it handles like commo / falcon easy rider stuff, you push the tems button again and suspension goes stiff for more "spirited" drive

what is now called elec damper control i suppose - except understand this is a car designed n built in the 1990's... so very impressive for it's age...

oh also the dash has a touchscreen stereo, tv, dvd, gps and satnav station (again not applicable because prev owner retained his aftermarket stereo so i have to buy a newie - which iw as going to do anyway, again... lpackage stereo was very impressive tech for a 90's car but nowadays is out dated

but staples for me are - sunroof (which is optional) and woodgrain (which haters can hate but i like the woodgrain with my gaudy burgundy interior) and full electric seats (slide / tilt / lumbar support with memory settings)

btw - guys if you think my aftermarket sc430 retrim is foul

check out the lexus sc430 eternal jewel interior (final run of sc430)

of which production finishes this month

haha suddenly mine doesn't appear that bad at all does it :D

nah i get that it's not everyone's taste... if anything it's horribly ricey. but i like it :P

just kidding. i love it!

haha yes. and he wore gucci shadez.

odd that you mention that shan that's pretty much the same thing i said to my broker haha

tonight i dine in hell.. can't wait hey

oh and earlier in the thread i mentioned a pimple on my cheek

update on the pimple. it's still there. it wont vacate my face and it's now stopping me from smiling.

discuss.

I now am really intent on a Soarer with those rims.....any idea wat the rims are called? damnn id look chocko in that car!

    • 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.
