What about pics of tool organisation?

I'm trying to come up with ideas of how best to setup my new tool shed.

Hang em all up? Put em in a tool drawer? What about bigger stuff? And the odd one off stuff/tools? How to store/ organise power tools?

there's a thread in the wasteland that has toolboxes and such.

I believe it's titled "show us your tools"

Or there abouts.

Cool tool? My latest buy from Snap On. Cordles 3/8 rachet. Best thing ever when im doing engine bits and pieces including gearboxes or a head.

Best thing i claim it all back on tax as im a licensed mechanic ;)

nice too man.....i wanted to buy this, but bought the milwaukee version instead coz i had batteries

But when you have some nice calipers, there's no point in marking them if you don't have to.

I have a set of Bluepoint ones, but they are a bit bulky. On a lot of the cars I work on the pistons are pushed out so far the tool barely fits in. But they're a definite time saver. I'll get some pics up tomorrow.

to suit opposing piston callipers like skyline brembo and sumitomos, right? where and how much?

Used them on my D2s but yeah would be fine for brembos and sumis. Got it from Transquip, sale price 100, full price 160. Not cheap but pushing caliper pistons back is a pet hate of mine. US ebay has them for around 100 including delivery; here's the ebay search

Mate you will love those hose removing pliers,,,they are very handy.

Have you tried those caliper pliers yet,,,I was always going to make a set but if they fit inside a 4 piston sumitomo/brembo caliper I'll also buy one.

Cheers

Neil.

Those hose pliers are so cool and definitely one that makes getting the buggers off easier. Lost count of the number of times i have busted knuckles slipping the screwdriver trying to get old ones off.

As for the spreaders, i haven't tried them out yet.

I dont have the twins on the front anymore but if you like i can measure the size of the spreader for you so you can check it fits?

    • 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.
