Hi all,

If you haven't already heard there was a hit and run involving a silver skyline on Davy st last night. Two people were injured and they are currently looking for this silver skyline. I know this post will get mixed responses and views, I don't know the full story surrounding this incident, but if you know who owns this car or was driving it at the time, please contact crime stoppers (don't have the number sorry as I'm posting this from my phone), it's totally anonymous. To be honest skyline drivers get a bad enough wrap - so if you know anything at all please do the right thing. Steph.

More info, the vehicle stopped after it happened but the authorities are still trying to locate it. Love accurate media releases... that is sarcasm too by the way.

I realise you probably already know this, but in case others missed it. There's more details on the Mercury site here. The important bit of it is:

"Accident Investigation officer-in-charge Sergeant Rod Carrick said speed did not appear to be a factor in the crash.

Sgt Carrick said alcohol and drugs also did not appear to contribute, however a blood alcohol and drug test had been conducted on the driver."

Horrible this kind of thing happens, but in this situation it looks like the driver isn't the only one at fault, especially where they were hit (here). I've personally run across in that place several times because the lights are irritating (only has crossing lights on one side of the road), and when I used used to drop my wife in town for work I constantly had people crossing in front of me and had to slow down to a crawl to avoid hitting people.

It's these idiots (here) that give us a bad name

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      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.
