Did anyone see the s14 200sx on the m2 from 7.20am till whenever the cop finnaly finished going over the car (this morning 09.07.2010). The 200 was a dark greyish colour with a white widebody kit. It had massive deapdish chrome wheels with rubber stretched so hard you couldn't tell if it had any. The ride hight was pretty much on its belly and there wasn't any mufflers on the car either. what was this guy thinking? Surely he saw it coming?

I saw that car on Pennant hills rd the morning of the big blackout at around 7ish and followed it down Beecroft Rd.

All the cops doing point duty at the lights were just shaking there heads at it :P

I said to my workmate "I wonder how long it will take him to gat defected"

Each to there own but IMO that car looked rediculous, the driver seemed pretty proud of it though. It was bloody loud too

lol! sounds like reaper

Thanks for the kind words and your concern. Wasn't too bad in the end just a few fines and a red sticker. I was actually only driving it to drop it off for paint after work but oh well. It is a track car so don't bag me out too much :blink:

Not yours by any chance Jay? lol.

I saw it at St Ives Chase where i live.

I was in my black 33, it came past and the driver decided to kick the clutch...

mean power...but not sensible for these roads.

keep it on the track please.

Yeh..it was on its guts, Grey with white wide body kit.

Dont remember which day it was, i was coming home from work one day though.

I was wondering what that guy meant by reaper. Fair enough if its not a daily and you just wanted to take it for some work. Unfortunately your car stands out like dogs balls for the cops so your chances of making it there without a defect were pretty slim. All you need to do is add a muffler and raise it a tiny bit and you would probably be able to pass on the road without hassle. Can you post pics?

sorry I dont have any decent pics yet ill definately take some once its painted

wheel specs are 18x9.5 -36 front and 18x11 -15 rear

ill be increasing the front camber as its a little under whats ideal for me when drifting at the moment so that will bring the fronts a bit further under. its not actually all that far out though :D

    • 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.
