nothing is perfect no matter how much money you have..honestly..the point of the SAU stand at the autosalon as to show people cars that get driven on the road as well...too many cars you see in the autosalon not being driven at all now whats the point of that. We like to show people that come to our stand that monsters like Leewah's GTR get driven on the street however rediculous it may be it still gets driven. I guess we might have some kind of limit to how many cars we can get onto the stand but we will discuss it when the time comes (soon) ;) if everything goes well i will be doing full details to as many cars as i can get done during that time (only external detail not inside) so we will see how it goes..after a good detail you wont be able to see half the stuff on your paint :D Cheers Rob

Good luck there..haha i dont have my baby atm so i cant get around using my old mans monster (Misu Magna) haaha. If you enter the MAS i'm should be more than happy to do it if i am helping out this year. Maybe a private detailing session is in order sometime :D;)

rob me too ;)

Seagulls…

kamikaze are u even in melb?? "Albury, NSW" eh :D

Keep being funny like that and you will be polishing your cars with your arse cheeks. If all goes well with the autosalon i might organise somthing for vic people, for now i have alot of stuff to sort out, not that much time on my hands :)

    • 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.
