I had a HOLDEN SS try to run me at the lights on Warringah Road Frenchs Forest and i ignored him, lights turn green - he guns it must of reached at leased 100K and surprise surprise behind us there was a FPV F6 unmarked cop car, i smiled when the cop puled him over and i just continued to drive normaly past.

My question is i seem to get alot of holdens V8's and WRX's that try to race me, i ignore them because i like my car 2 much to run the risk of losing it or losing my license and i have lost 2 many friends because of stupid boy racers, but is it just me that seems to get this or is my V35 atracting idiots that wanna race, is anyone else noticing this?

lol i always check my rear view for un-marked commo's or falcons, even then u still run a risk. thats why u try stay towards the end of the pack of cars when cruising around so you can go as fast as u want and see all. But when its just normal driving just ignore the 'hoons' =P

Always have commo's and loads of P platers trying to run me.

Most annoying is seeing them weave in/out of traffic just to catch you, then roll up along side and BAM speed off as if to say "Yea, stupid Jap crap is slow as"

Yeah, you do get that sometimes. But also I've had really good people at lights that talk about the cars, mostly imports owners.

Speaking of which, I had a Daewoo sedan with 4 people in the car catch up to me doing 85km/h in 70km/h from behind last night. I was like "Here we go again". At the next lights, he showed me thumbs up with everyone looking at my car, and then they floored it. What is the meaning of that? :D I am not going to race with a Daewoo.

Daewoo full of people ..ha ha ha awsome, i think he wanted you to show him how fast the car is... LOL

Yup. I was laughing my head off in the car when they did that.

I mean...Come on, Daewoo sedan with 4 people. I can still see their tail lights for another 10 minutes even after flooring it. :D

I sometimes get people trying to race me. But most of the time people just ask me what the car is! Not many V35 Coupes north of Bisbane.

I still remember when the guys at Audio Barn told me my card doesn't exist :P

But yea, when people do want to race it's usually P platers in Falcons and Commodores. Most import owners just want to have a look :)

actually, a drag race on the public road is meaningless.... people rock up with a V8 or something that means you don't have a chance...

then someone with a shit box and fart cannon won't make you excited......

Did it once, and only once..... A stupid Mazazdddaaaa 3 Sp something.... keep going left and middle and right and middle and left just to keep up with me

then I smoked him on the uphill stretch of the road.... yea.... shit box mazda 3 can't keep up... But I feel like a douchebag>.<

prob shouldnt say this but had many runs with whores and boreds, had heaps of *wow nice is that the new gtr?* heaps of comments at the lights and at petrol stations. heaps of is that the new 350z?

on the note of unmark car... i had an unmarked wrx stil hatch tailgating me...i floored it, pulled me over, cop a 7demerits $1k loss of licence. at the end of the day you get enthusiasts and you get the idiots.

    • 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.
