It is great to hear from you Neil.

It sounds like country life agrees with you and to have a proper shed as well as a garage for your street cars is a dream that we all have.

Thanks Charles, we are very happy living up here. Hope all is well with you guys. Later on in the year Cheryl will get some much loving.

funny how you forgot to mention the rb30 swap!

And, if we aren't going to get any car pics, at least you should post up some shed pics :)

Kel mentioned Tamworth round is confirmed cancelled as well? Looks like I'll need to do club rounds at huntley or sdma

The rb30 swap was never ever going to happen. We have over the years enough wins and podiums to suit me fine. Cheryl will be used for club stuff and the odd Morgan Park sprints.

I know we all love big power numbers, but they don't translate to quick times, I have enough trouble with wheel spin as it is or was. 

Car pics, bloody hell I rolled her out the other day for a wash (with tank water as we are on level 5 water restrictions) and that's all she's got since we moved up here.

Shed pics, really?, does anybody actually care how I design my shed.

Kel's right no Tamworth state round but they are talking about running a club round instead.

I can also confirm Neil's joint is  good accommodation and storage for skylines when you crash them ( beer fridge always stocked like a good boozer)

I try my hardest buddy. Greta liked your car.

Popped down to Sydney on Saturday to pick up my 3 pallet loads of parts and my girls refurbished motor, Cheryl's engine is now home, thank god. I have to control myself as my plans at the moment do not include getting her in and running quickly, just nice to have her home.

This is certainly no update, I get asked all the time for pics of her cage and the originals don't work anymore so I thought I would post some I took from today. Sorry she's a little dirty but it is what it is. If you need any more just ask and I'll post them.

I thought I would do a simple little job installing inner door grab handles.

Well bugger me the stupid owner hadn't lightened the drivers door, so out with the hydraulic punch set from Hare & Forbes CHP-60, 3 different size drills and much work. Two day's later and with some blood I ended up with this, why I think it's a good idea to try removing metal swarf with my fingers is total stupidity, but I got it done. 346 grams is no indication of the weight removed as that doesn't take into account all the drilling swarf also removed, more like 400-430 grams, so not far off 1/2 kilo.

So out with the door lock electric actuators which weight 130 grams each with the wiring will get a weight loss of about 700 grams. I'm a little annoyed, I really wanted to see a Kilo.

Are you going back over those holes with a dimple die to make it stronger than it originally was?

The thought had crossed my mind, but my passenger door still hasn't sagged so I think I'm safe. Have you seen the price of a dimple set, I'd only use it once and then it would sit on the shelf forever, So basically that's a nah. As Duncan would say "That's 2 tyres".

Have seen guys 3D print them and get over 1000 uses from one die before needing to reprint them.

At about a $1 a set... I plan to give it a go!

Please post your results in your build thread buddy, I can always re-visit the holes down the track.

    • 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.
