Bought and installed a new battery today (with larger terminals to suit, and a new battery clamp to hold it in). I now have 610CCA's of juice available to kick my starter motor in the guts!

what shade did you go on the window tint josh? darkest legal? just wondering how it looks against the stock rears shading.

we went with the darkest legal shade which here is 35%- I like having a car that doesn't get picked on by the cops (yet). It looks pretty good. You can tell it's lighter but there's not a huge difference. But then that could also be due to the front windscreen being so light? I'll try to get a decent pic of it.

(sorry for butting in :blush:)

I used those TRW Lucas pads in R32 GTR calipers on my R31, very nice, from stone cold to the hardest I could push 'em.

Get used to washing those wheels; they're dusty buggers...

:blush: some ppl were saying that they aren't too bad but i've noticed a fair bit of grime already

i'll probably swap them out for the qfm hpx when i've got the money or am sick of washing the wheels

Get a can of Autoglym wheel seal for your rims, then you'll basically be able to hose the dust off.

lol jo. it is your car after all :) i'll keep an eye out for the pic.

On the weekend I finally go around to fitting the carpc into the wagoon, had already fitted teh screen previously when I put the CB in but had a couple of wiring issues.. got those sorted out yesterday so now everything works mint!

Must say, I've missed having a carpc!

Oooh, post photos when you're done, please!

Last night finished fitting new tie rod ends to the Stagea. This morning had a full wheel alignment done. :P

Saturday the Stag gets a brake upgrade ... Sumitomo 4 pot calipers and 297mm rotors ... Lucas pads :)

put in my tranny cooler, hard suction line to turbo, turbosmart BOV (couldnt be bothered with having to plumb back the standard BOV) and also dropped the front drive shaft,

definatly fun times being RWD but pretty just doing it to make it easier for when i get it tuned soon,

    • 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.
