Yeah, I think a drive might be a good way to unwind from work.

Hope to have a few things sorted on the car by then :happy:

Nick in his C34 should be coming, any other Sydney stags?

SAU social cruise 26th Feb

Nah - unfortunately, Raf and Alex, I won't be able to make it. Got a birthday party to attend that afternoon/night and if I come along I won't be back in time to help in the set-up.

There is a March cruise coming up though (details to be posted soon), and I should be able to make that one, depending on how many birthday parties are set up between now and then (mine and at least 5 other friends are all in March)...

Evening peeps! long time no post! Goldzilla, I apologise for not contacting you: I was down your end a couple of weeks ago, but only for a very short time, and mega busy... Hi to all the new faces! Hope all is well!

Micah

Nah: too busy trying to buy investment property, and the old girl's got some life left in her yet!

I'm trying my damndest to make the numbrs work for me to move down your way, but the pricing in the Northern beaches is........ a real Beach! Still, there is some potential.... watch this space... ;)

  • 2 weeks later...

stag decided to start making a funny noise last 2 times i've driven it.... checked all fluid levels and everything seems to be fine!

pretty sure its the power steering belt or something....as it gets louder when I put the wheel in full lock!! >.<

(at least my clutch thrust bearing whine has gone away for the last 6 months)

might take it in for a service as the 100,000 just ticked over the other day! whistling.gif

yeh im pretty sure most cars make a slight "belty" sort of sound at full lock.. maybe get it checked if your getting someone to do the 100,000km service, maybe them??

yeah i'm getting it checked thursday!! it kindof goes away after the car warms up! >.<

just made me worried cos it was a "different" kindof a noise haha whistling.gif

lol my transmissions making a funny "different" kind of noise. sort like stepping on a cat.

im waiting till i blow it up anyway.

I thought you had said your gear box was with the shift kit was handling the new tune?

yeah I checked my fluid at the back and that's a bit low.. 99% probs the cause of it! >.<

I checked everything but the back one!

that's the atessa fluid right ? I thought a light was meant to come on and tell you if that was low??? haha

maybe not whistling.gif

p.s. have you checked for cats in and around the engine bay ?? oh thats right.. the m35 probs couldn't fit one in there.. :P

yeh atezza, make sure when your checking it, the car is running and at operating temp. its the only time the pump bottle will be accurate.

lol, im suprised at how modifcations fit in there.. hahaha

no cats. maybe a mouse, or two

nah turns out the atessa is fine.. had a leak near my power steering pump haha was a tad low.. fixing it up for me cos was just a clamp he thinks!!

I've been hard at work thinking about what I can keep in the back left storage thing in my car.... (the panel)

question for the day: what does everyone keep in their back left panel compartment thingy?? :)

    • 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.
