Hi Marko

I've got too many at the moment plus a car trailer I bought this week. Space is a problem.

Option 1. Selling the Skyline and the Senator and keeping the R30, then buying a ute or one tonner as a tow vehicle.

Option 2. Selling the Skyline, the Senator and the wife's Forester, keeping the R30, then buying a larger 4WD as a tow vehicle.

Option3. Keep everything and get comments about looking like a car yard.

U are the 3rd gtr owner who also owns a forester for the wife...great cars.

Well....... I would have very nearly been the 4th!

My wife had the choice of either a Forester or Liberty as her new company car 2 weeks ago....... Ended up with the Liberty 2.5 Premium wagon. Great car. Heaps better than the sh!tty Camry she had.

What's wrong with a car yard? I have 5 cars........ Nightmare but I can't bring myself to consolidate. I just can't find 3 (let alone 2) cars that will tick all the box's of 4 plus the daily I own.

Cheers,

Bob.

What is your collection bob?

Camrys are crap, aurion is nice though. My brother has 1 and it absolutely flies for what it is.

1991 Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R ADM

1990 Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R JDM

1997 Mercedes Benz SL 600 V12 (Kerry Packers Car)

1989 Ferrari 328 GTS

Bob.

Very nice bob. Kerry packer loved his gtr's as we all know.

Sanderson's Mercedes is the Packer's preferred Merc dealer from whom I purchased the car.

The Dealer principal (owners son) recalls Packer coming into the showroom in 1997 and parking a burgundy GT-R in the middle of the service centre when enquiring about the car. It was a special build by Mercedes for the 1997 Sydney International Motor Show.It had $12,000 worth of options and cost Packer $397,000!

I have all the purchase documents and fax communications all on Consolidated Press letter heads.

It's one of 38 SL 600's that was officially brought into Australia by Mercedes during its model span - 1993-2001.

Well done Uncle Duncan.

I read an article on the 10 most desirable Jap cars to own in unique cars, they estimate that the good ADM cars will be back up to their purchase price in 10 years.

For anyone interested, mine is going to be auctioned in Shannons Sydney auction. Its listed on their page.

Good Luck Jim......

Here's the link to the auction - http://www.shannons.com.au/auctions/lot/RR9ZSB0AK3FD3B/

Bob.

Can anyone get a similar photo done of their ADM (mines in hiding) from the right rear qtr, check the numberplate holder section, its a good indication if its legit.

    • 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.
