Trans cooler installed.

post-76144-0-41294600-1322723490_thumb.jpg

Reprogrammed valve body in transit from Jetwreck. Thanks Craig, you're a champ to fit me in so quick :thumbsup: .

The other day i had my tailgate open at the super market, closed the tailgate and there was a loud bang. Then tried to open the tailgate and it was really heavy......The strut had SNAPPED on the ram and snapped the bolt in the thread on the roof side post-41430-0-79806300-1322732411_thumb.jpg pinch.gif

So I sourced a new strut (second hand), drilled out the old bolt...sort of, snapped an ezy out trying to get it out then had to drill/dremel and heli-coil.....C#*T.......but at least now its all sweet again though.

Adjusted tail gate glass as it was sitting out from the rubber seal 5mm.

And installed another screen that I scored for free from a mate (sound doesn't work out of it) installed new pure sine inverter in the back of the car and a ps3 in the tray above my spare wheel, just velcroed to a chunk of rubber then to the tray.......

Just need to work out how to hook up the ariel to the "play tv" unit for digital tv through the ps3

I finally got the 34 rims on. They actually clear the brakes AND have enough room for wheel balancing weights....big step forward in my world....

looks good :)

Which trans cooler did you go with Leon? I got my B & M today, just need to make time to fit that and the shift kit.

Also got my fuel filter, Nismo thermostat, and HKS sensors. Streeter excellent as awesome.

Moving this weekend, but once I've moved I should have time to get into fitting some of the thousands or parts I've built up again.

Had a similar thing happen to mine about 2 years ago. You were a bit more resourceful in getting the bolt out as I had to pay some one to get mine out and that was expensive. Replacement bolt was only $5 from memory.

There's always a story, lol... I've had one in the shed for 6 months or more but now with the fmic inplace it was too big to fit nicely. I went to a local auto parts store & bought a generic one (Davies Craig brand I think), chosen purely on size & availability. I figured with all the ATF drained, there was no time like the present to plumb it in. The instructions were adamant it had to go after the radiator for the coolest possible fluid to return to the trans. I did the opposite, as per a fairly common consensus on here, & went trans > cooler > radiator > trans.

I've been keeping count mate, & I think your estimate of parts ready to go on the car is low :P. Good luck with the move. Do you realise that if you installed everything you wouldn't have to move them??

Thanks for rubbing in in you bastard! :nyaanyaa:

I have a better plan than that... half the bits are sitting at dads work next to his hoist. The rest will relocate there shortly, and I'll fit them there too. Next to fit is the cruise control, controls on one day, rest on the next. Hoping to fit the shift kit and trans cooler together after that, then fit and rewire fuel pump. TBH my B & M trans cooler looks pretty similar to yours, except mine is black and everyone knows black is cooler than silver.

Good to see you have a plan :happy: .To have a hoist (drools) would be great, but so far I've managed most things on ramps. Call me when doing the cruise control if you've got questions.

10 secs with the spray can & I've got a 'cool' B & M. Nice, thanks for the upgrade suggestion, lol.

Yeah It was a bitch to get out, they do them up farking tight from the factory..... I haven't snapped an easy out since I was an aprentice :mad: , so I was pretty annoyed at the time...... I made sure the second hand strut came with the bolt though.

TBH your trans cooler looks identical, except that it's silver instead of black.

With the cruise control, looking at your thread installing the buttons is pretty much plug and play now you've supplied wires with the right pins on them, right?

Plug & play, sure...:whistling: Nah, you'll be fine, but you've got my mobile number so please call/text if you have any questions. Just watch the removal of the Torx bolts in the steering wheel. I recommend turning the wheel so you can get at each one from out the drivers door. You need to ensure you get good access & be straight on when you apply torque to undo. A guy yesterday may have rounded off the inside of one of his.

Want to come and do mine, it snapped weeks ago. Lol

Havn,t broken a bolt yet, but the struts seem to grind and then clunk. Have a spare tail gate with struts so willtake them off and fit up.

Looks good. How do you access your a/c controls and the other controls?

    • 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.
