Been running it on united 100 since i've been back, its the same price in Qld as 91 octane is in Tas haha

It's been pulling to the left since i nudged a kerb pretty hard even after a wheel alignment or two

and has a rattle over uneven road that i swore was sway bar links but its still there even (but quieter now) after the new whiteline links

so i took it into Pedders today for a $14 check

rack bushes and caster bushes are soft apparently and thats it

so will go for some adjustable caster bushes and nolathane rack bushes

other than that, the front sway bar is going pretty well, rear bar may be on order soon

found a seller in the us who can do it for around $220 delivered: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/370691983118?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_6027wt_1055

took the stagea out yesterday damn have i missed driving it, going to retune it to put it on bp ultimate though

Moving from E85 to BP Ultimate - why?

Lots.

Needs more info.

I fixed my coolant leak, and refitted the strut brace. Car is f**king awesome.

Dropped past Autobarn to pick up the rest of what I needed for the radiator install - coolant, distilled water, a drip tray, fan controller, adaptor for the BSP fitting, and a couple of hose clamps.

Headed home and started to fit the fan controller before I realised it was a POS. Cables are retardedly short, and the BSP temp sensor fell apart. Returning tomorrow.

Also pulled the front bar off, and the lights out to fit the LED parkers I've had lying around for ages. Found it was easier to spend 2 minutes pulling the bar off to replace the parkers than spend 20 minutes trying to dick around in the front wheel well. Looks pretty awesome.

where i live there is no e85 its totally outa my way considering we use the car everyday

Good reason, but begs the question why you set it up on E85 in the first place...? I bet you spent too much time talking to Scotty, lol.

There is a United on Princess just near your place apparently, otherwise it's just down the road in Springvale, or Blackburn road... Sounds like excuses to me. lol.

Threw a new pair of rear tyres on mine today; the new turbo definitely sorts out treadwear...

I know your fastidious, but if you haven't had a good alignment lately, might be worth checking one out.

I had a shed load of rear toe in, and it has worn my rears quite significantly compared to the fronts. Swapped them to the fronts to try and get some more milage post alignment.

Lol, by the time I saw how much wear there was on the rears, it wasn't worth rotating them.

I've got a set of SPC toe & caster eccentric bolt kits to go in, but haven't had time to fit them...

Might need to book a slot at the Nismo bro Stagea workshop to get up on the hoist with a die grinder.

Once they're in, I can set toe & camber to somewhere slightly more neutral.

I have a set here too but i'm too scared to wreck the subframe. (even though I have a spare here.) Make Craig take pics like the bi*ch he is.

I did mine with an Ozito replica dremel lying under the car on the floor of my driveway. :O

A hoist is a great idea, let me tell you.

What's your worry?

You're only elongating tue slotted holes that already exist. A man of your skills should be able to sort that.

If you don't like them you can always refit the OEM stuff.

Spoolin - ive got a bit of a bone to pick with you over those RSR springs.. they squeek like f**k and make noises daily and you charged me more for these crappy second hand springs than they even were new from import monster with shipping...

again.. watch out for dodgy f**ks on here.. selling you shit thats simply not worth it.

Did you wrap the top and bottoms with coil tape? This is to stop squeaking springs you know...

great bump mate - it was only nearly 2 years ago.

dude had a financial meltdown and disappeared after selling up agggggeeeeeesssss ago.

    • 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.
