Heard a creaking noise from the front brakes. So took the pads out, scuffed them up ( good to do anyway) checked tightness which was fine, cleaned and reassembled using a couple of little dollops of Grease on the pins where it looked to be touching in the caliper. See how it goes. HPX pads are lasting ages compared to the pMu pads.

Are you running 32GTR brakes?

Nice. I was going to say "didnt know they bolted up to muranos" but i didnt. Trying to hold back on the smartassness.

I think even Muranos have two pot front brakes, which is more than your car ;)

Drove down south for new years, filled car up to just a smidge over half a tank.

The drive is 90% freeway driving @110km.

Got home and the trip meter read 406km with tank pretty much empty (fuel light on), pretty happy with the fuel economy considering its not stock anymore.

Next drive over the nullabour?? to give you east coast guys a run :yucky:

^When my petrol light comes on, there's usually 15L left in my tank (assuming it's 80L?). When there's about 10L left, some nice Japanese lady invades my speakers to let me know it's getting near empty. She sounds hot.

Picked up a factory wing from the wreckers. I don't think I'll get it resprayed to match my car. I think the black looks okay, considering the other black adornments on the car. IMO, not worth the hassle of paint matching it.

Also, replaced the factory double DIN stereo fascia for a two single DIN fascia. I'm not 100% happy with the fitment, but it was a rush job as I was going away for the weekend. A few problems: Storage bay clips were snapped, so put in a self tapper to stick them on. As you can see from the pic, the end result isn't great. Also, my new head deck front plate doesn't come down too easily to reveal the CD player. AND the factory screen gets stuck when trying to pop it up :( I will just leave it up for now.

Oil catch can installed and out of harms way.

Next job today collect scotty dump pipe & front pipe from freight depot, then attempt to disrupt my mates day cause he owns a hoist and get to work installing.

And you're off & racing :thumbsup: .

Good spot for catch can. My passenger side one is there too.

For those who may not have seen the scotty dump pipe here it is. Sensational.

Looks set to expell five times spent gasses amount on my trolley.

Fingers crossed installed tonight...

Hmmmm.

Thanks man

Just remember to drop the gearbox to level the engine for easier(used loosely) access. And a muzzle for the swearing that will ensue.

    • 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.
