Fark, no good; hopefully it's fallen against a closed valve, otherwise you're in trouble. I'm assuming this happened with the upper plenum removed?

If you know which port it went down, and you still can't reach it; removing the lower plenum may allow you better access.

sorry, wrong wording.

no, in front down onto the pulleys and belts.

engine still unopened.

looked for a solid 45 mins with a torch.

not under the car or on the underside cover.

still nowhere to be seen.

hopefully won't drop or jump up into the pulleys when its going.

yep, magnet definitely on my shopping list

I dropped a nut (steady on...) in the engine bay of my Commodore a couple of years ago while I had the intake manifold off and the valley exposed. No idea where it went but the car still hasn't died. WHY WON'T IT DIE? GAAAAHHHHH!!!

Car back on hoist for hopefully the last time for the handbrake cable and a few small things.

Noise from the clutch gone. Seems to be a tiny noise around the cat but i will be replacing the exhaust from the dump back. Now that the auto is gone i can get something that will sit much closer to the body (less scrape yay!!)

Umm picture of Drive Shaft is all i can offer today.

Handbrake is mounted and almost finished but i didn't get a picture as the car was up on the hoist.

So really on the home stretch now. The mechanic has an S13 he is getting off defect for a customer and i can live without the M35 for another day so i'm hoping to pick it up tomorrow / Wednesday/

Stay tuned

Just picked up the M35. (picture inserted for joy!!)

The mechanic has given me a link to the build on their website so i shall share

Car seems to be running rich and is in desperate need of a tune. Once the holidays are over i'll get it in to have the emanage tune looked at asap.

Enjoy.

Nice of the workshop to put up all the details. I reckon Scotty has already started collecting the parts. Lol;)

I'm sure Scotty already had most of the parts ready to go over a year ago :P

I think he is neck deep in ECU / Turbo stuff atm which hopefully will save me some frustration after the xmas holidays :)

    • 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.
