Do an Uncle John and order 10! Thats sure to get an order filled!

lol and the lambo still had fogging issues.

I'll grab a screen too. I'll email you when i've put the deposit in.

I'm not surprised given the 1st screen I got was one from John that he had left over from the old R34 days. We couldn't get that to work at all.

But does anyone have any details on who the V8 Supercar mob are?

I go through enough windscreens to know that although a great price, these are too dear for me.

12V hair dryer will sort my screen out :)

I'm with you on that one too Marlin!

I have a smallesh 12v hair dryer under the dash, been looking for a better one for some time now.

Have you come across any good ones?

No mate, I'm yet to actually remove my stock system and replace it with a dryer.

Beer Baron would be the go-to man for all things hair salon I reckon....... or wait, doesn't someone amongst us drive an MX5?

I'll have to get his opinion.... :P

well I did work in a hair salon as a teenager to make some cash. i give wicked head......massages and yes the owner did drive a celica (convertible too if I remember rightly). apart from that I dunno, I did bone a chick working there though and that was nice but a bit off topic. I also remember some kind of hair straightener that was in such high demand recently people were doing ram raids for them. perhaps if you had a couple of them and stuck them to the screen it would work, or if not at least you and your co-driver would have nice straight hair...

Hi Guy's

I;m trying to post and getting above the post ready to go in pink " You are not allowed to use that image extension on this board."

The only images ready to go are a few basic Emoticons ??

Any help appreciated

I have seen a proper fan unit for demisting, i will track it down/get a price.. yada yada

are you thinking of the ones that mark and jase have fitted. dont get one of jase he'll rip ya. haha.

they are a small 12v heater element (eliminates heater core) and they have a 12v computer fan. the box they come in is rubbish and every one we have fitted to race cars (would be a dozen or so) have had a custom box made for better air distribution. more fans could be added for better air flow.

they do however have there limitations. one race car we fitted one to ran at last years bathurst 12 hr in the suport calses and aparently it was spastic weather. anyway it wasnt enough to defog the window with everything working against it.

these are the best 12v heater and fan that i have come across and sell for around $200 but i would have to check. im thinking its under $200.

another option that can be used was somthing spotted on an old rally car at the alpine rally 2 years ago. the owners of this car had made a plate to sit a few mm off the top of the gearbox tunnel. this then had a computer fan on it and some ducting upto the windscreen. so they were sucking the hot air off the top of the tunnel. race cars are always hot in that area so its just a way of recycling the heat.

anyway way off topic and i agree these windows are cheap

Don't look at me Del,,,you and I have the same basic puter skills,,,maybe don't include the "neil's a great guy emoticon". :action-smiley-069::action-smiley-069::action-smiley-069:

Cheers

If you want a good electric fan demister, and you're good at tinkering, I'd by two cheap hair driers, and pull them apart so they no longer have the handles etc, and create a special mount/way to force the air in (And not let it escape unless it is going past the window)

But for less weight, heated window = Win.

heated windscreen for less than a single race tyre. or about 1/20th targa entry fee.

sounds like an excellent investment to me.

I change at least 3 to 4 windscreens a year though.......

Regardless, as I said, excellent value for what appears a great product!

Too fast over Arrowsmith will do that.. spastic number of cars caught and passed

    • 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.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
