hi Guys, i know this should probably be in the wasteland and might put it there too but then again the endeavor is going to be local as i cant afford to jet around the country for it.

So.... reaching out to Sydney bods!

basically near the end of a thread in the events pages about the video night we have some fun coming up with ideas for a road rage prank. it fizzled out after a few days but the seed had been planted and on this lazy friday afternoon i couldnt help going as far as starting another thread about it.

The possibilities are endless but ultimately just one short clip the might get watched a few hundred times for the lolz on youtube would make me happy and im sure be fun for anyone involved.

main idea was to have one car pull up behind another at a crowded intersection with both drivers acting up in a typical road ragey way. suddenly out jumps some crazy characters and its on for young and old until just before the green when everyone jumps back in their cars and take off like nothing happened.

i know, not too creative but we're keeping it simple for now.

the fun stuff is in the costumes, we had suggestions ranging from superhero's to starwars characters, ninjas to pirates.

this are some examples that inspired me

oh but we gotta make sure this doesnt happen

'it wouldnt allow me to post another media file so just utube 'road rage prank gone bad'

suggest someone stands off to side with a whistle to blow as soon as lights in other direction go orange.

Stagea with tinted rear windows would be idea for hiding about 20 ninjas, very easy to make the costumes too.

ideally i want those giant dog suits or the like but i looked around and they are like 400 $ to buy. still not got a quote from a hire place so still gotta check that out. anyone know of a connect?

as for George st, liverpool st that would be the best spot. about 3-4pm to maximise stupid amount of traffic.

only problem is with holding up traffic properly is u could get in trouble with the law..and funnier if it suddenly stops for now apparent reason with everyone just acting like its all good.

i think..

why only next week?

not the week after? not put a time frame to this yet, just sounding out support, so far from this thread i count 3 bods, i could film but just as happy to sweat it out in a ninja suit.

might be the easiest one to pull off first.

need at least a dozen or so more volunteers though, plus who will the ninjas be 'versing' ? a car full of bogans who get a surprise or something equally as theatric as ninjas.? hmmm

oh ok, thanks for the heads up. i will be shocked if i get enough participants by then, thinking about going to fbook with it to see if that drums up a little more support.

ta

if you do this during the week & it's actually shot in the CBD I should be able to sneak out of work

one of my mates & people he knows uni were going to try one of those videos where everyone starts to randomly sing a musical in a public place but it never amounted to anything due to them being lazy uni students I guess

What would be better is if instead at the point where someone starts to sing, before anyone else joins in that person gets crash tackled to the ground, I'd vote for that

lol, go the crash tackling of the impromptu singer. cant imagine anything worse.

only time it was funny/worth sitting through was the time the Chaser did it, serenading random girls around Sydney uni with full on acapella and roses..

can u get hold of these lazy uni peeps? do they have a facebook group or similar for flashmobs?

oh and good chance of being shot at in bankstown but city and northshore would be fine. i still think liverpool and george for crowd shock or maybe even the carpark entrance of broadway. usually lots of people around there and easy enough to scatter from.

just people from unsw that my mate knows, they couldn't get their act together to do their own vid I wouldn't hold much hope them helping out for your one :laugh:

CBD i can do during the week cause I work on castlereagh st, bankstown & northshore ain't in my vicinity

+ depends on the day & if I can sneak out of work at the time so u name a time & place & I'll see if I can help :)

ok preciate it yoyo

problem is i also need to get my act together and find a dozen or so more people to make it as visually dynamic as it needs to be for even a mild eye brow raise from todays jaded utube viewer.

also was thinking one car full of RED ninjas, one full of BLACK

easy enough to get the blacks from a proper ninjitsu suppler etc reds will make do

at the moment its just finding enough people

tried fbook but no bites, need more friends....ideas?":P

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • 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.
