SUP.

this thread is for community spirit i guess... this thread is about..

let's list the imported / JDM / AUDM japanese cars that you do and don't "wave" or "give the thumbs up" to... feel free to elaborate on why you do it..

me:

GIVE KUDOS TO:

R32 Skylines - you guys are a good bunch who usually spread love back

C34 Stageas - again, you guys are a good bunch of blokes, who usually aren't afraid to give a wave if someone's waving @ u

Z30 Soarers - I'd rather not cos most of them are Ugandan

Z20 / Z10 Soarers - these i go nuts for. anyone driving this in 2011 deserves a medal

Ke70 corolla / JZX series cars / any and all bizzare imports like Y34 / Y31 / A31 / C210 / MA61 / JZA70 / R31 etc.. i give it up for these dudes daily..

I DONT GIVE KUDOS TO:

WRX - these guys are not cut from the same cloth

EVO - these guys tend to thumb their nose at me

Nissan Z cars - again, usually driven by owners who just dont "get it"

R33, R34, V35 drivers - again, most of these drivers particularly R33 drivers dont show love to me they just look down their noses at me so i show no love to them.. i'm also noticing an increase of drivers of these cars who are not on the forum so i dont bother... sorry guys!

M35 stageas - just no.

Galant / Legnum drivers - again these owners seem to think they're exempt from showing love to JDM owners..

what about you guys? do you have a "no" list?

a yes list? what is it and why

If i know the person down here (ie bunbury) i wave, otherwise the rest i dont bother as they hoon around and cause trouble. Up in perth if i'm driving the 32, which hasnt happened in a while, i will wave if they wave pretty much. The early Z's down here are usually tucked away and don't come out much, these guys i chat to a bit when i work in town and we get along ok. Silvias are the same, quite a few down here are kids and arent polite

Dan i am SO NOT on your no list. and you know that.

im on your YES list!!!!

and bubba - obviously i wave to R33/34 owners that i know / previous customers i've served etc! :) those guys get a wave

if i feel spicy i even give then a double peace sign out the sunroof - you know you got me going when you get one of them!

my other no list: X-trails! :P

another thing i have on my "no love" list:

any Nissan S series cars. they're jealous of me i think. give me daggers everytime so i just glare back like this:

OH AND AND AND!!! one more thing!!!!

i was outside washing my car the other day at 6pm on a friday, as you do... and i hear

VvvvvvRRRRRRMMMMM PSSSSHHTTTtut tu... VrrRRrrrRRrooOOOOPSHHTTTtttu tu tu...

casually driving up my street, head down to see what it is...

it's a mid 1980's datsun stanza with an RB engine and a tiny little polite front mount.. and some wide 15inch rims...

i wave.. car flashes beams at me and waves back...

the driver:

A hot brunette with a sexy fringe and black frame gasses. cute as hell.

im in love.

Hot. BRB stairwell.

why not an M35 Stagea?

whats wrong with us?

I get snobbed by every M35 I come across. The only M35 driver I haven't been snobbed by was andynogo but I ran into him on foot at the shops :P

Oh and a few of us C34 boys rolled into Carousel HJs carpark on night before heading into the hills. There was a couple of R33s, and R34 and maybe an S13.. there was also a towtruck driver near us eating dinner. Some smart ass skyline driver was like "huhuhuh the towtrucks here to pick the Stageas up" :dry:

So before we left, we watched one of the Skylines being put on the back of another flat bed that rocked up :rofl:

Unfortunately, that was the night I snapped my gearbox :(

P.S. Aaron, I love your avatar :laugh:

Eps man, yumad4? You do a lot of raging about people not waving to you :P

Me, I wave to all imports if I see them in time. And if I'm driving next to one, I give them some bov love and a wave :D I hardly ever get any love back though. Most people look at me like I'm a nutjob. Others think I want to race so they just take off...

At least... :ermm: At least I think that's why they take off... :unsure:

:(

    • 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.
