Is it just me or something but i really hate Footscray, two weeks ago i got a fine for waiting for a parking spot (apparently your not allowed to stop on that street for any reason) :mad: and i come back to my car yesterday to find a small dent right in the center of my passenger side door :rant:. WTF don't people give a sh!t about other peoples property anymore, i'm always careful when i open my door regardless of what make/brand/age of the car next to me and i'm especially careful when it's windy i actually hold my door ti make sure it doesn't swing from the wind. So be warned becareful where you pull over in Foots as there are cameras which fine you.

does anyone else hate Footscray or any other street/area for what eva reason.

its any area nowadays, people dont give a fuck about anyone else's property

like recently my oldre brother was hit from behind in his work ute, the guy that hit him tried to blame him for the accident, then left false details

it was only lucky that he got the guys rego.... when the insurance called him at work he said no-one by that name worked there, but when the cops called funny how there was a guy by that name

How can you hate somewhere and the rules if you are the one breaking them? :blink:

Put car in no standing zone, get fined = fair enough.

Reason is irrelevant.

But to get a fine for waiting for a car to leave, to me isn't fair. The guy was in his car driving out of the parking spot, if i stopped and was waiting for someone to come back to their car than fair enough. Camera's in those back streets are only for revenue raising, council's are looking for new ways to make money.

I wouldnt say breaking the law unless waiting for someone to come out of a parking spot is illegal, is it??

If the area is signed as NO STANDING, then that's exactly what it means - NO STANDING!

There is no excuse you can use. It's like making up a reason for doing 65 in a 60 zone to get out of a speeding fine.

Or being in a clearway and 3mins after the signed time, you have a fine & car is getting towed.

Whilst a lot of stuff is harsh - ye, they are road rules.

Melbourne is just shit and thats that.

Having been in europe for a while now and seeing everybody do what they want without consequences and without mayhem breaking out makes you see how sheltered and exploited we citizens are.

But yeah no point whining about it on the internet.

Well it is now, fine was on Byron Street Footscray. Didn't know i had a fine until my mum yelled at me for it (she's already paid it). For now on no more street parking.

Also there's white paint from the other car on my door where it hit, what brand of cut and polish should i buy also what strength?

Quite the draconian society you depict there...Not far from the truth when it suits those who benefit from it most.

Indeed it is, and i think it's ridiculous.

But at the end of the day that's how it is, and it will never change.

Australians simply don't give enough of a shit to change this type of thing.

Everyone bags the French, but look what happened when they wanted to up the retirement age, they rioted!

We need that kinda passion here, but being a young country and so multi cultural, it'll never happen.

    • 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.
