Your just good at reading minds ROLLS, Seriously how can you apply any grammar rules to this guys statements. Not one is completely grammatically correct. So he remembered ONE comma, Whats one comma when you specify 'ONE' unit. The buyer needs to work on his grammer, and the distributor probably should have asked for clarification if there was any doubt(of which I can see plenty by everyones interpretations). And if the buyer refused to be clear in exactly what he was asking then I would have refused to do business personally. If you received a phone call from someone that spoke like that, how well do you think your order would have gone? He might have well been speaking slang.

Try telling that to an English professor, they will tell you that you certainly can be grammatically correct. If he requested ONE unit and had NO comma then it is perfectly clear that he only wants one unit. "extra special" is basically slang for 'good, working, above average, perfect" etc.

All the banter was that the distributor thought he wanted two units, the buyer only wanted one unit, and due to his large distance he wanted an "extra special" unit, eg one that won't break as he is so far away! If he wrote "extra, special" eg he included the comma then it would have been unclear and you could think "does he want one or two units?", but that wasn't the case, the grammar was correct and makes sense.

Something that makes your posts a tad easier to read is "quoting" posts eg using the quote button or "html" tags like

[/ quote .]

etc

Yea, but after the "extra special unit" I did not stop there,....I went on to say where I was from which is far and it would be lots of headache to return, so that by itself should of cleared up any doubts

He mentioned this second unit thing before in another thread and I had no idea what he was talking about, and to tell you the truth if he hadnt highlighted it in that statement above, I still would not have had a clue where he got that idea from.

And even though, if he really thought I did want a second item, what was the big deal to tell me no, that's not possible, or that I would have to pay for the next one???

Anyway I'm over it.....I have my Datalogit and couldnt be happier, and I have asked that my personal info be deleted, and/or everything else, if the mods see fit.

What happens when you go to Mc Donalds or enter in fast food restaurant name here and use slang to order your food...

1. Spit in you food or worse

2. Your order will just plain be wrong

What are the odds that you will get exactly what you want?

Then there is the fact that if you look at ever post by this guy in this thread that he does not check his grammar, so how can you interpret exactly what he meant in any sense. And that just makes any translation that much harder, because the reader has no idea if the writer meant to put a comma in or not. Add the run on sentences, incomplete sentences, and mis-spelled words and its a miracle anyone perceived this writers intentions.

Your personal information should be deleted/removed from this public thread. I did blank it out when I quoted it.

Total agreement there.

The fact he wrote "ONE UNIT", then wrote "extra special unit" implying a really good single unit, then qualified WHY he wanted an "extra special unit" is 3 reasons why he wanted a single unit, there was nothing to interpret, it was blatant what he wanted lol.

I can see how 'extra special unit' on its own might need clarifying especially if you are from another country but in this case it was pretty explicit.

The reason why I arked up over this is the distributor decided to post his personal email up, I think that is very unprofessional especially over a misunderstanding that was their own fault.

That was my translation as well

"Seems to me the writer is requesting ONE unit that is basically guaranteed to work upon arrival because there is extended ship time."

But someone should have requested clarification if there was any doubt in the translation. A simple check over and revision of the original email from the buyer in the first place would have insured this, if there was any doubt by the seller it should have been followed by a request for that clarification or a confirmation of what they thought the order was.

poor grammar+poor communications=this situation.

Hey, I'm on your side!

He did use it correctly, the fact he didn't use a comma meant he wanted an 'extra special unit' not an 'extra, special unit'. The distributor who posted his PRIVATE email up on a message board interpreted it as if he had put a comma in.

The distributor is in the wrong x2.

I cant believe there is so much debate about what the guy meant. Is this a skyline forum or year 10 english? blink.gif

Anyone worth their salt knows that "extra special" means he wanted sprinkles on it. Nothing more. yes.gif

On topic again. Who elses datalogit has played up and why? How did you fix the problem? Maybe this thread could be useful... yucky.gif

Technically they are my wifes sprinkles. I pinched them out the cupboard while she is at work. I'd better put them back before she gets home or we will al be in very big trouble. All the excuses in the dictionary wont help us then. She is a teacher as well so she could very well hand out detention and then we'd all be f**ked.

Providing the software actually runs and you have no comport/usb issues it shouldn't matter. If the software is old it may not support 64bit that is all I can think of.

I'd just put 32bit XP on there if this is all you are going to use it for, will be a little bit faster if you don't have much RAM.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
