Martin what are your nuts made of?

If they're too soft (like cheap alloy ones) then they love to mangle themselves and fk up the thread of the stud.

I'd almost rather have a mangled stud than a mangled nut, since its easy to pop into a shop and pick up a single stud than it is to pick up a single MATCHING nut :P

Edit: Actually quite enjoyed changing a stud in the motel carpark at DECA, was a lot less painful than I thought it was going to be... Do S14's have little cutout areas behind the stud like 33s have, so you can bash it out and remove it without taking the whole assembly apart?

Only painful part was not having a hammer with me, so ended up using Anna and Luke's towbar :P Swung that shit like a baws...

yEAh the recheck is the trick...nip em up easy and recheck ...old man thought me years ago to do them up real tight, he would stand on the f**kers..so i would do this but I learnt over the years this was because he had a shit house wrench...add some decent leverage into the equation and they jus

Love JW black platts....especially at that price....not too fancy but not too shit either...its just right...specially with some dry ginger and ice...

I'm on the Bundy and coke zero tho tonight

In other news, Scotty ran right over my Nokia today in his whale..there was kumho tyres marks on it and all so i know it was him....

I had to defibrillatorize it a few times with my fist, but it Still works :D

yeah that said i did get a 25$ torque wrench form supercheap that does make a good wheel wrench...the fact it is a torque wrench is just a bonus

If something requires a torque wrench, I wouldn't be trusting a $25 one for the job.

+ 1 for using logic for everything else... I use a 60cm breaker bar, just a little tug on the end of it gets them to a good tightness, not overdoing it but def not coming off... Just keep those damn tyre shop rattle guns set to 10/10 away from my car and things will be alright...

Nokia tried to commit suicide, due to owner being a hack. :P

I can't believe it still works after being run over by 2ton of whale, twice. All hail the new Nokia brick.

Hey.

Anyone know anywhere where one can purchase something f**king mundane, possibly the most mundane of all Skyline bits.

A R34 N/A Series 1 Grey Front bar?

Bonus points for a rear bar and skirts, for a sedan.

Surely these must be lying in piles somewhere.

but where?

    • 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.
