I feel your pain, that's happened to me not once, but TWICE!! :rant: If the gap below your boot is a little larger than normal, you'll probably find that the beaver panel will be bent. Also check the outer edges of the taillight assemlies, they'll break their seal to the rear 3/4 guards if the middle of the car was hit hard enough. If they need to do panelwork and not just replace/repair the bar, expect the bill to come to around $1500. Not that it really matters cos you're not paying for it anyway :)

Sorry to hear it... Hope the damage isn't too serious.

Some advice for the future... If sitting on traffic light and seeing a car behind you coming up... dab your brake pedal a couple times and hold it... Your brake light might bring into the other driver's attention if he/she happens to be a little bit day dreaming or thinking you're moving.

yea it aint all to serious and she has called and said for me to take it to sum garage (which i cant remember the name of right now( in collingwood on friday. She is paying for it all so woteva needs to be fixed comes out of her pocket. But yea i have actually had water creeping into my rear right indicator, so that cant be a good thing............

That's fux0red dude..... same thing happened to me a few years ago in my 200sx (on Chapel st mind you :P) some d!cksnap in a clubsport wasn't looking in front of him... the traffic was moving very slowly, i braked because the car in front of me had stopped. This guy behind kept going and just tapped my D-Speed rear bar and cracked it, pushed the boot in a bit too.... the repair quote was over $3k. Silly me only took his mobile number, the guy tried to change mobile numbers on me to avoid paying, but i found out where he lived and called him at home.. he ended up going through insurance when he found out the cost. he was expecting it to be under 1 grand.... I said this isn't a commodore buddy, and I have a pearl paint job :)

I'd recommend Corso Body Works in South Melbourne.. Speak to Sam. They are authorised jaguar repairers and also do repairs for Shannons Insurance. Not the cheapest, but they definitely do a top job :cheers:

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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.
