Just for Dean, got this in e-mail:

Real men of the world, stand up, scratch your arse, burp, and yell

"ENOUGH!" I hereby announce the start of a new offensive in the culture

Wars, the Retrosexual movement. "

The Code:

A Retrosexual man, no matter what the women insists, PAYS FOR THE DATE.

A Retrosexual DEALS with IT, be it a flat tyre, break-in into your

home, or a natural disaster, you DEAL WITH IT.

A Retrosexual not only eats red meat, he often kills it himself.

A Retrosexual doesn't worry about living to be 90. It's not how long

you live, but how well. If you're 90 years old and still smoking cigars and

drinking, I salute you. If you are still having sex, you are a God.

A Retrosexual does not use more hair or skin products than a woman.

Women have several supermarket aisles of stuff. Retrosexuals need deodorant

and shaving gear - that's it!!

A Retrosexual does not dress like a homeboy with baggy pants that look like

he's shat himself, or with a gay chain from pocket to pocket. If wearing a

hat, wear it correctly - not on the side like a top bloke. Blokes and

necklaces (unless you are an Australian fast bowler) are out!

A Retrosexual should know how to properly kill stuff (or people) if

need be. This falls under the "Dealing with IT" portion of The Code.

A Retrosexual watches no TV show with "Queer" in the title.

A Retrosexual does not let neighbours screw up rooms in his house on

national TV.

A Retrosexual should not give up excessive amounts of manliness for

women. Some is inevitable, but major reinvention of yourself will only

lead to you becoming a handbag carrying little puss, and in the long run,

she ain't worth it.

A Retrosexual is allowed to seek professional help for major mental

stress such as drug/alcohol addiction, death of your entire family in a

freak BBQ accident, favourite sports team being moved to a different

city, favourite dog expiring, etc. You are NOT allowed to see a shrink

because Daddy didn't pay you enough attention. Daddy was busy DEALING

WITH IT. When you screwed up, he DEALT with you.

A Retrosexual will have at least one outfit in his wardrobe designed to

conceal himself from prey.

A Retrosexual knows how to tie a Windsor knot when wearing a tie -- and

ONLY a Windsor knot.

A Retrosexual should have at least one good wound he can brag about

getting. This does not include males who have had cosmetic surgery.

A Retrosexual knows how to use a basic set of tools. If you can't

hammer a nail, or drill a straight hole, practice in secret until you can

--

or be rightfully ridiculed for the wuss you are.

A Retrosexual knows that owning a gun is not a sign that your are

riddled with fear, guns are TOOLS and are often essential to DEAL WITH

IT. Plus it's just plain fun to fire one off in the direction of those

people or

things that just need a little "wakin' up".

Crying. There are very few reasons that a Retrosexual may cry, and none

of them have to do with TV commercials, movies, or soap operas. Sports

teams are sometimes a reason to cry, but the preferred method of

release is swearing or throwing the remote control. Some reasons a

Retrosexual can cry include (but are not limited to) death of a loved one,

death of a

pet (fish do NOT count as pets in this case), loss of a major body part, or

loss of major body part on your Holden ute.

When a Retrosexual is on a crowded bus and or a commuter train, and a

pregnant woman, heck, any woman gets on, that retrosexual stands up and

offers his seat to that woman, then looks around at the other so-called

men still in their seats with a disgusted "you rude pricks" look on his

face.

A Retrosexual will have hobbies and habits his wife and mother do not

understand, but that are essential to his manliness, in that they

offset the acceptable manliness decline he suffers when married/engaged or

in

a serious healthy relationship - i.e., hunting, boxing, shot putting,

shooting, cigars, car maintenance and drinking piss with the boys.

A Retrosexual knows how to sharpen his own knives and kitchen utensils.

A Retrosexual man can chop down a tree and make it land where he wants.

Wherever it lands is where he bloody well wanted it to land. Except on

his ute--that would happen because of a "force of nature", and then the

retrosexual man's options are to Cry, or to DEAL with IT, or do both.

A Retrosexual will give up his seat on a bus to not only any women but

any elderly person or person in military dress (except 2nd Lt's) NOTE:

The person in military dress may turn down the offer but the Retrosexual

man will ALWAYS make the offer to them and thank them for serving their

country.

A Retrosexual man doesn't need a contract -- a handshake is good

enough.

A Retrosexual man doesn't immediately look to sue someone when he does

something stupid and hurts himself. We understand that sometimes in the

process of doing things we get hurt and we just DEAL WITH IT!

I've seen a fair few getting around...its only been happening over the last few months. Must be the in thing!

Over the weekend just been I saw quite a few in S13's.

I even lined a chick up in an 180sx, she wasnt keen. Then she came next to me sounding her BOV, which to me indicated she wanted a re-match. The lights infront went orange and she ran them! :(

Yeah i ran a pretty hot lookin chick with a hot passenger in a stock CA 180 she was all smiles even tho she got beaten she was still happy gave it a good thrash she did.

Good to see the chicks getting out there and givin it a go :(

    • 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.
