I'd rather having insurance and searching forever for 'perfect' car than not having insurance at all...

That way I'm able to sleep at night knowing I'm covered.

That's just me, you can put security system to shame Fort Knox and someone will find a way to steal it, unfortunately it's the way it is nowdays.

u wot m8? I never said you shouldn't have insurance, i just said that your comment of insure it and who gives a f**k if it gets stolen is wrong and you should still be paranoid about your car getting stolen, because it will take you forever to find a car like the one you had (unless you had a piece of shit before hand)

As for finding 'perfect' car differs to everybody.

One might want to go OCD, other would go with reasonable condition.

Each to their own, I'm just saying anyone's car can get stolen anywhere, in any way (carjacking, flat bed, good 'ol break and Hotwire etc).

Like I said, if people want to steal your car, they will. But that's for another topic.

*sighs*

It's up to you whether you want to be paranoid or not about your car.

That is what insurance is for amongst other things such as being covered should idiots out on the road hits you etc... Which I'm sure you know this.

It's a attitude I chose with my car. If it happen to me, well, shit happens.

Your whole attitude towards it is wrong. Might aswell never lock my car and leave my keys in the ignition because i have insurance right? Who gives a f**k if it gets stolen.

Of course i know of this, my last gtr got stolen, my new one i bought had someone try break into it 2nd day i had it and i got rear ended 3rd time driving it. I have been without my gtr for about 3 and a bit weeks now because some top bloke fell asleep at the wheel. Don't worry about the inconvenience on missing out on drives with my mates and other shit though because i have insurance................. -_-

With the shit that has happened to me with my cars and the area i live in i will ALWAYS be paranoid as f**k, as everyone should be.

wait till the vilella brothers get to his joint. his views on getting his car stolen will change. Theres a guy in my street that chains his gtr at night by chains i mean he loops it on both the rear tyres. the only way to get through it is to grind it cause conventional bolt cutters wont work.

Simple solution move or stop buying nice cars !

Also leaving you car unlocked and leaving keys in the ignition voids your insurance

insurance doesnt have to know your car was unlocked and keys were in the ignition.

Hahaha i know right? You need to do that these days to keep the car from those speds. My cars stay in the garage these days and the dog sleeps in there too now, just in case they get in and he gets a bit hungry lol

I must say,after seeing that map,would've thought there would have been more,much more out west.

Great idea and great work!..........now it's off to bed with my new Redbull drift series t-shirt!

I'm a lucky gal.

Night guys x

Oh and a BIG kiss on the bonnet of my V35 baby!

Need to set one up with a GPS tracker and leave it on the street in a semi industrial area of the north west. Would just be a matter of time before it's taken, then call the rozzers and track it, would probably end up at the same place as half the other stolen skylines.

The same rozzers that caught the guy that stole my car who is still out and about stealing cars? -_-

Haha ain't that the way. But do 4km/h over the speed limit and they'll fight tooth and nail to make you pay the fine :)

    • 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.
