I envy how much land you have and your shed 😊

Yeah country life is the bomb!  I paid $152000 for this block 10 years ago....  2800 square metres which is not huge but plenty for me!  The shed is the first thing I built!  Number one requirement of moving back to the country from Melbourne was a decent shed.  Priorities! :)

I'm enjoying these updates! I don't think I'll ever own a pool so I'm living vicariously through your thread.

And that is one super cute puppy!

Didn't think I ever would to be honest!  Can't wait till summer to finally get some enjoyment out of it after slaving away for the last few months and slopping around in mud!  I've destroyed my body in the process (2 X hernias, ankle is rooted, tweaked my back, etc, etc).  I think it was worth it....

Yeah Ollie (dog) is a bloody legend!  Groodles (Golden Retriever / Standard (tall) Poodle) are an awesome breed.  Don't moult fur, awesome demeanour (super affectionate but good guard dog) and due to their super soft coat they're really nice, soft and fluffy dog to pat.  They do need trimming twice a year and need a bath every now and then as because they don't moult they can get a bit gamey!  Awesome with the kids too.  They dress him up and do all sorts of weird shit to him! 🤣  He just lies of the floor and gives them cuddles.  Loves, no DEMANDS a bloody pat, jesus he's a clinger....  

Other than that, amazingly loyal, affectionate dog!  We'll get another one soon.

More to do with age than effort I think!

I don't think we are too far apart in age!

However hats off to you sir, I would have just paid someone these days. Heck, I paid someone to put a motor into my car because I CBF.

I'm 45, feeling 65 at the moment....

Unfortunately my Dutchness has not yet eroded to the point where I'm capable of paying any one, to do any thing!

I'm hoping the Dutchness starts to wear off more quickly now!  Says the guy that just ordered the dearest and most difficult exhaust material in the world to weld properly....

No photo description available.

I need that shed in my life, all I could fit in my yard was a 6 x 3, it’s nice, but not big enough. 
and I got a 22 year old son that’s also into cars, so I got his shit as well as mine. 
we just installed billet drive shafts into his turbo BRZ. So tomorrow he can help me get the dash pad out of the GTR

Problem with a big shed is you accumulate a LOT of shit. I keep building add ons to my shed to fit more shit...

Main shed is 14x8m, then I added another 3x8m to the right of it.  Then I built another shed down the side of the house for the mower and garden shit, it's about 4x4m.  Then I built another shed off the back of the main shed for concrete mixer, Kubota tractor, rotary hie, etc and its another 11x2.5m.  I've got a lot of sheds on my place....

Can never have too many however! 

Awesome that you can work with your son on cars! Hopefully I trust mine enough one day!

Ha ha, yeah maybe!  I’d rather my kid be into cars than sucking on the glass BBQ!  As they say, if you’re into cars you don’t have any money left for drugs!

My 12 year old son is only just starting to show a bit of interest in my car recently. He loves it when I bring fast Audis home from work but hadn’t really cared about the GTR till recently. A few years ago I took him for a few (brisk…) rides in an RSQ8 we had on loan from Audi head office and since then he’s hooked on speed!  The good speed….

True, cars cost more than your average glass BBQ setup lol...

As humans, we are all addicted to something!

Probably wouldn't mind if my son is into building robots, etc. however he's only 2.5 lol... A while to 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.
