For whenever I want show plates whilst the car is off a public road > display...

I decided after some help from Mitch - SAU Member - User Name "Mitch_Rona" > DIY

1) Mitch can make up a pair of customised 29cm x 8cm stickers for you for $15

2) A pair of black plastic perspex plates can be cut for you - yes with the rounded corners, whilst taking your stickers there to...

Cain's Glass 8 Peachtree Rd Penrith Ph# 47315386 Cost? $11 for the pair

3) After carefully sticking Mitch's stencil stickers to the plates (& I botched up one), and next removing the the top sheet...

I used Etch Pro spray over the stencil. But you can get a cheapo primer of course.

4) When dry after an hour, you can respray the primer or apply some white (or other colour) enamel paint

I used el cheapo.

5) The next day I removed Mitch's stencil sticker to reveal this...

6) And now to do some measuring > drilling.

NICE PLATES FOR UNDER $30 > Fit into the recessess for Japanese plates I think.

PM Mitch > He'll make up one sticker for $9 or a pair for $15

Drilled and Mounted to-day.

Mitch_Rona can make up a pair of stickers as I said for $15

And if you already have primer and white paint at home, the all up cost is $26 (including cut perspex and sticker stencils by Mitch)

Thanks terry, they came up good.

Alternatively I can just cut you a negative to what I cut for Terry, and you can stick the letters on directly, no need for paint.

Or I can give you the bare cut vinyl, and you either peel out the letters and stick the outer on, or peel off the outer and stick the letters on. You choose.

May I say this as an addendum that when drilling through perspex, it's advisable to use a low speed. This is because when hot, it can become a gelatinous mass rather than escape to the sides.

I agree Eric > great for SAU.NSW (or VIC - or QLD - or SA etc) to display at our tent at LowDown, MegaMeet, CardiGras hehe...

...with a car displaying...

...perhaps? Except that ^^ costs $20/plate eh?

Ignore the cover folks! It's a furphy lol

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • 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.
