Sure it's disgusting about the driver.

But what's makes me even more sick is everyone just wandering around, driving past, going to look and walking off, etc etc. no one even touches the old bloke to see if he's ok.

It is not that no one gives a shit about the guy on the road... it is that people are affraid to help in case they find themselves in a court case for touching him... it has happened before in the US.

so it is lawyers and court systems that have helped create this issue... and not just the US either guys, it happens here also

I feel so sorry that that could have been me lying there with...

* No-one to take my pulse

* No-one to ask if I wanted someone to be contacted

* No-one to let me know that an ambo had been called

* No-one to just even hold my hand

that's a very terrible thought indeed Terry.

I'm trained in First Aid and when we had our class our trainer told us things are very different in the US and its also starting to happen here. He told us people feel violated if you help them and some people will threaten legal action. An example which happened in Australia he told us about, someone had passed out, had a heart attack. A first aid trained person was around and performed CPR and did the usual stuff. A rib was fractured and the guy who had the heart attack made a recovery then sued the person who helped him.

You do a good deed and some people will not see it like that. If I was there, sorry I would not touch the person, I would call an ambulance.

The driver in the other car(regardless of car), should have stayed. He was not at fault but leaving the scene was not a good move at all.

These days you try to do something good and you gotta think if its gonna swing back and bite you. I had a major car accident last year, plenty of other cars saw it. No one bothered to get out and ask if I needed help, no one bothered to come forward as a witness, no one bothered with anything.

Unfortunately this is true. I hear about these things all the time.

Yes the driver should have stayed. No questions about that.

It is sad we do live in a society (country is irrelevant) when even the person doing the right thing is held accountable.

An obvious example which is similar as mentioned is doctors/hospitals.

To add to that, i myself have come forward as a witness to someone being hit by a car, and i said i would never do it again...

i was treated very poorly by the police and the whole process was rediculous... i had to take time off work at my expense, back then i was casual, to make reports, then to go to court for 2 days just in case i was called, to then be asked one question, then recieve 'compensation' of $40 for all the hours i lost from work and uni...

so what did i get for helping out, a slap in the face as far as i am concerned, i know it is the right thing to do and help, but when they make you feel like a criminal and it starts to cost you income and stress on how to pay bills it makes you think twice the second time....

It still boils to doing what is right!

And there's a chasm of difference between doing what is right Vs doing only enough to not put yourself at threat and rationalising it into a cozy justification.

Again in the U.S. many First Aid Courses involve a Plan B where you do not commit to CPR and thus, only do compressions.

      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.
