Don't you mean "KPGC110 Skyline"???

"Ken and Mary" were a 60's and 70's singing duo who were chosen to appear in the early 70's Skylines ads on TV, in magazines and newspapers and that meant that the KPGC110 was nicknamed the "Ken Meri" after the advertisements.

Guys in Japan know don't even know who Ken and Mary are, yet they call the KPGC110 the Ken Meri... go figure.

"It was the commercial song made for the the Nissan skyline that brought fame to "KEN and MERI." I think that when it came out, the image of the TV commercial and the conjointly remarkable effect of the music was felt by many men at the time. Yukihiro Takahashi and composed the lyrics "a sad song not being sung any longer" was a member of YMO along with Masakazu Togo of the photograph above"...

Its also called Ken and Mary coz of the fact that the brochure is titled Ken & Mary for that particular model of GC110. the KH is not the Ken&Mary. Either way, you'll know you have a Ken and Mary if you have a sticker of a red umbrella or the words Ken and Mary as a badge.

From the TV ad... standing with the car are Ken & Mary, the two characters which gave the car its name "Kenmeri"

The tree was called Tree of Ken and Mary. It was named the “Tree of Ken and Mary” in 1972 after the names of the characters in the commercial of Nissan Skyline, in which the tree appeared. Many people must remember the catchphrase, “Skyline of Love.”

My Uncle-in-law Tomohiro told me about the "KenMeri" Skyline first hand... "You know... you know... the line??? The line???", he said. "The split line that goes through the rear wheel arch..." "THATS what people remember the Skyline for..."

He told me about it with some kind of urgency... like he was telling someone who didn't care at all about Skylines of old... even though I was hanging onto every word he said (as any Skyline freak would)... this was the defining factor for me about why I came to Japan.

    • 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.
