I was reading through the club reg info

And I'm curious as to who I see to do a

vass? Vehicle assesment signatory scheme

And what's involved with the sign off?

Anyone else club registered there highly modified

Cars lately??

Make sure you get it done if your going club reg.

I have a Hwy patrol mate/regular customer who talked me out of getting club rego.

Apparently their squad pick on them and view it as a reason to pull it over and go over it, looking for something out of place due to club regos being abused by some with modded cars.

He told me to leave mine on normal rego as they had less reason to suspect something, as long as it looks in line from the outside they wont have a reason to pick on it if im driving normally.

so if you car is modified and club rego now..

you still need a full RWC and a engineers certs for any mods.

however unlike regular rego you now get a "M" club rego plate which lets every cop on the road know your car is modified.

When i asked the Hwy patrol mate, it was a week before the new scheme was starting, i was looking to jump on the bandwagon and take advantage of the old system slackness.

Even he personally had a car on club rego (old system), in his case he only took it out a few times a year so he took advantage of the cheap rego.

He told me the new system changes not much in their eyes last i spoke to him (lately), its still club rego or a mod plate, either way its a plate that they see as "not normal", like waving a red flag at a bull, or baiting a shark.

I always have a laugh when he comes over, GTR is parked in the corner, PC Desk top screen is of a identical looking GTR launching at the drags, last time he was over he had this look like he was going to pull out his gun and start firing at the PC monitor. :)

He tells me they have one or two particular Hwy patrol officers at their branch who specialize in Skylines, they went out of their way to know them like the back of their hands, can spot a mod from a mile away. (so he says)

One thing for sure is they certainly don't like them, especially in young hands.

But then their effortless research leads them to fall in love with skylines...

thats some well informed insight. i guess this game of cat and mouse is an endless circle :dry:

    • 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.
