I recall, (i think it was fatz) suggesting a few couriers to get some wheels from Sydney to melbourne.

Doesnt have to be overnight courier or anything, but cheap would be good.

Anyone have any suggestions.... for a lazy $100 im a chance of getting someone i know to backload it on a trip back to Melb, but id rather spend the money and get the rims now, not when he can do it.

Having sent rims interstate before I used Scotts Transport at Revesby. From memory it was $40 for a half pallet. Only catch is you have to drop off and pick up the rims from their depot. But if cheap is your aim it can't be done any cheaper than that.

Ok, found the details anyway. Their melbourne contact details are:

19-21, Link Road, Brooklyn, ph: (03) 9314 4877

and in Sydney:

Scott's Transport 202 - 214 Milperra Road Revesby, NSW ph. (02) 9773 3355

Your rims are ugly anyway, you don't want them...  

But at least they're nicer than Chris's ones :spew:

:)

I prefer to be called ugly then WRXBOY... :Oops: Note to self : Gold was a bad move :throwup:

... i want to be like Steve, got one of his turbos, half the driven wheels he has, and now got lookalike wheels :cheers:

..and thanks mmmGTIR

p.s. Scott's transport told me they don't do small or personal items.

The bar stewards. They've done it for me a few times now. Wheels (a couple of times) and a cat back exhaust once too.

hmmm. I *may* have given them the impression that it was a business thing though. But I sure didn't supply any ABN or anything and I paid in cash.

I posted a set to melb not long ago, about $70 from memory....just get big box :D

The Post Office generally wont accept anything over a certain girth. Can't think of it off the top of my head but it's listed on their site.

I just had to pick up an exhaust system from the post office, a "trainee" accepted it for delivery then the postmaster there had a hissy fit and handed it back. At first they said anything with a dimension larger than 150cm is too big, then he said 100cm....

Need to find a courier asap... if all else fails I'll TNT the sucker.

Still doesn't change the fact that your rims are horrid. Ever wonder why no-one out here has them?

Whose rims...mine, your kidding right, they rule... i like to experiment with colours :P

Scotts wont touch them, but just founf a place called Vic Valley couriers that will do it for $60, an acquanitance (i have no friends because my wheels im told are lame:Oops: ) has used them without probs.

Since they are so ugly you are probably right to wheel them out and leave them on the curb unitlt hey get picked up, they wont get stolen, but their ghastly appearance might drop real estate prices in your streer :Oops:

Yeah, Andrew's rims are the shockers. I can't comment on yours Troy cause Steve's got them too... although now they are the RVR rims. Go the Spastic Van!

Might look different on the car though, have to wait and see. If I'm bored I'll put them on my car :P

    • 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.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
