It's been AGES since I've last come onto these forums, but I figured this would be the place if any to put this up...

Clearing out my storage boxes, I found my brand new blank Nismo Design Key that I bought from the Nismo Omori Factory in Japan about 10 years ago.

It's completely un-touched, and ready for cutting.

Those who have been looking for one will know how hard these are to find, even more so in a blank, un-cut state.

I have no idea what it's worth today, but using a similar listing on eBay (where they are asking for $680), I'll put mine up here for $500 neg.

In no rush whatsoever to get rid of it, so don't waste your time with low-ball offers... It's been a while since I've visited SAU, but if you look at my post & thread history, you'll see I was a very active member (NSW Exec at one stage).

Hey mate, tried to send a PM but looks like your inbox is full.

I'm interested in this, PM me if you could. Cheers

Sorry about that, didn't even check... inbox should have space now.

Still got it? Cash waiting

Yep... Just dusted it off the other day, these should be as rare as world peace these days, will need to see how many (if any) are still for sale and for what price.

At least $1,000 USD

Thanks.

Due to a recent resurgence in interest, I've taken another look at what's available on the market... there's a grand total of 1 going on ebay for 640GBP which is well over $1k, another forum post suggests 120,000 JPY is not uncommon on Yahoo JP if and when these come up.

I can't seem to update my original post but the price is now $800... expensive for a blank key yes, cheap for a true collectors item and one of the few things that will continue to go up in value if left un-touched.  As such, in absolutely no rush to sell :)

    • 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.
    • 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.
