RC-F or something? 

I like the Q60 Red sport, but the depreciation on a brand new luxury car would be pretty horrendous. 

Sure, cars costs money, but I am too much of a jew to to piss that kind cash up the wall. Would rather have 2 cars instead. 

Lexus (RC-F) much heavier with less torque available and a smaller power band with a conventional auto =\ 

Doesn't seem that appealing, but as with everything hard to know unless you drive it.

Conventional auto more appealing to me. Easier to service/maintain, and youre not completely f**ked and relying on dealerships if something goes wrong. If its a bit sluggish, someone probably makes a shift kit for them. Bobs your uncle.

Look at us being all old and discussing autos lol

That's how I know I'm old... 

I hate autos as much as the next broad minded person. But when you like a car and it only comes in auto... Do what you gotta do

Just quietly the M4 is a ground up built road car, that they have "tweaked" into a performance car. 

The GTR was a ground up build to go around a track as fast as possible, whilst being street legal.

Yeah I get that, they're very different cars. It's more an indication of my changing tastes.

 

As has been pointed out before though, by Leeroy I think, I talk a lot and am very indecisive. While all this was going on I was still buying parts for the 34 an just dropped it off to the tuner yesterday so I'm not "sold' on any 1 direction. 

I'll just keep trying to win lotto :)

Hah, nah the 1 and 2 series don't do it for me. 

I did consider selling the 34, selling the S13 and just buying a really well developed track car and a good trailer :D

The 1 series M that i got to drive was better than the M3 that i drove of the same era ;)

I got some good feedback on the M2 and admittedly haven't driven it because aesthetically it doesn't stir my loins. 

fair enough, aesthetics are important.

I got a 2013 c63 with performance pack for the mrs back in January. This thing has no problems keeping up with 350kw gtr's. You will love the low down tourqe (as this is what sold me on it in the first place). Sounds heaps better than an m4 and is practical with 4 doors. Take one for a drive if you enjoyed the r35 power delivery.

    • 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.
