yeah i wouldn't mind a PM of who it was as well cos i've had some dodgy work done on my car in the last 3 months. I've had an engine being built for the last 12 months. Things pop up that take time to sort out. Being a race engine builder means they probably race cars so that takes up a bit of time too... I just hope they don't forget who the engine belongs to and i end up getting it!!! lol

Sorry. Didn't mean to intrude in that way, I was just commenting generally on the paranoia associated with this subject.

Also, I come from Melbourne, still spend time there and would like to move back if I can secure a well paid enough job.

Also, I am a Barrister's Clerk so I am not speaking completely out of my arse.

Also, I stand by what I said.

Shinsei, PM me with the details also please.

Since this was supplied with all the bits, there is no reason 3 weeks wasn't achievable, the machining taking the most time of a week. Workshops are just being stupid or greedy if they take work they can't complete, but just send the name of the place to those interested as some of these tuning shops have plenty of groupies, regardless of the fact they are often allowing themselves to be yanked about and paying for the privelege. I may be a bit tough, but I learnt it managing multi mill contracts, and there are nio friends in business, so I establish a reasonable time frame with the supplier and apply penalty rates if the work is not completed on time (unless an agreed extension has been awarded due to circumstance). Penalty rates (loss of final payable bill amount) buys some pretty good communication, believe me, or the slack places see the writing on the wall and won't take the work. Either way they are exposed and the customer is protected.

I've done a lot of engine rebuilds, usually in larger well managed factory workshops (Toyota), and they lose customers if they take too long so I can see the farce when a place offers to do it in the reasonable time frame and then takes 4 times longer to complete.

I'm siding with Bob on the legality issues, but there is no reason to plaster the name everywhere. The interested people will ask.

Nothing political is going to arise from a post like this unless its posted in the thread who it was... PMing people isnt going to cause an issue.

Its called an obvious observation and being around this club and many other forums these types of threads generally are raised to cause shit which is why the obvious question was raised.

Asking for a name of a place and not receiving an answer also makes it a little more suspicious... so no i am not.

Have u tried sending him a pm and asking him personally?? It might just help by doing that.

well u know too? why cant u? thats not the point... im not here to argue but if u do like that i can recommend a couple of forums where the whole idea is to waste time and show how every post is a waste of time...

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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.
