LOL

Painting over rust? wtf are you talking about Benny? The only rust on that car was in the spare wheel well, a small section of surface rust which I showed the owner at purchase time. That was left unpainted. There was also surface rust on the strut brace I think? 

My towers were just the factory paint, the guards and Bonnet I had re-done because they had been done poorly in my opinion, Silver needs to be done a certain way, oh they were also fibreglass, so definitely full of rust lol

Plus the front bumper was black, and fibreglass.... so I had it colour matched. The boot was also black, which I also had colour matched. Previous owner had them painted black because he liked it that way, not my taste but OK. The difference was I personally inspected the car and I actually know what rust, painted rust, and crash damage are, which is why I bought this and not one of the many others I looked at. How did you personal inspection go Benny? I also didn't claim it was pristine, despite being a lot cleaner than this example.

I have this one on hand of the bay, the others are on a drive, but I'll dig around and see if I can find something better.

Found my inspection folder, here' some of the pics I posted in my build thread where I was whinging about things that needed love. Not a grade 4.5, not pristine, just another old jap car. 

But shit, Fatz was right, I did remove the radiator supports, clean up the surface rust and paint them black. 

You f**king got me Fatz lol

Dan, small things amuse small minds. I'll make you an offer, you pay for a camera crew and a hoist and you can go nuts, form an opinion & post your panel gap inspection on SAU. I personally think you are a moron so it would be best to get a panel beater to make comment. The whole car has a ground-up rebuild by a GT-R specialist, with full history and the paint HAS NOT BEEN TOUCHED. There is no rust through seams, DONE. Everything underneath barely even has a speck of dust on it.

Anyway, go have a fap over this one mate - guarantee you'd think it was immaculate because it's repainted and re-seamed. People like you are the reason tarted up and slapped together cars sell for 100k+ , this sold for 130k : ) 

 

 

Keen to post anything but actual decent photos of your own pristine car, very telling. 

Avoided Micko's post of your actual car, also very telling. 

Anyway, I'm done, I think everyone is well aware you're going out of your way to make the car out to be something it's not, who knows why, resale maybe? street cred? I can't work out if you're genuinely that deluded or your just special needs, either is fine, you do you mate. 

""Love your car, it's yours and you will make it awesome, but please stop trying to make it out to be some rare gem."

A bit of rust converter and some paint and she'll be apples mate. Also please post more stupid videos of you dancing, they are f**king hilarious :D




 

Dan, as I said, bring your camera crew if you want to see it sooner. Any time you are welcome. I'm already in talks with a production company about doing a video for it, so again go f**k yourself, you're a 40 year old virgin, go have a fap mate because you sure as f**k won't pull women anytime soon pal

Well, that escalated... can't we all get along?

For what its worth the LM has small rust spots on some things; bonnet strut/holder, the bonnet catch and bracket have surface rust and also a spot about the size of a 10cent coin under the rear glass above the boot, right in the middle. The rust in the rear has been fixed and painted previously, but just knowing it's there hurts. 

If I remember i'll take a picture of it. 

The Silver GTR though... can't see any rust. ?
It might actually be rust free (except for the brake discs). Cue people telling me to drive them. lol

Benny turning into his profile display pic more and more every day. King DON keyboard warrior.

Also please post some pics of your pristine car, or maybe @Mick_o could post them on your behalf.

    • 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.
