Welcome to SAU....how long until you get to see the car?

Hi Duncan,

I picked up the car in August last year.

Just swapped out the old suspension for some basic BC's and started driving it.

Welcome

Thanks GTSBoy for reporting this lowlife.

On investigation this is another scammer. They have sent 2 PMs to people as follows:

To Marzoum - Hi Mate, a member of the forum have some BNR32 Front driver side (right) abs sensor for sale. He goes by "oktaytrz" here, you can reach him at [email protected]

To cabramatta - Hi Mate, a member of the forum have some R34 GTT Manual Gearbox for sale. He goes by "oktaytrz" here, you can reach him at [email protected] 

Well constructed really, because oktaytrz is a long term, previously active but now inactive member, and by redirecting them to the scammer's email instead of the real members email it may well be effective phishing.

Please be cautious of any PM directing you to an off forum email, of course we have no visibility of what happens outside the forums.

Seems to be not the first time for that guy @Duncan. Was successful before as well. See the below post where he was redirecting to the same email. I like to believe there is a special place in hell for people like that.

@PranK put in a post limit before messaging but looks like that doesn't really help. Just invites cheap posts on welcome topics. Not sure what can help here. Maybe a warning when opening private messages?

Yeah I had mentioned to Duncan that limiting messages is a little tricky but that this has happened again I'll get this done in the next few days.

And yes @soviet_merlin I'll put a warning banner on the top of the messages screen, nice idea! :thumbsup:

    • 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.
