I wouldn't get too agro on the day, we don't want low life scum for sure, but we do want more members and ppl who think skylines r kewl. Who knows, we may get someone selling their commonwhore or falcoon and joining the import fraternity.

'More bees to honey than vinegar'.

But weeding out the scum, how do we do it??? its a hard one, maybe a Breaker Morant 'rule .303' is the G-O.

I think it would be fairly easy?

Since nearly everyone coming would be in a skyline themselves then they would only have friends with them and I'd imagine they were trustworthy.

I'm paranoid though. Always get worried when I see people checking out my 34. :rofl:

Back to the photo shoot:here's a heads-up for anyone wanting to take photos this weekend that aren't as knowledgable as gtir_94(not a p##s-take-his photos came out pretty good,I reckon):go and get the current issue of SPEED magazine.In the middle there's a section all about do's and don'ts of photo taking when it comes to cars...penned by some of the good mag' phtographers themselves.Might help us out a bit,I guess.

And as for lowlife thieving scumbags,maybe as a friendly gesture,when we're standing next to someone we don't know by face looking at various cars,introduce yourself!I pretty sure we all have a grasp on SAU nicknames/names/"handles".Not only will we be able to say "G'day" personally to people we only know in cyber-Skyline-space,but it might just spook off these idiots if we meet 'em face to face..."I'm LTS Jayce;and you are...?"

haha i remember, at the pizza night at APK iu turned up early, and andrew (GTS_DUY) and me where out the front for about 30 seconds waiting before we realised and introduced ourselves. it was pretty funny!!

There ya go gtir_94, the film crew can now film your car being towed hahahaha

Been there man, had ABC TV do some filming of me getting defected as part of the police/rtas 'Summer Blitz' of 2003.

Wasn't impressed, particularly when the inspector told me I was 93dB, but once I got to work and looked at the defect notice he put I was 110dB.

With gangs and stuff as suggested, thats the reason I think a few guys, including myself now, keep what they got under the bonnet close to their hearts, and not become show-ponies the moment someone takes a little interest.

Doing it later in the afternoon will save me a world of trouble with the g/f... am scheduled in to spend time with her parents/grandparents in Syd that morning - she doesn't like the idea of me ditching that for a car photo shoot!

My vote is for any time after say 3pm.

I say we meet up at 1PM, go for cruise to the cotter have the BBQ and then investigate the photos (would be almost 3pm by then). Also the showers are meant to be clearing sunday morning, so fingers crossed.

Sorry guys, as much as i want the sun, and to not think of the rain, i just heard on the radio that saturday will be like 17 with a bit of sun. Then showers developing in the afternoon. for sunday they will continue, and also a chance of snow! :S

So it aint sound good, But ALL fingers crossed for that sweet sun to break throu

I say we meet up at 1PM, go for cruise to the cotter have the BBQ and then investigate the photos (would be almost 3pm by then).  Also the showers are meant to be clearing sunday morning, so fingers crossed.

Ummm...should we still stick to the 12 o'clock meeting point(the Flags)as we've all been on about for the last 3 weeks?Only that we may trip up a few people if we change it to 1.Then we can Barby/eat/tell stories before doing misd arvo' photos?

yeah pm me for my number.

i already have tridents and i'll call him asap, sunday morning.

worst comes to worst and it pisses down we can always go for a cruise somewhere and have lunch.

would be a shame to waste the day after so much effort and planning.

    • 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.
