**warning, warning, newbie newbie**

Just worked up the courage for my 1st post/thread, have been a

silent observer on SDU since oct 2001 and here on

skylinesaustralia from the beginning. I met MyGtst earlier

this year on my way home from my old job and caught up

with Diabolik1 and 88silouette last Sunday on the R31 club cruise.

I had a ball with all who went and look forward to meeting as many people as I can who also share the same passion for these remarkable automobiles as I do. I have owned a black R32 GTS-t since January with a few mods that won't be lonely for long! I don't know why I haven't posted untill now but this is definitely the first of many and I look forward to meeting as many of you and your cars as possible.

see you all soon

Rhys

unfortunately my girlfriend was born on the 3rd of

November and as the saying goes man, "Hell hath no fury...."

but I will be there in spirit. Hey I should be free from now until the 3rd

if there are any other crooze's that may happen. My brother has a kickass

R31 coupe that is about 1/2 to 1 carlength quicker than me (bastard) and I'll let him know.

Hi everybody,

I am also a new member, have also been reading the boards for a while but only registered today. I am Skylarks little bro by the way. I own a 1987 skyline import with minor mods. It would be good to get to know some fellow skyline enthusiasts. :uh-huh:

hey mygtst, it took me a while to get up the nerve, dunno why? Bad news dude, all those hoses and fittings you wanted me to get for you, no can do mate, I am no longer working at the truck joint sorry.:) But my new career will prove far more lucrative for the little R32.

Hope we'll catch up soon

Rhys.

    • Hey guys, I’m a veteran detailer with years of hands-on experience. I’ll be sharing quick, effective detailing tips to help you keep your Skyline (or any ride) looking its best. Got a question? Fire away!
    • I guess when I say it's a POS I mean.. the solution and the stuff has the capacity for maybe... 1 spot. You know, as a spot cleaner. What I really *want* is the ability to do an entire car, all upholstery, all carpet, mats, all seats, door card inserts, A pillars, roof liners, etc. In one go. I get lured by all the jank that comes out and think "I'd like to be able to clean to that degree"
    • I've got one (not the car one, the domestic spot cleaner one, which is basically the same jobbie) and have driven it hard for hours and hours at a time. Grimy sofas, 6' floor rugs, etc. I'd blame your specific example rather than the whole category. I haven't used mine in the car, because.... you know, it's my car. So there is no-one else's ball sweat in the driver's seat, there's no kid food/drink spills or hand prints inside because they've never had an opportunity to put them there. You know, basic, standard Skyline rules.
    • I normally run with I think a 10mm, and definitely use the second handle you can add to a drill. They hurt when they bins up!   For the crush tube, once all subframe is clear, I'd try some stilsons and see if I can get it to start to twist.
    • Probably because they couldn't, because the use of the variable resistor to create a "signal" in the ECU is managed by the ECU's circuitry. The only way that VDO could do it would be if they made a "smart" sensor that directly created the 0-5V signal itself. And that takes us back to the beginning. Well, in that case, you could do the crude digital (ie, binary, on or off) input that I mentioned before, to at least put a marker on the trace. If you pressed the button only at a series of known integer temperatures, say every 2°C from the start of your range of interest up to whatever you can manage, and you know what temperature the first press was at, then you'd have the voltage marked for all of those temperatures. And you can have more than one shot at it too. You can set the car up to get the oil hot (bypass oil coolers, mask off the air flow to oil coolers, and/or the radiator, to get the whole engine a bit hotter, then give it a bit of curry to get some measurements up near the top of the range.   On the subject of the formula for the data you provided, I did something different to Matt's approach, and got a slightly different linear formula, being Temp = -22.45*V + 118.32. Just a curve fit from Excel using all the points, instead of just throwing it through 2 points. A little more accurate, but not drastically different. Rsquared is only 0.9955 though, which is good but not great. If you could use higher order polynomials in the thingo, then a quadratic fit gives an excellent Rsquared of 0.9994. Temp = 2.1059*V^2 - 34.13*V + 133.27. The funny thing is, though, that I'd probably trust the linear fit more for extrapolation beyond the provided data. The quadratic might get a bit squirrely. Hang on, I'll use the formulae to extend the plots.... It's really big so you can see all the lines. I might have to say that I think I really still prefer the quadratic fit. It looks like the linear fit overstates the temperature in the middle of the input range, and would pretty solidly understate what the likely shape of the real curve would say at both ends.
