Understand frustration around extended timeframes in compliance but i'd take a moment before rushing into demanding phone calls. Pretty sure they won't give you the car until the bill is paid, and a rational conversation will get you a lot further than a Jordan Belfort effort.

Cheers Tats

Not the type of person to call and demand stuff anyways, the conversation I had with Iron Chef was very civil.

I cop enough of that in customer service and find it gets you hardly anywhere.

Just got off a lengthy call to Iron Chef and it's currently all bad news with no time frames.

It seems DOTARS has decided to audit the shop and select my car personally for an audit.

mate I'm sorry to hear that you are the unlucky one, and it is hard not to wonder if DOTARS monitor forums and decided to go after you....

And I understand the pain because my Cima was held up for ages in compliance too....every week I had to get into the wrong car to drive down here was a PITA.

BUT.....in the end you decided to import a car yourself instead of buying something locally. You almost certainly paid far less and got a much better car than you if you bought locally. The risk of course is that you are taking on any delays and unexpected costs, and in this case you have been unlucky.

It really is neither your broker nor your compliancer's fault that there has been a delay; you've just been unlucky this time.

In the end, you did have a choice to go to Parramatta Rd and buy some R grade car with a wound back odometer at top dollar, but you could have taken it home the same day.

Easter cruise!!! :P

Not sure about Happenings over the Weekend as in Family get togethers etc but I did think this...

I'm sure he would like to witness some awesomeness... Maybe a Sinista joy ride? :D

Wait I could have gone and seen those guys and picked up a R grade for the same price?! Damn I missed out :P

As everyone has been saying the wait is going to be well worth it.

Got some good news that I might be shipped off to NZ for 3 months to help train some new staff so fingers crossed that goes ahead because the South African one didn't

Wow! this job of yours almost lets you see the world.

Almost. :laugh:

Best my job offers is the multicultural aspect... ie. we have, Irish, Italian, Israeli, Sri Lankan, Croatian, Latvian, Mexican, German and the Loverly Russian Chick - Tatiana... Nom nom nom. :P

lol! When I used to work at maccas we had a cleaner chick called Tatiana.. She was a little bit crazy and definitely was not nom noms.. :/

EDIT: And when I say crazy i mean she used to speak to herself and yell things...

I think my younger brother is starting to look into buying a GTR, R32 of course. This makes me excited.

Pretty sure he is gonna look at his finances to see if needs to sell his Audi or keep it as a daily.

Then to find one here or import, after Dan's case I'm a little worried :/

If you do try using Jspec might be "easier" mine was hassleless but then again things change. Choose Melbourne as your delivery port these less cars to be complianced that side unlike NSW where they probably complicance for other states without a port.

    • 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.
