hey guys, i'm looking for a trustworthy good workshop in hornsby area to install a few gauges / boost controller in my cefiro (and give it a service), anyone got any recommendations for shops / staff to talk to?

cheers

not sure about the Hornsby area for mechanical work but if you wanted to right person to do the job surely you're prepared to travel within sydney?

i have no issue with travelling, however for convenience (i work in hornsby) I thought there might be a decent workshop around here considering how many mechanics there are located around here...

I went out to Advan on the weekend, they look very professional out there...

I also went to powerplay, (which is close to my house) how do they rate?

I will look into unique too.

thanks for the fast replies fellas.

Haven't used em but QuickFit in horsnby look like they are a very busy mob.

I went in there once and noticed a VL with a custom intercooler kit ( i assume they did) and it looked the goods!

As far as tuning goes, they like their autronics. Might be worth a call anyway.

fair enough :D

were you the guy who came to powerplay wanting the oil cooler???

no, i came in looking for an apillar gauge holder (oops sorry that was two weekends ago not last weekend).

You work there?

I used Quick Fit with my old R31 GTSX, they are very good with ECUs and tuning, actually they are the NSW AUtronic Agent and is a recognised and repsected tuner. That and they do plenty of custom engine transplants so mechanical/electrical things dont scare them.

Steve is definitely worth a try, or at least a conversation to see if he is the workshop for you

i gave them a call today, booked in for friday. will post up how it went if I go through with the work.

yeh I remember you coming in now..

yeh I work there part time

well in that case, I left a message that same afternoon on your phone requesting to be booked in for a service and the install of the parts i mentioned, left both of my numbers and never got a call back (two weeks ago). my phone is always on and with me so I am sure i never got a call back. I did however get really good service (joanne I think it was) and advice when i was in store. Might want to make sure there is some quality control with return calls as it lots you a few hundred dollars worth of business (I decided if they cant call me back they dont want my business). Not having a beef, just letting you know for future customers sake.

cheers

    • 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.
