getting my R32 4 door on the road...

I have just personally imported the above vehicle. I live in

Tassie so generally there isn't many options when it comes to people that deal with imports so I'm going to ask some questions here.

According to Transport Tas, the only major modification I need to do is australian compliant seatbelts in the vehicle (as well as some other minor stuff...). This is easy I can do this myself. My question is, does anyone know where I can source seatbelts to fit this vehicle? or is it possible to source them from another model car and fit them into the R32?

I haven't taken a good look at the seatbelts yet, but I have a HR31 I may be wrecking I was hoping the seatbelts may be able to swap over...

Cheers

Paul

If I was in your position, I'd just put the r32 items in (if they fit) and get it over the pits with them (because they are most likely going to be ADR compliant, as its an Aus released car...) and then swap the old ones back in.

How easy do you guys have it over there?! Don't you have to do intrusion bars, child points etc??

Well, apparently 2 weeks ago we didn't even have to do seat belts either, but now we do :D Slowly they are bringing us into line with Victoria, so next is intrusion bars etc... I want to get it on the road before i have to do more crap to it!!

Anyhow, some contacts for possible seat belt purchase would be good, i'd rather have it done properly rather than doing a dodgy and swapping back to the jap ones... however either or is fine with me in the end, i just want to get it regged :rofl:

If you just want it regged, then go the swap-swap method. The Jap belts are perfectly good. But i cant really offer any contacts for you as I dont know what outlets u have in tassie, perhaps the equivalent of Supercheap/Repco, or maybe even order direct from Klippan?

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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.
