Hey everyone,

Ive been workin bulkload theses holidays to fix up my car and get it up to the condition which im happy with. I hate drivin my car right now cuz it honestly looks like a thrashed whore. Work to be done is:

400r bumper being fitted + painted etc.

400r sideskirts to be fitted painted etc.

Rear pods to be fitted+ painted etc.

(Bodykit ive alreadi purchased)

Rear quarter panel being fixed (Backed into a fence)

Whole car "touched up paint job" which is garunteed to look as new.

This will include ATLEAST the front side panels + bonnet being resprayed as they were repainted in acrylic after my accident and arent color matched (THAT work was not done by my uncle).

All work will be done in tupac (spelling???) paint.

My uncle is doin all the work and has quoted me $1600 (family rate). I rekon this is a real good price and i KNOW the work will be first class as he is a professional and has promised to bring it up to mint condition.

Feedback im asking for is rough estimates of that work being done at other panel shops. ie. no mates-rates and also what the estimated value of my car would be. It is a series 1 1993 manual gts r33. Has k&n pod, magna flow 2.5inch zorst, $1800 sound system, 16inch after market rims with falken rubber.

Negative comments are welcome AS long as they are tasteful. Just looking for feedback.

Cheers, Paul

P.S. promise to post pics once car is back.

400r bumper being fitted + painted etc. - $400

400r sideskirts to be fitted painted etc. - $350

Rear pods to be fitted+ painted etc. - $200

Rear quarter panel being fixed (Backed into a fence) - $1500 depending on whether glass is taken out etc

Those are estimates based on my experience with reputable panel beaters

Once all of that work is done I would pay $17-20k for your car

    • 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.
