They have in fact replaced 70% of there staff and are in new premises, and Xspeed have produced alot of top cars in there time, simply look at the number of covers on HPI and Hot4s etc. A number of shops were keen to get Ant on board when SST closed, and he wasn't the one that pulled the plug on the business.

The grand opening of Xspeed is going to be on the 26th of June, come down you may be surprised at how well run the place is:cheers:

BWHWHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHhAHAHAHAHAHA

Hot 4's and HPI are true indicators of how good a work shop is.

Im not saying Ant is no good - not at all. Im just saying that before I recommend a shop - they have to be proven. And if they have turned over all their staff (which would be a great step in the right direction) now only time will tell how good they are. But as far as im concerned they have proven nothing yet.

Dan, where do you take your high performace car to?

I look forward to them proving you wrong;)

Paul

I have no performance car - only a 2002 320i BMW.

Where will I take my next car - NO FARKEN Idea. I have lost faith in all workshops recently. I don't trust any of them.

Dan

Now now Dan lets not be bad mouthing ppl. The rules are, if you cant say something nice u cant say anything at all. Thats why ppl always get reccomended but not badmouthed. Just gotta see who that info is coming from to make a judgement call. Of course I totally agree with what your saying though.

Personally i havent been to x speed in ages but they treated me pretty good 3 years ago.

Boostzor, I don't think dan was bad mouthing anyone. I, on the other hand, have many interesting things to say about this subject as I recently pointed out on antilag (and got subsquently banned). What was it you said teejay, that I wouldn't have the guts to speak my mind on sau? Well, guess what...

Why wouldn't you go where they have one of the best tuners and best engine builders?

Paul, one of the best - WHAT!? -

Hey Champ

Can u please explain to me what has happened to your motor....

PM if you want.

Daniel

IMACUL8, no problems dude. A full log of the events that took place will be on my web site soon enough. Lets see fcukers try to pull that down. It's a sad, sad tale, and watching people sing the praises of someone my grandmother could out-engine-build is even sadder.

dan_the_man, no problems :(

Gradenko

I saw your post on anti lag - and if they banned you for that - fark them.

They all speak their mind, and as soon as someone says something they don't agree with - they ban.

Its either free speech for all or for none - not for some and not for others.

Haha, good to see we have stirred up some emotions:D

Let's not compare Anti-lag with SAU, we all know the rules on SAU and the moderators enforce them evenly.

If anyone wants to ask about your personal opinion then having your own website is a great idea, or they can PM you.

Having said that I still stand by all the stuff I have said about Xspeed, and I'm happy to recommend them to anyone:cheers:

Dan, I've had alot of work done by Xspeed, especially early on when I was getting into cars. They have always been very professional and done great work:D When I moved house and closer to SST then they did the majority of my work, but I always recommended Xspeed to others. Now that they have Ant and Fabs both working there then they can provide a heap of extra services to Skyline owners, especially seeing as they will now have there own dyno.

Having said that I still stand by all the stuff I have said about Xspeed, and I'm happy to recommend them to anyone:cheers:

Fair enough. I should probably make clear that I've used Xspeed in the past and have found Hans to be an exceptionally helpful fella, so nothing against them as a company.:(

Too bad he ain't there anymore.

Werd.

"Hans"?? If u mean Hanson - he is still there... if you mean Jan - he's left... maybe Hans was their Swedish lovechild?? Or maybe you dont even know the names of the tuners your passing judgment on - which can be dangerous when ur playing with people's reputations.

XSpeed are damn fine in my opinion - and even better with the new workshop and crew on board - Im sure every workshop has the odd tale or two or unhappy customer - but Ive been going to Hanson for work for more than 2 years on 2 different cars and they've got my vote. Yet to have work done anywhere else, but since having the Stagea both Ken at Hyperdrive and Jeff at C-Red have also always had more than enough time to offer good advice and information... so I am sure I'll end up on their hoists as well at some stage... especially once the damn daughterboard group buy for the Neo6 works out and Hyperdrive can throw it in the Stag!

:P

    • 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.
