Hmm, if I'm doing 2.2K RPM going up a hill and floor it, being in 4th is not where I want to be! Surely you would have dropped it down to 3rd.. :-)

Oooops missed this, I was so involved in reading about Marc's new S2.

I did say "lean on it" not "floor it". You know......just a little extra throttle to hold speed going up the hill, not enough for it to kick down, but enough for it to make boost. The torque converter stays locked up, just 0.7 bar of boost and the turbo whines away.:rofl:

I've actually got the numbers for when the torque converter will lock/unlock if you'd like me to post them.. But they are for the R34 M-AT box, which I'm not sure is in the Stagea - I suspect not for the series 1, and possibly for the series 2 (can anyone with a series 2 comment?)

Terminal,

I am just around the corner in Nettlefold St - Discount Tyre Service.  Just ring the tele No. in previous post to make sure I am at the shop.  You are more than welcome to come around. 18" arrive on Friday for the car.

Regards,

Marc

Hey Marc, congrats on geting your Stag. For those of us who dont live in Canberra, could you post a few piccies for us??!!

Cheers

I went around to marc2's workshop today and we took a few pics of my S1 next to his S2. it's been hammering down with rain today, so the pics aren't as bright. he'll upload them later when he finishes. they looked really good next to each other.

Talk about a bit of pressure - will post as soon as I figure out how to upload. Off to the FAQ's for guidance.

O'kay,

There are a couple of pictures of 2 of the 3 Canberra based Stageas - and I think they ended up in my photo gallery. Then again they could have ended up anywhere. A pity Jay could not make it then we would have had a 100% attendance.

Ahh, Marc and Term - sorry I couldn't make it. The rain totally fu*&$ed my day up. redered the wall in the morning then it started pi$$ing down :cheers: Had to keep an eye on it all the day so the render wouldn't slide off the wall :P

How about we do another day soon and get a few good pic's ?

Oh, there is another one in Canberra down here in Tuggers. A red one :) But they aren't on SAU :)

Nice pic, guys! Congrats on the new car Marc

Term, are those Voltec wheels on your S-1? Was wondering if they (or something very similar) would suit a Stagea, now I have my answer. Very nice indeed!

Cheers,

Nick T.

    • 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.
