Try Chris at Tasman Checkpoint in Brunswick. No one else is even allowed to go near my car for repairs bar him. Excellent prices, excellent work and excellent service. Tell him you're a mate of mine and he will look after you.

Call 9387 1955

hey guys im lookin for a place thats pretty decent and not overpriced in melb

got told my candy gold job is gonna cost me 12k and isnt gonna get started until xmas so im gonna look somewhere else

12k for candy gold? jesus

really worth paying that much?

Ill prolly get flamed for this, but a tip my mate told me to get a good looking job done on the cheap is to paint the car in a normal acrylic then apply a 2pac pearl over it, makes it look like a full 2pac paintjob :O

Mate had a red car and painted it red acrylic and applied 2pac pink pearl over the top, the painter said hed be able to tell people it was a full 2pac job.

Thing is i dont think beaters like doing this for people.

lol... i bought some midnite purple from protec in moorabin... only ost me $210 all up for 4 litre but im a bit wary that this isnt gonna be good enough for my car.... wheres troy when u need advice...

did that include primer and catalyst/hardner?

u looking to spray yourself?

spraying standard paints isnt that hard.. candy jobs look pretty sweet but i dont know if theyre worth 3x the mount of a standard full job.

i was going to buy the candy pearls from the states and try it out on my car and see how it comes out... then when that all blows up in my face, sand it back and paint it satin black lol

when i get my 33, ill be lookin for a shit heap to drive to work everyday as well....and i had this brilliant idea....im gonna buy a heap of cans of spray paint, like the shit you use on calipers etc, and im gonna paint the car in it. lol...I was thinkin bright green. then im gonna spray the bonnet black B)

    • 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.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
