oh n jenna do i have 2 call him directly?

Prob best if you speak to him personally, as if he knows that you know me, you will get a better deal. He always looks after me and my mates.

sorry been really busy these days....candy job huh?They are great fun to do :D.Most of the motorcycles that we repair are candy colours......Candy's are what you call a monumeric colour Most have a silver metallic ground coat underneath...although what i like to do is lay a ground coat metallic colour thats close to the colour that i am chasing....eg if i want a yellow candy i make a yellow metallic pearl colour thats almost the same as the original colour inside the shop(you can never get the effect that candy colours give by trying to cheat with pearls/metallics...what happens is you can make the colour to look right under fluro light but under sun light its complety wrong or vise verser)then i will spray it out on a test card and wave coat by coat of the correct candy thats been broken down with clear and thinners....after each coat i check to see if i can get the correct flip in colours....when i have got it right i note the amounts of candy that has been applied to the card and transfer it to the job at hand......its a very lengthy process and one spec of dust in a candy job spells dissaster....the dust breaks the surface tension and candy pools to the low spot leaving a dark ring in the job.....A candy job really sorts out the men from the boys.....

yeah im gonna hold off for a while n def get a candy job done

thanx for the reply 2 troy i understand ur busy, u know 2 much!

wat i was gonna get is the silver metallic base with the gold metallic colour put on top... was using the House OF Kolor books to decide...

the colour almost goes to a bronze/brown colour when the sun isnt directly on it. looks mad

if ur up for one in 12 months time troy id be happy to swing by ur way as i might be livin in melb by then anyhow

    • 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.
