damn all these posts have given my lots of flashbacks

so I'll guess I'll add the stuff I also remember,

my first PC when I was 10yrs old - IBM Clone Intel 80286 16Mhz with ultra cool 256 Colour VGA card and 1st ever Creative Soundblaster. :)

Sega GameGear

Nintendo Gameboy (them beige bricks)

NES (them bigger grey bricks with ultra ergonomic gamepads)

Nike Air Jordans (I had a pair of the 7th gen ones cost me like $180 back then)

tv shows like MacGyver, The A-Team, Knightrider, Hardcastle and McCormick, Moonlighting, Remington Steele, The Goodies and the Benny Hill Show.

classic 80's action movies like all those arnie movies like The Terminator, Raw Deal, Commando, Predator, The Running Man and Sly movies like Cobra, Rocky series and Rambo.

don't forget all those b-grade classics like No Retreat, No Surrender, Blood Sport and Kickboxer.

the oldskool performance car seen such as VH Commo's with massive 15inch simmons or hotwires and the dark purple tints.

Actually seeing the Nissan Mid-4 concept car at the 1986 Melbourne motorshow and later on the R32 GT-R at the 1992 motorshow.

being driven around as a kid in my uncles his brand new Nissan Pulsar ET Turbo he just picked up playing euro dance hits like Modern Talking, Paul Lekakis and Sabrina.

thats about all I remember so far from that era. but for some reason I remember the Macca's burgers being bigger and in them Styrofoam containers.

corey feldman in licence to drive

stand by me

the burbs

the goonies with the similar teen gang

and

christian slater

pump up the volume

gleaming the cube

interview with a vampire

broken arrow

BravestarPosterItaly1b.jpg

remote control cars

friday night movies on public tv were actually good

the curisoity show at 4pm

beyond 2000

basketball collector cards

video hits on ten from 9am until lunch time

kulcha with their hit "shaka jam"

i never got a sodastream.. mum was a tightass... my neighbours had one though so that was good!.

What about that mr snowy or whatever it was called.. a snowman that you put ice cubes in and it crushed them and then you squrt syrup stuff on it for a icecone / drink thing.. i never got one of those either.. only some dodgy cup you had to put in the freezer and pour drink in wait for the drink to freeze to the sides of the cupthen you had to scrape it off ... eventually it would make a slushy drink.. .. ripped off.

speaking of slushys... can't go past the original slush puppy drinks. I think phillip island is the only place that sells them now.

oh and that 20c red or green cordial you could get from a machine usually outside supermarkets..

Yeah basketball cards were all the rage through primary school:

Fluer

Upperdeck

Hoops

And remember how much they all were in that A'Bekkets magazine or whatever it was? $30US shaq cards, never met anyone who ever actually sold a card for any money though.

And marbles.. until they banned them for causing too many fights and being an "illegal" form of "gambling"

east%2017%20its%20alright.jpg

east 17 - its alright single

Yeah East17 lol, Take That, Peter Andrew....Game boy

Baggy pants

Arcade games

Nike Air

Country road school bag

Captain planet LOL

Hey hey its' Sat ( Red simon rock )

Train tickets that i save from last year and re-use the next cos' they used to be the same.

Wag school catching buses and trains everywhere.

Celica GTfour was WOW factor, i later on drive an 83 supra 5ME ( still love it ).

Watch smash hits, tape it and record it on tafe cassett, chuck it in my Walkman and walk around school fully sick.

Shook the girls lockers.

actually having rugby league on saturday afternoons on channel 2 !!! i miss that, nowadays, if u wanna watch rugby league u gotta get fox :blink:

glow worms haha

blinky bill

pocket knives

going to the local flooded area after big storms and try to catch green tree frogs lmao

haha this thread brings back so many memories.

how bout the popcorn machines that were sometimes outside supermarkets as well....they had the hot butter u squirt on it....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

my mates milk bar sells slush puppies. used to go there at least twice a day for 1 when i was at school lol

and snow cones are awesome

kids actually playing outside till whatever hour instead of being glued to video games or the internet, when i think of my 13, 14 yr old cousins I feel sorry how their child hoods really do suck now compared to when I was a kid.

I remember beside all the TV stuff,

water balloon fights

nick knocking (or however you used to say it)

hiding up in my friends tree and throwing water balloons at passing cars

fire crackers

roller skating on saturday mornings

skateboarding

gang up tigy (not just at school)

skipping class to go and play streetfighter at the fish n chips shop

doing ghosties with our bmx bikes

and MARY POPPINS (even though it was made earlier I still enjoyed it)

and plenty more

    • 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.
