Just picked up a copy of Autosalon Magazine and what do I see??? SEX ON WHEELS!!! thats right, a perfect shot of a black R32 GTR in the rain doing 1:06 at wakefield? The car was just too sexy, especially with those R34 rims. That picture just convinced me to get an R32 for my next car.

Looking at the engine work done almost make me cringe at how much $$$$ they must have spent doing it up. If you guys are on the forum, two thumbs up on the beautiful car.

Yeah, when i read the back pages with the black R32 GTR on it i thought "whoa! that looks sweet!!!" IT bitzed them all too if i remember. I cant be bothered to walk the 10 feet to flick throught the mag lol.

Blitzed all of what? The rest of the competing cars? classic

There was a turbo MX-5 there about a second and a half off Russel's pace.

I wouldnt call that "blitzing" in any way at all.

Anyway, here is a link to the 25+ page thread about it:

I met Russell at the Gatton Sprints a few months ago (which they won setting the 2 fastest times) and Mark and Russell share the car for events such as the Dutton Rally. They're machinery mechanics and there's a truck load of money gone into that car. Seeing the car almost made me want to paint mine black, but then i remembered how much a pain in the arse my last black car was.

with out going into the varibles of vechicles strengths and weaknesses, 1.5 seconds on a race track is huge...

:laugh:

and without getting into the fact the MX-5 wasnt 4wd among other things, and being the track was also damp, among other things

best we not go into the variables :ermm:

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
