Hey ppls.

Well, it has finally come down to it and I need to sell my pride and joy.

You all know how much I love my car, and I make this decision with a heavy heavy heart. :laugh:

It has been serviced every 5k-7.5k kilometers and every 10-15ks I change all fluids, including diff and gearbox.

Platinum Silver in colour, has a bit of a purple pearl in some lights (standard colour)

Just clicked over 90,000klms

Interior

Apline 7876R Head Unit. Top of the range a couple of years ago.

Soundstream Front Splits. ($350)

Soundstream Rear 6 inch co-axes. ($450)

Standard Seats

Apexi Pen style Turbo Timer

Nismo Solid Shifter

Total Spent on interior Mods $800 odd

Engine

Stanard internals

Buddy Club P1 Racing Rims in Hyper Gold

Hankook K104 Ventus Sport tyres, 50% tread front and rear

Total Spent on Suspension and Drivelilne mods $4,600 odd

So you can see I've spent around $16k building a tough car.

I'm sure that I've spent more, and I'll add things I've done at the thread grows if required.

As you can see from the graph below, it's a solid performer.

Achievements

Dyno

250 rwkw, Race Pace Dyno (Chart Below)

It's a solid performer and will have a tune refresh before sale after I fixed the wastegate the other day.

Quarter Mile

12.9 @ 113 mph. The car is good for mids 12s with the right rubber.

Track

Winton

1.45:4 (when it had 200rwkw)

DECA, well, you know how it goes at DECA.

Will come with Road Worthy Certificate.

Price

$34,000

This price is very reasonable for a car with the amount of work which mine has had put into it.

I wash and was it regluarly, I drive it very sedatly on the roads, infact I've never gotten a speeding fine in this car.

Nothing has been left to chance on this car. If I though it needed something new, I just went and bought it. If something wore out, or needed replacing, I replaced it with the best.

Try to build it cheaper........

NO Test Pilots.

NOBODY will be driving my car until I see a deposit.

I will take you on as many drives as you want, but until you are going to front with the money, there will be no piloting.

Bass has managed to sort out his finances.

Bass keeps his car.

Bass will be throwing down slide and rubber for many events to come!

(voice of austin powers) Yeah baby YEAH!

Good to hear mate, :D that's a pretty big scare to have.

Smell your burning tyres at a meet soon!

Sorry for the hijack, but Bass, did you mention in ur list that your clutch cost you only $400???? What sort of clutch is that and where u got that price from?!?!? that's cheap as for a pull type clutch

    • 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.
