SORRY guys i didnt make it, i had my alarm getting installed today and as always nothing gets done on time.

i was shattered and i still have to wait untill tuesday for the alarm.

Is it bad to use my 19s???? I thought the bigger the wheel the more faster you go?

oh yeah i also have a apexi pod filter, if that helps.

If that is a serious statement i better set the record straight.

The bigger the wheel, the heavier it is, also the more force/power needed to get it moving. Due to the small profile there is no give in the tyre, thus will break traction more easily. 19's are just for show, they are bad for everything else. I am not bagging you as i also have 19's on my Skyline.

The Apexi pod will not improve anything until you are making over 230rwkw, that's where the std air box becomes a restriction. In fact your pod is probably loosing you some performance, as you probably have it open in the engine bay, free to suck in all that hot air. A pod always should to be enclosed in a custom box with a big cold air feed, from the front bar.

Hope to see ya next time at Calder

emsta: Calder Park Rwy, is just off the Calder Fwy, near Taylors Lakes, Hillside, etc., just before Sunbury.

On a Friday night, it is $20 to spectate and $55 to enter your car. To compete you will need to where long paint, long sleeved top, runners/shoes, and a Helmet (which can be hired).

NICE BURNOUT
At first i was like "WTF is he talkin about" Then i looked at my post :)

PS: Thanks ;) Compliments of DECA skid pan.

If you are going to buy rims, you'd be better off buying a set of 17 x 9 for the rear. I have a set of 4, 17in rims for sale (mis-matched pairs, great for drag, drift and drag ;) ), rear are new and only been used twice, fronts are s/h and in good condition, $300 for all 4, no tyres :P

Had to upgrade due to my latest Brembo brake upgrade :D.

SIF 17's are best

smaller the better, more sidewall, more flex, more traction

i has R33 wheels if you want... provided Ronin aint gonna borrow em, crap rubber $150... but yeah... Ronin has dibs if he needs to use them to move his car around :)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
