Hi guys and gals,

Would anyone like to enter their car in the Autosalon this weekend? My R32 GTR made 345rwkw before the engine decided to 'take a breather'. It was going in the Autosalon but obviously it's not going to make it anymore.

The car was to be entered as part of a stand for a car club I have started with some friends, but now there is space available for another car.

If you would like your car entered for free, and if you're putting out a few horses, entered into the dyno comp for free as well, PM me with your car's details.

Cheers,

Alan

If there are no takers, i would be interested.

(If you dont get a bettter offer.)

My 33 makes nowhere near that power level though, but its very tidy and the paint is almost flawless.

Only thing that would let me down is a nice set of rims (anyone have some I could borrow for the weekend? - im happy to only put them on at the show and take them off to drive home)

Hey chalon is your GTR grey? If you had it at Boost Worx the other day I saw it in there, Shaun said something about 350ish kWs but engine packed up!

Otherwise thats another GTR that blew something... either way if its yours nice car man!

Oh and my GTRs not Autosalon material... maybe next year ;)

That's my baby, yes. It is a nice car, but I must say yours looked way cleaner than mine. Yours must be the one that's getting the turbos replaced?

I'm not overly down with what happened to my car. When you're pushing a reasonable amount of power, things break. It just happened at a bad time, 'tis all.

Actually my car is supposed to have an R33 N1 engine, but I have no idea what exactly this means in relation to the internals of the engine. We'll know for sure once Shaun has a bit of a dig around.

Anyway, thanks to everyone for their support on these forums. It's the sense of helping each other out that makes this forum such a great resource. I've had a couple of good offers already, but if you've got a 400kw beast hiding in your garage and want it to be admired by many people at this year's Autosalon, don't be shy and get in touch with me please :P

On another note, anybody have some nice rims in a RWD offset they'd be willing to loan for the weekend?

Cheers,

Alan

Nah that was probably the OTHER grey GTR in there hehe. Mine was just in for a major service, and dyno run. Need new fuel pressure regulator apparently, running lean under boost.

Anyway I'll stop whoring up your thread. :huh: Good luck in fixing your car man, definitely one of the tougher GTRs going round :thumbsup:

Matt is stilll away, but I was thinking about grabbing his GTR and putting it in Salon .... don't think I can be stuffed though. I think it is making closer to 500rwkw? Feels like it in the passenger seat :thumbsup:

Maybe PM Munro - his R33 streeter is making over 450rwkw these days and looks a treat!

Thanks for all the support and generosity! You guys rock.

At this stage looks like we've got our bases covered. We're certainly not going to have the most powerful cars there, but we'll have something different.

Look out for a V35 350GT-8 if anybody's going. Stock, but at least it's relatively rare at this stage at least >_<

Taken from Matt's post..... OMFG!

631.3 ft/lb torque

578 kw at all 4

775.2 hp at all 4

that was running 2bar

On another note.......

When will/should we be expecting to see John's car back at the strip?

Matt's GTR has been detuned since then - it was doing some interesting things at that power level, so the boost has been reduced. I think it is running around 500rwkw now - still a lot!

Given that it looks like AIR may never reopen, I think John is planning to run the racecar at drag combat in Perth in November. If he does I will definitely go over for it!

I took his new BMW545i for a spin last night - OMFG what an unbelievable car!!! *drooooooooooooooool* 245kw V8 in 5 Series luxury!

RH9 will dominate all!!!!!

Get back to teach biatch! But yeah Keir's car is pr0n!

Like going all over the road? :) Jelous that you got to go for a ride! That thing would be rediculously fast!

Whats the story there i thought they were "upgrading" it?

Yeah i noticed they had picked up one, i was gonna talk to Erica about it. Those things are hot!

AIR can't give us a definite opening date (even though they originally said July 2006) .... and from what I hear not a single thing has been done yet to the timing system or track - I am not sure where the legal battle over ownership currently stands, but sure as hell BJ won't be spenging any money on the complex until it is all sorted out.

It is very poor form for racing in SA - where are we to be expected to test our cars out and get some racing out of our systems?

Stupid AIR!

Agreed!

I mean isn't there some possiblility for some Government funding of some sorts?

Look at all the other facilities in other states compared to ours!

WSID is aweomse! Why can't we get something approved like that for here? Wasn't that mainly government funded?

    • 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.
    • 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.
