Mmmm..I just owned a boxsters arse....


Recommended Posts

If you wanna see how good you are, race a bike and win. Now there's something to write about :)

I believe my current road kill with my car consists of with 3 ppl in the car against a Lambo Diablo with driver only (owned twice), a CBR 600 with modded exhaust and a couple other tweaks, more Porkas, M3s and AMGs than can be mentioned.

'Lines ROCK!!!!!!

Actually I have raced a bike. It was a Honda CBR 250R. He was in the overtaking lane and i was in the next lane... lights turned green and we both took off.. but then again, he might have shit his pants that my car was right next to him for his safely concern :)

I too have beaten a CBR 600 and a 900 sports/tourer type bike. Your car Dave should kick them big time. Not a surprise with your car on the Lambo front either. I want to have a go at a zx7r that my mate owns. Going on 1/4 mile times it will be close.

Now add in a few corners and now we can run right past the bikes.

Mick.

Most of the people who own expensive sports cars like diablos etc are loathe to cane the crap out of their cars too, therefore...they lose.

My car is slow...and I have owned hyundais and all sorts of crap...hey it was one with a body kit, seatbelt protectors and a sports steering wheel.

Race a bigger bike... even my 900cc bike finishes the quarter mile at around 130mph. GSXR-1000s and Hayabusas and the like will do it at over 140mph, and in under 10 seconds if launched hard, all for less than the price of a decent R33 GTS25t. And if you think that it's fairly close off the line (it is VERY hard to keep the front wheel down while launching, and many bikes are governed in first and sometimes second gears), try going from like 120km/h up. Bye :) It takes a VERY serious street car to come anywhere near a stock litre-class sportsbike. Corners are a different matter though - it takes a rider with humungous balls to catch even a reasonably quick car in the twisties.

Good work with the Boxster - it's always nice to flog someone who thinks they're so much better :D

What times have you run down the quarter on your 900? When all the serious bike Boys around here go out they have never got under 10 sec. I hear it from people that they can do it but as yet have not heard who has done it. The zx7r has exhaust and feul system mods and ran an 11.7. He weighs in at around 75kgs. To get this time he slips the clutch right through first and most of second gear. Will be interested to see what your fireblade runs. Don't think I am some sort of dick I know that it will kill my car but I am interested in real achieved times on the bikes.

Mick.

Twisties against a bike are no fun...Reefton spur numerous times held up bigtime by gsxr700's zx9r's except on the one straight where they gain about 6 km in 2 sec...bugger. But overall over the 26km or whatever it is I don't think most riders could be within a minute of what I could do.....

Think your so good with your 100kw in 100kg. (wish my car weighed 100kg)

Russ

Mick/Werdest - OK here's my best time, but don't laugh :) [email protected] (from memory). I am far from the best/lightest rider though (don't like to launch hard cos I'm a wuss and it kills the clutch) - a guy with bigger balls and a nearly identical bike to mine and who weighs about 40kg less :D ran 10.58@134mph. The potential is there but I can't get off the line. I dunno what track is close to you guys, but at Willowbank there's normally a fairly decent contingent of bikes at the Test n Tunes. You can see at the drags how many riders are slow off the line and only start really putting the power down 50-100m into the run.

A few weeks ago at Willowbank a GSXR-1000 ran a 9.99@141mph, and not long before that, a Hayabusa ran 9.78@146mph. The bikes can definitely do it, but not every rider out there can. On a side note, my brother's CBR250R (~19,000rpm :D) ran 14.7@92mph, and I've seen an RGV250F dip into the high 13s, so even the 250s have some poke about them. Most current 600s will run mid 11s (11.5) with the exception of R6s, which will run low 11s with a good rider, and very high tens with a fantastic/light one. Then there's the Y2K Superbike which runs 9.6@160mph :P but that's a different kettle of fish :)

Russ, I wish my bike weighed 100kg too :D As I said, it takes a rider with massive balls to get away from a car in the twisties. It's also far more physical, having to climb all over the bike to get the weight balance right, pinching the seat every time there's an imperfection in the road. Don't forget that the vast majority of people would be far quicker in their cars than their bikes when it comes to the twisties - you feel safer to push the limits because you're in a cage, and if you're on a bike and lose it, let's say you don't just spin out... It is always good to beat something that should/you think would be quicker though, congrats on the Reefton Spur thingo, sounds like fun :)

Don't forget that the vast majority of bikes you see on the street are bog stock (perhaps bar an exhaust and air cleaner or something). If you ever hear a big bike with a BOV, don't mess with it at anything over 100km/h :) There are guys getting 450hp out of 300kg (with rider) road reg'd Hayabusas...

RevHead,

Jeez don't laugh at 11.2. Man if I ever get the GTR to that time you will hear my woops of joy, vitcory etc from Toowoomba. The times on the GSX-R and the Hayabusa are real quick and the best I have heard too this point. Like I said no one I know of has actually cracked that 10 sec mark. 450 hp with 300kilos scary.

Mick.

best i seen was at calder with a 10.9

cant remember what bike it was... looked like a yamaha. (rd reg)

best non road reg bike i seen was 9.6 i think.

best ive seen internationaly for a rd reg bike was a 4 wheeler pull a 9 second lol well actually its a 4 wheeler so i dont know if its rd reg :D

How about this? Because I love you guys so much :D I'm hosting two video files.

Hayabusa 0-210km/h. It's a 14 sec video, some of which is slowing down and stopping, and some of it is... well, you get the idea :)

http://members-central.optushome.com.au/co...ech/Busa210.wmv

Kawasaki ZX636 (yes, 600cc). A quick squirt to about 230km/h from memory.

http://members-central.optushome.com.au/co...bmech/ZX636.mpg

I love watching these, how quick do those numbers climb? :D

If the owners of either video would prefer for me not to host these then please email me. I made an effort to find them elsewhere on the net and post links to them there instead but without luck.

Edit: Aah crap, no HTML...

Lights go green Mr 'I just learnt to drive' erupts in wheelspin, the lines 255  RE540's bite, 2 litres of nissans finest goes to work and were away....

Ahh he thinks there are two roundabouts coming up too, I'm in a porsche, I'll show him who's boss here...but alas, poor boy is probably more than a hundred metres behind on exiting the second roundy.

Not bragging, its just great, Gotta love the 'Line.

Russ

he man don't get me wrong i love my line but boxters ain't fast my mums got a 2002 S model and i can kill it (even when my dad is driving it)...still can't chop my dads tuscan though(even with 320 at the rears on my line) but ne ways man good on you for choppin a fag i know its fun, but u have to compare apples to apples go an try a 911 :D

    • 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.
