wow!! look like everyone has pulled out... well that about the same story with most of my mates that put their cars down on the list :P ....

I guess we beter make the dyno day some other weekend.

So, my appologies for pulling out so late but I will have to miss out on this one.

For all the people going 'have a great day'!

I'm not impressed with all of this at all .... except for Matt that has a serious family emergency, it's not fair to say you'll support something then back out at the last minute. It bodes very badly for future events and where will we be then? Why go to all the trouble of organising something only for people to say they're going to turn up, then back out at the last minute. (And I wasn't even involved in organising anything btw).

/end rant

Its a damn shame. We have to support organizers of events especiallly tuning shops as they have the backing to kick these things off. I know its an opportunity to drum up buisness, makes sense. Interstate seem to have a lot of events such as track days quite often - something I would like to see more of or should I say see at all. Morpowa are doing the right thing. RPM are doing the right thing. JMS drift days. Tilbrooks has events for SVD as a sponser. I hope this is a good day with reasonable numbers as I would assume Morpowa will think twice later and we will end up with nothing. I know people had legitimate reasons however it would be sad if people are leaving to follow others.

Just thought it should be said.

Timmaay.

Have a go. Then at least if you do any mods you have a baseline to start from. I am new to Skyline/Nissans for the last few years converting from V8 Commodores so I am intersted to see the older cars. Not embarassing at all. You could say I might be embarassed by GTR's its all relevant.

Very well said Greg (grepin). To be honest I didn't have any reason to do another dyno run 'just yet', but "was" intending to go to support SAU involvement. A recovering wife would've become ex-wife if I did.

It's workshops like RPM, Morpowa, Tilbrooks etc that are instrumental in helping the import scene grow in SA. We, South Australians, are very lucky to have the number of decent import specialist workshops that we have, given our relatively small population/size.

Talking of dyno runs, I will be hitting the dyno next Wednesday. Got a new custom dump pipe being made & the dump/front fitted with heat wrap. Add to that a few other exhaust system changes & tune tweaks. Should be a touch louder if nothing else :P

Whatsisname,

Hope all is well this weekend for you & family.  

The mods sound great.  RPM doing it?

Yep guys Tan is well :( Not as mobile as she'd like atm but getting there.

The lastest round of mods & dyno runs are being done at RPM. I'll be spending the day getting my hands dirty too (polishing stuff mostly). It would be nice to see a dyno run on the Morpowa dyno to use as a comparison, Martin would be the man to see for this ;)

Graham,

Hope your wife is doing well mate.

    • 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.
    • 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.
