Just out of curiosity, have we considered asking other clubs to our trackdays? I know we are close with RENEW but what about clubs like the WRX and Evo clubs or Supra, I wouldn't mind taking them on every oncec in a while.

Hahaha, i tried something with the supra guys. They're keen on a drag day though which is good, but whether or not we get the numbers is a different thing (and that could mean we lose money.....a lot of it)

Im working on something for next year that is going to be an invite event to other clubs :)

Arent we cool enough for you?

we could allocate a few invite spots for some of the other clubs so we don't have to completely rely on only one club to come up with the numbers.....

if we could get that organised for sometime next year, it would be so awesome!!

I think it's the other way around, we are too cool for him.

James - I did an Ian Luff day with the HSV owners, lets just say little ol' lizzeh spanked a few V8's! :yes:

Edit... by a few, I mean 1 and by spanked, I mean won by default coz the other car broke down.

Hahahahhahaaha! Well.. at least you won! they dont have to know how... just know that you did..

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

well many many years ago we did discuss running with the WRX and HSV days, they were extremely disinterested and unco-operative, so we went our own way with track days.

But I thought there are plenty of track days available to club members at the moment, both private practice and competitve super-sprints....

pssssst.... motorkhana days with WRX club :D

Those are fun.

Except when you own a RWD car and the WRX guys set up the courses really tight. So not only can't you compete on time, you also don't have the room required to "express yourself". :D

The handbrake in the Z is pissweak. Even with the cable tightened and on wet concrete, I have to be getting some serious yaw before it'll lock. Its easier for me to clutch dump to get the car sideways than trying to reef the handbrake.

And I think the WRXs are scared of us RWD Nissan folk, so they stack the deck in their favour by turning the taps on (as well as shrinking the distance between the cones). Not that I mind, it just makes it even easier for me to go sideways.

Except when you make it to the semi finals of the khana sprint race only to be told that you're the 5th driver left and the other 4 WRX's will compete in the finals just because it's a WRX Club run day madfawk.gif

Surely that wouldn't have happened, not WRX owners Tosh. LOL

There is work a-foot in having a cams registered Zed (Z32) car club and it will be seeking like minded,

import enthusiasts, car clubs for good times, oh, and track time. :pirate:

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • 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.
