They are great cars for off the showroom floor....i had a boner for it when he first got it. But a ride the other night in my car at 20psi and im feeling the love for my car again. Especially now i have the new gearbox and diff for it :ninja:

Stick with the GTSt, especially since yours looks so trick :ninja:

How can you want to part with that?

:)

You are right! I will learn to drive first......then I will buy and AWD so I can forget everything I learnt ;)

That pic shows where the workshop bent my bonnet :ninja:

Haha - especially if you go the EVO path.

When James was first driving at Wakefield he had very bad brake shudder. Then I went for a spin in his car and discovered you could just hammer up to a corner - and then turn. And the car would go around. Brakes really weren't needed. And neither was talent.

Don't want to get into the my wang is bigger than yours argument, even thou it is!

But one thing to note on the day is that the track temp at EC was very high and the semi's weren't sticking to their full potential. Which was proven when I ran a best time of 1.47.7 on the very hot dry track, then went and ran a 1.47.8 on a damp cooler surface when the rain was a slight drizzle. I wasn't pushing as hard, but the car had the grip back.

Just thought you might find that interesting.

I can't speak for Snowy, but last time I checked - I'm not gay. It's been a while since my last, you know 'check up' though, so ah... nah.

Anyhoo - you guys should stop picking on the way we talk, eh :)

Much to my surprise after receiving the Presidents Choice award last year for assuming this Alistair character you so regularly spoke about "may" have been your partner :P

This is great stuff. A lot of passion. The only thing I can add to it is it is a tricky track and to cut some sharp times will take a bit of practice.

The GTRs would have dominated the Zed if we drove them to their limit, but the track got the better of us.

Next time the Zed is gunna have to watch out. I'm putting serious time in on V8 Supercars 3....

Just move to Sydney for a few months. You can work on your tan and dance moves...and if you have time cut some laps at the Creek :P

You guys suck...even though i have done over 15 days at EC, i was only hoping for about a 1:50 flat. So you would have all still kicked my ass. Wakefield is where its at....blood will be drawn at Wakefield in 2007. With Australia Day forever being remembered as the day the GTSt fought back :D

I am thinking of coming for that one too :)

why do you say that?

Just looking at the tyre sidewall deflection. Looks to me as if it needs about 1-1.5lbs more. Looks like it is going over so far, it is probably hopping sideways a bit if it loses a little grip. Would that be right Jack?

My tyre pressures were up the shit at EC. Couldn't get good grip so took some pressure out, got worse. Put more pressure in and got better. But by then the tyres were shagged. Couldn't do more than 1 lap before it started to understeer like a WRX. A track like EC needs new rubber, will make sure next time!!!!

    • 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.
