Well, theres a post in general discussion area thing about this, but thought id post up here to see if anyone is keen.

HKS will be bringing their R33 GTR out of retirement to take on the Heat Treatments R32 (now the quickest in the world) in New Zealand on the 17th Feb 2007.

Me and Aurora are going to fly over on Friday the 16th and come back on Sunday the 18th. Plane tickets are $189 each way with Air New Zealand and hotel shouldnt cost too much.

So who else is interested in coming?

Probably not since the airfares return are $380 ($189 each way) then you need probably $50 - $100 for accomodation, entry to the drags (no idea on ticket prices, they come out in jan) and food.

Id say $650-750 and you should be pretty safe.

Also those prices are from Sydney, so if theres enough interest we can all chip in $10 and hire a mini-van for the drive up to and back from Sydney.

Come on peoples, who DOESNT want to see the two fastest skylines in the world go head to head? :happy:

I'm officially barred up...

I'm barred up knowing that you're barred up....

I've said too much........

Anyway, it's be great fun but my money belongs elsewhere. I'll just wait for the cliff notes to come out. (read: video).

Yeah I was shocked at the ticket prices too.

And you will see the cars out multiple times during the day, not just once... and thus far, every time the HKS car has gone to an international event they dont strictly do drags with it either (those that saw it on the rained out day at willowbank will understand).

    • 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.
