G'day all,

I just wanted to know what everyone thinks about the reliability of Pivot's speedmeter. I had one installed recently and on my second attempt on the M4, my 0-100 figure was 6.00 sec. I was pleased with this because I had the silencer on my muffler fitted in.

The times varied from between 6 sec and 6.3.:burnout:

well standard is 6.2 for 33 with approx 140rwkw. Id say add exhaust and filter and boost and youd be pushing 160rwkw, and mid 5seconds to 100? Go a FMIC and some sort of management for 190+rwkw, and id say low 5seconds to high 4 seconds 0-100.

does this sound right?

Guilt toy, 4.77 is pretty quick, you must have 200+kw at the wheels? The only thing is, how do you get the traction to pull a 4.77 0-100? what tyres you got, and how did you launch?

yeah dude, i doubt 3.4 sec as well... i would say thats impossible on street tyres!! i dont think any RWD street car will be able to crack the low 4 seconds, apart from these "street" cars in japan running Nittos and 10sec qtrs!

I remember i test done with propper equipment on Kingsley Heads GTR 32, big single conversion, and i think he was only just in the high 3sec to 100 bracket. BIG power and RWD on street=inability to do exceptional 0-100's!! The power becomes a problem rathere than an aid in low gears.

250rwkw is a heap of power, and if you could get it down you'd probably do 3.4secs! But no way espec with the shit 235's you mention!

when i went from 160 to 200kw i could no longer just plant it in 1st due to traction breaking, wheras before i could let 1st wind right out.

dumb question but how does it measure the distance ?

If you sat their and ripped a burnout (tyres spinning faster than what your car could move) it would give you a 'really' quick 0-100m time wouldnt it ?

/end dum question.

LOL - I'm pretty sure they are talking about 0-100 k/ph, not 0-100m :)

Jay,

Your posy doesn't make sense. Toby is the one started this thread which is about the reading he took from his pivot speedmeter.

Toby,

One way to find out whether you are in fact measuring 0-100kmh is to set the meter and go for a run sitting at 60kmh. You can do this as you are cruising and don't have to do it from stand still.If it beeps and gives you a reading it is clear that the reading is for 0-100m not 0-100kmh. You can try the same for 0-200, 0-300 and 0-400. I am sure you will find that all the readings are for distance not for speed.

A cheetah would be faster than our beloved skylines over a sprint of 100meters. Basically having to move a mass of 1.5 ton and not being able to put all the power to the ground from stand still (read traction) hass all to do with it.

Obviously as the distance is increased there is no comparison.

With 180rwkw (about 2 years ago), I clocked off about 5.2 secs with a g-tech... 206rwkw and I managed a 4.9...

Much faster than that and you're pushing shit uphill with only two wheels driving, as you can only put down so much power in first and second...

Try a 100-200 time estimate if you want an indication of a cars power :)

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
