Not the first Camera Car to stick it off though, there was Charles in the ex-Nismo GTi-R on South Riana, Leo in the 33 GTR on Sideling and although not a the Camera Car, Zero ripping its wheel off at T98 is worthy of a mention, particually when it was an MG supplied MG-F and the wheel was torn off out right outside the MG/Rover Corp' Villa!

Ross was getting into it here and there though :)

Seeing the old girl in full flight makes me want to cry.... onya rocket! Actually when you build a car, your first race car, a lot of your time is spent doing research and learning the model. Your heart and soul goes into it and when its sold - like your virginity - a little of you goes with it... I'm so stoked that you are getting so many grins Rocket... when you have an emotional tie with, and sell something, the biggest hope is the new owner gets what they are looking for. It would seem like that is happening....

One thing about racing an R32 is you become part of the Skyline family. It is something that isn't always apparent till you go to a brand without that culture in Oz.

Anyone got an R32 N1 for sale?

Thanks TT for keeping her in beautiful shape,

she is an absolute pressure to steer and I have never driven a car that has given me so much enjoyment.

R32's are the best!! :D

I hope you relise I was only stiring.

Charles Button let us in the tour in 03, and all the Targa people that knew him were stiring him about pranging the camera car.

TT: are you going to return the EVO to the missus to run another car?

Of course SM, I knew the moment I slid off I was going to have to pay the price for my indiscretion..... all part of the gig.

Can't wait until next year, it's the job made in heaven for me being a snapper and a driver.

hey rocket_rosco I saw the footage of you wafting off the road.....must have sucked to go off at that speed, if you are going to go off the road on film you are meant to make it a big one. Great pics that got sent to us, I didn't expect many considering how few stages we actually managed but there was a good selection anyway (although you guys somehow missed all the tail out action)

Funniest photo we got was from the prologue. 60 seconds before I reminded Kel that we were going to take it easy. And I backed off the throttle at the jump. Yet still all 4 wheels are off the ground in the pic lol

It sucked big time, I just finished telling my nav, Tim, 'looks like we just caught this one' and then.... well the rest is history.

I will say I'm very proud of our work ethic, after we clambered out of the car and put out our triangles, we grabbed our camera gear and shot the rest of the stage like the true professionals we are!!

I got some of my best pix there too!

No my friend, the camera car drivers position is stitched up!!

I'll be doing it until I'm old and crusty!

I'll put my hand up for that gig seeing as its pretty easy to get rid of the current driver :thumbsup:

:laughing-smiley-014:

Thanks Benm! I didn't get sound? Is that me or the files?

And yeah, go battered Sav man! :)

I didn't get to see it Saturday, was there a glimpse of the world's slowest R34, Car #979?

I was a little dissappointed I didn't see us over the Ross jump, I spent the next half hour putting the front bar, undertray, headlights, indicators back in the poor old thing. lol ... it looked like it had been punched in the face.

Now, now Ben be nice......

how did the drifting go on Saturday??

Good turn out, plenty of action on the track and all the guys are progressing well.

Going to be interesting if this petition goes through to ban it here though ;)

    • 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.
