New 4 door round...


Guest 382 GZV - 4 Door R33

Recommended Posts

I had Jic suspension in it and wound it right down.If you notice the pic it didn't even make it out of my carport.Thats as far as I could get it, so I took some photos and wound it back up.

51jay...good to hear your doing well in your beast,my old jigger is about to get a link computer and big cams and cam gears...should be scary.

The GTR's great other than bad attention (getting keyed) but overall it more than I expected..hoping to run a very low 12 next drags as I have only raced once with standard everything except boost resulting in a 12.665, now I have trust airfilters.hks dumps and fronts and 17psi so fingers crossed.You still a regular at broadwater..I'll probably come down for autosalon or jamboree.

Saw a nice black 4-door R33 parked in the Coronation Drive parking bay on Sunday Afternoon, facing the river, it still had numbers painted on the back left window like he'd been to the drags / sprints on the weekend? Was that anyone here?

Yeah, I live in St Lucia, and used to have a Wine Red R33 which I have since sold, but still see heaps of Skylines around St Lucia / the Uni.

Cheers,

Simon

hehe thought so - I was still driving around on Sunday with the number "5" painted on my car too - I figured you'd pulled over to talk on the phone or something, but upon refletion I guess it would be a nice place to have lunch!

If I see you around the streets of St Lucia I'll throw you a wave. I live near the Taringa end of Swann Road, but play various sports down at UQ, as well as shopping etc at the village fairly often.

I take it 382 GZV is your rego? I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Cheers,

Simon.

G'day Steve,

Yep - it's a 1996, 3.2 litre (the 236kw version) but no, it's not the SMG; It's a 6-speed manual.

Yep - it's a lot of fun and certainly seemed to enjoy a good hard run around the track (just as much as it loves a nice run up Mt Glorious or Mt Mee) and I will definitely be giving it another run at the next Sat Arvo Sprints (june 21st).

I was getting 1:04's on Saturday, but I was making a lot of errors in the infield / slower sections (the crossovers) where I was having trouble picking a good line and then getting out of the corner smoothly. It is something that will come with experience I'm sure, and just due to my inexperience with the car... I hadn't driven the M3 on the track before, and I am sure I will improve a bit as time goes by. (I'm also doing a driver training day at Queensland Raceway on June 8th which should be interesting).

But yeah, the car was great on the weekend. Very well behaved. I was able to run 1:04's and 1:05's, I didn't suffer any brake fade, was able to exceed 180km/h on the front straight and when I got back home to my driveway, I'd averaged 13.1 litres/100km for the entire day. Got to be happy with that!

Simon.

    • 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.
