Well the car that started this thread has developed a bit over the last couple of years.

Now sports an RB20DE with ITB's, cams, headwork etc. Think there is a pic in here somewhere...

It's had a couple of arguements with a total of 8 fence posts (7 at one time) which of course leads to upgrades.

With suspension mods, and a bit of tuning the car has become surprisingly competative, scoring a few 1st in class (1600 - 2000cc) and a 1st 2wd in a 3.5km hillclimb. I'm stoaked to be running an unorthadox car and beating some of the pure bread 2wd rallycars.

Here's a pic and vids from the other weekend. 10km forestry sprint. Day started at -5°C, parts of the road were permanantly frozen all day, tricky...

good shit troy! that will be awesome fun, and the sound. my god man! the sound!

where did you find that bad boy? auction? yahoo? or is there some japanese my105 I don't know about?!

yeah there quite hard to come by....i bought one about 3 years ago for my mate and he ended up getting one from somewhere else....one had the same setup as mine and the other had a sr20 turbo in it.....im building up a 13BPP concrete cracker for it and will be making some body mods to look more like this :P ......

I have never heard a better sounding car in my life, absolutley unreal. Would love to hear it in person one day :sick:

Speaking of mental rotors that I would love to own, check this out: www.osca.co.nz/20build.htm

If it ain't a wotor, den it ain't a motor :)

lol, my RX7 gets parked on the 3rd basement level down from ground. when it's idling on the timer and I hop in the lift to go up to my apartment I can hear it running all the way up to the top floor and from the lift to my front door! neighbours must loooove it.

and it's a turbo so is pretty quiet by rotor standards...

Haha but you have to love it!

I had a 12A PP once upon a time, and that thing was so rude it's not funny. It idled a bit under 2000rpm and sounded magic, absolutley awesome little engine. BRAAAAP BRAAAAP BRRRRRAAAAAAAAAP

my neighbours used to hate my old rx7 and that was just a stock 12a with a big exhaust and a racing beat air cleaner, it had no guts and i lived on a hill so it was 1st gear all the way up lol....then it did the ole' rotary back fire when I shut it down

That is currently for sale ,aking good money from what i recall.

As much as i love my Skylines, if i could own any track car, i mean realistic so no Ultima GTR or F1 GTR :rofl: i would have to take the Re Amiya Super G RX7.

re_amemiya_rx7.jpg

It would have to be track only as no way i cold drive such an outrageous car on the street

You park your rx7 in a communal garage Richard?

thats keen...I wouldnt want to leave that around!

my neighbours loved the day I moved out from mum n dads...being in a battle-axe block...our driveway went between two houses, so first car was a loud LS1.....then the R33....and having 6am starts on a weekday and 4am starts on a weekend...yeah they didnt like me much :rofl:

    • 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.
    • 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.
