** and edit: just realised it's a replica, not a factory turbo SE.

Some nice track cars on here so i thought i'd post up my Rally car for anyone interested.

Built it up myself with my Dad and i run it in the Amsag rally series and Cams events. It is time for something new though so S13 Silvia is in production at the moment and hoping to have that up and running by mid next year. Looking to be able to do some track days in it as well although it wont be that well set up for tar.

good one Jason. What's in it?

I have a soft spot for the old Dattos. Had my share of 1200 coupes, sedans and a ute, 120Y coupes and a wagon with everything from A12 on twin SUs, A12 turbo, L16-18-20 and CA18DET engines. And a 4.4l V8 240K coupe.

Yeh gotta love them simple to work on and take a beating day in day out with not much complaint haha.

It has the A15 with plenty of head work big cam, bored out and running twin Dhelorto's. The rest of the work is in the suspension disc brakes all round with vented rotars etc etc its prolly taken about 3-4 years of playing around to get it up to a decent car that is supprisingly quick against all the 1600's and even some of the 4wd guys. It just lacks any straight line speed so ive decided to retire her and go with the Silvia which is going to be a whole different story but im looking forward to it.

oooh any pics or more info on the 240K?

it was a project car several years ago now, but I sold it on. Shouldn't have, it was a really clean rust free shell. Had flares, not the GTR style ones but would have been easy to change them over. It was a Leyland P76 4.4l Alloy V8, basically a bigger version of the old Rover V8. Supra 5spd. Should have kept it... I have some pics somewhere on the hard drive at home, but it wasn't much to look at really. I bought it at a time when I had about 3 projects on the go and never did anything with the car. Always regretted selling it though, and even tried to track it down to buy it back a couple of years ago...

mates parents gave him a 240K as a first car... was absolutely mint, old lady owner had done about 60,000km... he whinged about it and we used to make fun of it, sold it really cheap in the end... now they are popular again and worth a bit he is spewing he got rid of it... some flares, chin spoiler, a V8 and some old school 0 offset rims... would have been perfect!

hindsight is always 20/20

that is a good price! turbo clubman ftw!

look what Santa's bringing me. It may be a slightly late delivery, but I'll let him slide just this once:

these are unbelievably good value from the states at the moment. Will wait till I see how long they take to get here and what the service is like after handing over the money before I recommend this guy to anyone though.

I am loving the idea of a Clubman, but reading up on the whole Lotus 7 Replica cars there are a few good ones around and soooo many dodgy ones. How do you tell the difference :rofl:

I want a R300 Caterham without an engine then throw in some sweet 9,000rpm NA goodness :D But then i live in an apartment that already has a living room full of parts so think i need a house before something like that :D

Defiantly not doable in an apartment, nor is a datto :D

    • 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.
