are those pictures before or after you changed it back to standard?

before! it was like that when i brought it! it is now standard looking, std rear bar, s2 spoiler, type m skirts and a r33 gtr front bar! couldn't fit the fmic in the standard bar so i got a gtr copy!

thanks luke, you can vote more than once to if your feeling generous ;)

Thanks heaps to people that gave chucked a vote up.

Link on this post too just so this page has it also :glare:

hehe if i win ill buy everyone a drink :D

Was reading up on WRC.com, and came accross this little extract:

FIA rules say that WRC cars must be based on a standard road car bodyshell. For WRC use it is stripped to the bare metal and the spot-welds that hold it together are replaced by seam welding. All unnecessary brackets and mounting plates are removed to save weight, and a tubular steel roll-cage is welded in. After around 700 hours of work it emerges vastly stronger and stiffer than before. Most WRC cars could support the weight of ten road cars. The FIA requires all WRC engines to have a 34mm restrictor in the air intake, which holds down power output to around 300bhp. The cylinder block and head(s) must be based on those in the standard road car, but the crankshaft, con-rods, pistons, cylinder linings, valves and camshafts can be modified. Typical turbo boost is 4-5 bar - compared with up to 1 bar for an average road car - while anti-lag systems mean the turbocharger delivers maximum boost from tick-over. The result is massive torque - up to around 700Nm - about the same as a Ferrari Enzo.

All I can say is holy poop! 5bar = 70psi!!! Love to see an RB25 hold that LOL

^yeah, thats true. Amazing that the intake restrictor (34mm) restricts them right down to 300HP - would love to see what they could get without the restrictor in place. With those sort of pressures would surely have to be 600HP+?

BTW I just hooked up my new Samsung 22" widescreen SyncMaster 2243 monitor for the PC :D Time to watch some movies :O

I have 22" LCD screens at work and hate this small 17" at home ... so I went out and bought an LCD better than the one I have in my office. :D

: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.
