man did the GTR hate being driven in 45 degree weather, all kinds of random noises start apearing lol

Agreed. On the way home yesterday I had some major idle / power loss issues. Spent an hour changing the air flow meters. 1st one I replaced, went for a test drive - same problem happened.

Replaced the second one, problem hasn't shown itself again (yet - touch wood) but I'm eager to see if this afternoon changes the story.

Oh and +1 for joeleo for reconditioning the afm I lent him - I've chucked it back in and its not screwing up like before haha - thanks

-D

not bad at all Damo and if it's a real good one and you could screw him down to $25K......i'd say good deal.

my preference would be all original dead stock V-Spec II and leave it that way.

the 200's back! yay! new clutch is nice, friction points a lot higher on the pedal than the last one, so its gonna take a bit of getting used to. shifts are so tight though, its awesome.

... but i apparently need to replace my turbo studs sometime soon. f**k.

that cars made an appearance on the 'stupidest things youve seen done to a car' thread on the 31 club...

... about 5 times.

sure its not your inlet temp sensor taking timing out the car cause its hot

Weeeell no not sure at all.... where is the inlet temp sensor? The problem is sporadic (aka in the 20 minute drive, it probably lost power/started to stall 3-4 times but a little bit more accelerator helped it out of the stuttering...)

If I can clean it or check the wires, it'd be a good place to start...

Its right at the front of the Plenum, but i doubt that is the problem.

Inside the plenum or outside? Would love a pic if anyone has one? :blink: I'll see what happens on the way home - if I get some twitching ill pull over and give it a bit of a wiggle, maybe test it with a multimeter when I get home

Here it is i think.

Got my new type M front bar today. I'd love to get around to fitting it tonight, but its too freakin hot.

I'll leave it until the weekend. Might still take a pic tho :blink:

fuuk you ETSA

last night we where without power from 7 pm till 4:30 am, which = me getting no sleep.

we had to sit outside cos it was so hot inside.

get this, my aquarium heater is set at 27 deg. the thermometer always shows round 26 ish

when the power went off yesterday, i feared that maybe the water would cool and the fish would die,

nope, the exact opposite, it got so hot in here, the water temp went UP to 31 deg at 2:30 this morning.

by the time the place got cool again and i fell asleep it was 5:30 am

and guess what i come home to this afternoon? yup, power cut.

thanks ETSA.

That was so foul, no one bought it for even $4K ;)

What is it with these fools who do up Magnas? :blink: I saw one the other day lowered to all hell, with dark, dark tint and loud exhaust. Don't these fools know they're not a car you bling!?!

I owed 3 Magnas and I never did any of that shit ... waste of money!

Lol try saying that on the Magna Car Club of SA haha!! They're nuts on that forum. They love the Magna's!!

Lol I wouldn't even dare to start up my GTR in this heat. It'd suck enough hot air in just idling!

Same, and i deff would't even think about hitting boost, imagine the air temps going into the motor. I dont think the intercooler would do much in this heat. Probably just heat the air more :blink:

It's a bit sus, Kye. What if the guy on the bike ran into the car? What if he had no reflective gear? Etc.

its also the fact that since there is NO sholder on the road heading towards victor/mclaren vale, means the bike rider was riding on the road in the actual lane plus there are no street lights at all so its pitch black.

so if the guy didnt do a runner, he may have been let off abit lighter.

Haha - you know about Terry Kennedy and his diss track to Lupe? "Kick Push Pass".... its all documented in one of the Beef series (number 4 I think) but I think its funny as hell - they interview a bunch of skaters and say 'all lupe did was a little ollie at the end of his video'

-D

haha nah i havent heard that one. everytime i see him on tv i laugh though haha.

wouldnt suprise me if thats all he did in a skate vid. that was pretty much all he could do :(

    • 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.
