i'll be back once only when all the necessary mods are done, might take a while but the next time I hit the track, no more pussy footing around and none of this keeping the revs low so I don't over heat kind of crap. I'll be back with a better handling car.......so watch out all.

i'll be getting swaybars, oil cooler installed, proper wheel alignment, will try to fit a 4 point harness, will also try to make some cooling ducts for the brakes. New brake fluids and a good bleed. GTR wing for more downforce.

well i did end up making it on sat to the track and if you think sun was quiet you should have come on sat there was only about ten cras through the whole day and i was one of them had a great time the car went good except a cloged fuel filter but was great to get out i might be going to one of the next ones early next year to give it another run. In the arvo i had thhe track to myself just for a drift session cause everyone else was to scared to get out when it rained. and the day was good cause they just let us go when we wanted no class separation.

people who are scared to go out on track just because its wet are majorly soft.

admitefly one was mal rose and he only had slicks. but it was good there was plenty of track time im hoping to go out again on either the 2nd 5th or 6th if im allowed and if i can afford it anybody else going on any of those dates?

hey guys, i think im gonna go on the 28th of December...

anyone else thinking of going?

ive never been before...this should be intertesting...

does evenyone go stupid fast or can you just go at your own pace? (not something silly like 60k...faster than that...)

hey mate good luck for your first day out - the main thing is to take it easy and build up speed carefully - and always pay attention, loosing concentration for even a second can be a mess.

just work up to speed once you are familiar with where the track goes, go nice and quick on the straights but treat the corners with care until you know how the car handles it. Also brake hard and early until you are sure of the speed you can make each corner.

start out easy and you'll have a ball!

Duncans advice rocks :)

As well as being safe and learning you and your cars limits, you MUST have fun!! :thumbsup: Its always important to come back in with a smile/grin on your face :)

James and Albert - go some whiteline sway bars from sydneykids group buy

and for the handbrake - meh, just get a drift button ;) mine works a treat!

^^ :)

drift button yo!,

yeah ill pm sydkid in abit

Waffles- I pop my track cherry last week :)

just ask everyone who were there how much fun i had :)

especially duncan! :thumbsup:

but nuh, you WILL enjoy youself, make sure you take it easy during your first lap, and work your way up as duncan said, is all from experience ;)

oh guys you rock, thanks for all the advice. im gonna take it real easy as i have just had my baby fully resprayed. but its crazy how quick the stone chips come about..grrrr

however im not so precious that i wont drive my car like it should be driven, hence the easy start into track time....can do all the great performance mods without stretching her legs!

ha ha ha i had just resprayed my front bar a couple of weeks ago, now i'll have to redo it again. this time gotta give it a few more coats and extra few coats of clear coat just in case

BTW frozenwaffles, as James will tell you - the most important thing to do before you get to the track is to bleed your brakes properly with good brake fluid like Motul RBF600. Nothing will stop the fun quicker than having no brakes left after 3 laps when you get to the end of the straight......

BTW you guys....handbrakes are for holding cars when you park them on a hill, not for track work :thumbsup:

    • 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.
