Hi all,

As you may or may not be aware next year (2009) will mark twenty years since the R32 GTR first rolled off the production line. So im thinking lets do something to celebrate.

The way i see it, we've got a whole year to prepare. So that gives us heaps of time to organise things like venue, dates, events, possibly guest speakers, things like that.

I rekon the style of event should be something for everyone. Possibly at a racetrack, or somewhere like DECA, where we can have on track events, show and shines, maybe trade stands and other attractions.

We could try and get certain "hero cars" to attend, e.g. gibson motorsport godzilla's. Maybe even try to get guest speakers like Jim Richards or Mark Skafe.

Im thinking BIG! something that will get coverage in things like magazines, ignition dvd etc...

I also think that an event like this will have no trouble in attracting sponsors to help out in putting this all together. And it can only do good things for the reputation of SAU.

Now i want your opinions and ideas on how we can make something like this happen.

So come on everyone, post away...

Cheers,

Matty.

brilliant idea and i think it should be at a track so you can have show and shines and stands and cruise along the track and stuff like that.

we should have it as a fundraiser so SAUVIC can buy a r35gtr and every memeber gets to have it for a day :) .

i doubt that we all would get to have it for a day maybe a drive round the carpark

I'm not old enough to remember/know, but the GTR was known from winning races on Mount Panorama? Maybe we could organise a huge cruise up to the the mountain itself?

I don't know, just throwing ideas around.

You are telling me that you have never seen the 92 Bathurst that it one :) shame on you get a copy and watch it

I rekkin thats great, Ill be off my P's by then so ill be able to drive legal up there. So one vote for this idea.

Nah, I haven't seen any of the races which had GTRs in it to be honest. The GTRs were dominating when I was born/learning how to eat. hahaha.

** goes to youtube ***

    • 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.
