well i own a R 33 GTS T and this afternoon as i was making my way home and i come across an R 33 GTR V-Spec, (well yes the car of my dreams!) so slowly i creep behind as we aproch the lights! the driver notices me and gives a little grin (mind you driver is roughly in his 40's) lights are green and he lets the clutch out leeding me to belive he is just another old fart driving a magnificent car at only a quarter of its potential, but then with a fuel dump bluring my vision for a split second he was gone! wow its on. releasing all possiable horses i grab the stick shift to second then third pulling beside him at the next red light!

his wife also older giggling and smilling as i chuckle and listen to the sound of two magnificant cars stalling at about 2200rpm (well thats what i was at) lights are green and where off (RACING) so off the lights wheel spinning (as all GTS T's do) i find my self only half a GTR behind as i click second feeling the rear trying to pass me still as i try to retain traction slip to third out to about 6600rpm and were both off the gas pop to fith and puring down the road like a quire on a perfect note. but only finishing half a car behind???

THIS HAS ME PUZZLED! i understand his only got .1 of a litre more but one extra turbo and probbably 15,000 dollars more for roughly .500 of a second quicker. i dont no, it was roughly 200 meters was he just playing or was it seriously close maybe another 200 meters and would i have prefered to be walking???

this has NOT changed my mind of course i still want one but maybe not for the power anymore!

any thoughts would be great!!!

Remember the driver is a factor too.

Take yesterday for example - Gerald's R34 is stock - and there was no-way in hell I could keep up with him.

Why? He's a better driver. Simple.

So... perhaps your GTR driver was taking it easy, perhaps he's juts not that quick on gear changes...

GTRs are very fast when in the right hands - just ask Jet :)

isnt straight line what we r talking about????

why does every one say.. " but prob only in a striaght line "

i dont understand this

when have you ever had a lil run with some one and ended up turning corners .. i dont know about us but ive never done a 2 fast and 2 furios job cause personally i think its stupid and more dangerious then straight line... i had the exact same arguement with a guy in an integra... he goes.. yeh u can beat me straight line but what about corners?? wtf?? when do u ever take corners at 80 90 ks on da road and how often do u go onb da track.... plus considering most . if not all 10 sec cars and under are all rear wheel drives anways...... who cares about corners...

Its not like you can't drive a RWD hard into corners either :) you just gotta choose a different line and shoot out the other side. It just takes a bit more thought and control that's all. The gts-t skylines (esp the 33) aren't that well balanced for a RWD setup as some.

I think the key is a 4WD is pretty much idiot proof where as a RWD it is less so... a lot of track cars are all RWD as well. You don't notice F1 cars being 4WD do you?? lol.

You give one unexperienced driver a FWD and another a RWD, and the FWD will be better around corners... Anyway, Honda drivers.. pft..

Mnay people have run real low thirteens (13.02) and even into the 12's with a standard GTR. Stock for stock the GTR will be considerably faster.

And for the record there is a lot more too All Wheel drive than just being idiot proof. With an experienced/knowledable they will get far more out of a car with All Wheel Drive than a rear wheel drive car as it allows the driver to get more power too the ground at any one time as well as allowing the driver to get on the power far earlier into the corner and too do it with more gusto. Of course you can get a 2wd car around corners quick but it is a different league in regards AWD. Some AWD car have excessive understeer as they turn into a corner and push through when pushed too hard. The GTR does not suffer this but can have excessive oversteer but small mods can alter this to make the car extremely neutral in it handling when combined with the traction that AWD provides it is hard to beat when really pushing through the twisty stuff.

    • 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.
