hey all . just lookin to get in touch with fellow nz stagea Enthusiasts . because there is farc all on the internet about it . and SAU is a fairly decent bunch of roosters . yeah im in chc h. bought the silver RS four S from indy cars . got it for 14500 inc ORC and a service . which i thiught was a pretty good deal because its in bloody good nick. not any wear at all on the seats or steering wheel . and it is the only one with sunroofs i could find in a year of searching . has sinc had a HDI front mount kit , cat basher out and a R32 waste gate actuator on it . bloody rapped . does anyone know who ownes the (stock) identical car ive seen regularily around chch . silver RS four S.

also got a mate who is putting a RB30dett in a series one stage

Hey Lachlan

I'm in Dunners with a white Series 1 25X. It's pretty stock as Stageas go, and it has a couple of battle scars, but I love it! Have you had a look at the Southern Skyline Enthusiasts site? There are a couple of other Stagea drivers there. There's also a meet at the Dunedin ice rink on November 1st if you can make it. Always good to see another 'hearse' around the place.

:P

there's a video of a black stag on youtube doin a slide into a corner, overshooting it and ripping his rear bar off (if i could find it i'd post it). the guys accents are kiwi - i've always wanted to see more of that car as it's VERY nice looking :)

any idea guys?

There's a few Stagea owners on SDU http://www.skylinesdownunder.co.nz/index.php but no where near as many as on SAU. There are several stealthy RB26 powered cars in Auckland but they are going too fast for me to speak to the owners. There's one stock looking car with a number plate surround that says "2.6L V8 eater" that shot by out West at the speed of light. My own ambitions are more modest...limited by lack of $$$ so currently 155 AWKW and probably have to settle for about 220AWKW when I have saved up for a new turbo.

I know this video well, but all I know about the car is that it was from Empire Imports in Christchurch, and that info was from when I posted it in the SSE forums.

    • 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.
