Hey Guys,

These are what i took in the last hour or so of track time. Dont ask me if i have anymore as the rest are crap. It was the first time i've used my SLR for drifting and the camera wasn't set up properly. Im happy to give out the full size files to those that are good with photoshop :P

it doesnt look that bad in the pics

just get a head light and a gtst reo and bumper and with a garden edge lip,

looks tuff, cheap and wont brake when u hit stuff :P

but i do love my gtr bar :)

hey russ, we should have a GTR reo and bar at driftline if you wanna swing by.

Awesome mate. I'll call tomorrow.

Garden edge lip?

I can't imagine my car without a GTR bar haha. I'm hoping to get a genuine one so I dont crack it when I hit cones. Haha. I do it a lot...

It's a shame about what happened Russman but its good to hear the damage isn't too extensive.

I really struggled in the morning. After having a handbrake that only ever locked up one wheel I decided to get all new genuine cables and a pair of project mu's brake shoes, and now the handbrake works too well, it's ridicules! Whenever I went to use it, before I knew it, I was backwards, especially in the wet. After spinning so much in the morning it really shot my confidence, and I wasn't game to go in the tandem line, which I think made it worse because after having to wait 10-15mins the tyres were stone cold.

I ran a really aggressive alignment on the day and it felt like I was really fighting the car all morning, but after driving in to Benella at lunchtime and getting an alignment the car felt so much more predictable, not to mention having massive amounts of front grip in the expression sessions. I just need to practice for the practice day. :)

Thanks to Vicdrift and all of the volunteers who helped make the day possible.

What did you do with the alignment?

What have you done to my car Russ? Awww man! :)

I have my old reo as well that you are welcome to, has been cut to suit the HKS intercooler and it clears GTR bars so you should be all set. Grab it off Mick while you are getting the intercooler.

If you are stuck for headlights then let me know as i hate my std jobbies and want to get a pair of N1s which are black on the inside so may be able to come to an arrangment on ligths as well. So i may grab some from Japan if you want to buy mine

...and your car is a circuit car...not a drift car :dry: . I drifted my car for about a 12 months and after having an acco which meant i just kissed some tyres and marked my bodywork soon realised that panel beaters earn more then me and cant afford to go drifting :D Plus drifting at Calder soon got old, but was still a fun thing to do of a Sunday afternoon

At least you got to drift at calder, gotta make the trek to Winton these days.

Yeah I just love the sideways action. I can't get enough of it! When our drift sil80 is built I can make mine a lot better at circuit. Having a compromise is a bit hard sometimes.

So do you have new reo then? How come you changed it? Are your lights projector headlights? mine are/were the ones without the projectors. They're a bit rarer.

I feel bad pulling all these parts of your car haha.

I wish they still had drift at calder. I never got the chance to go when it was on.

What did you do with the alignment?

After having too much grip at the last practice day I decided to back the rear toe off to zero, as apposed to 2mm toe in (total) but it just made the car far too oversteery and really I needed all the grip I could get in the wet. On the front I started running 4mm toe out (total) and at lunchtime had it backed off to 2mm toe out (total) on the front and 2mm toe in (total) at the rear. I don't think the extra toe out on the front was such a bad thing but I just wanted to run a setup that I was familiar with. I think next track day I will run 4mm toe out up front and 2mm toe in at the rear.

where do u buy project mu's brake shoes, i need some for the next winton

i hope my clutch and 31 gear box holds up, iv got no time to insall the 33box and a new plate

Russman: You are right, but personally the car just felt too oversteery in the morning. Having said that though, it probably had more to do with the lack of front end grip in the wet, but because i didn't get to try the allignment in the dry it's a bit hard to say, next track day i'll try something in between and see how that goes.

    • 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.
