Rolls: yup.. that went out the window.. if those linkages werent there the thing would fit sweet as! but noooo. you can get internally shifted jericos but they are pricey.. about 6K for a internally shifted 5 speed road race one. (so about 8K in the car i guess)

and yeah i had a rb25 box in the s14 before it fits no worries.. i bashed the tunnel around the starter motor hump to make it easier but thats about it. and yes it looks like you'd have to chop the tunnel in a skyline also... not for a street car :S

whole conversion is turning out to be harder then i thought.. however thats due to no one else having done it before and making it up as i go,.

haha yeah external shifters is so old school... Jerico make an internally shifted version in 5 speed but its an extra 2.5K over the price of a basic one.

i called castlemaine rod shop.. they couldnt guarantee that the bellhousing would be strong enough for over 500 rwhp and for motorsport.. their casting is thin walled.. i was a bit turned off from that i guess and went to dellow.

the shifter on there atm is a borrowed item until Garage 7 finish building and designing a sequential shifter for it. dont like the renegate ones they seem way overpriced for what is basically a glorified hurst shifter.

Oh wow, amazing job dude. Looking at your previous post I thought the inside was going to be butchered, but that little stitch up job looks awesome! How much further over is the shifter, will that make it any harder to drive?

haha i have proper shifter on now!

33 sounds good :D

Haha, wish I could be at the event to see this in action, this has to be one of the most developed cars out there... Think it's time to open a workshop together !!! Your skill and my nothing would be awesome lol. But seriously.... Workshop....

    • 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.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
