After a few hundred laps of Oran Park, a handful at the Creek, a 10 second quarter mile, and 80-odd laps of Bathurst, I needed something different.....Texi Skids. Yep I took the R35 out to the skids last weekend, managed to finish first in the Go to Whoa, and then got into some drifting! To be honest, some of the Skyline boys were absolute genius drifters, and I was the novice. That said, for a first timer the R35 and I went ok. Check out the photos below and the VIDEO!!!!!!

great driving the other day, and I'm surprised how much sideways action the computers let you get away with in the wet.....you had some pretty big angles going and the car wasn't calling "game over"

good to see another r35 being treated the way they should be

Was very disappointed to find that the GTR is not a proper auto instead a manual. WHen back home in Moldova i will get another AMG

LOL what are you smoking my soviet friend???? GTR has always been manual untill now in which case its still a manual with auto twin clutch..... An AMG is completely different, and which AMG, none of them compare to a gtr in any comparison no matter how you look at it?????

Glad you had nothing to do with the R35's development, because i suspect if you did we would be shit canning it right now!

Looks rather understeery?!?!?!?! I imagine the twin clutch gearbox makes it hard to do these sort of events as you cant really handbrake and clutch drop to get the car around the tighter cones. Well at least thats what they tell me regarding the EVO Xs with flappy gearbox so expect teh GTR could suffer the same fate

Goddamn, this thing sounded awesome!

Had the pleasure of being one of the officials there, which meant i was literally 10cm from the car when it launched. Down side was having to sit down straight after to hide the tent!

Also i was the one that timed you on the Go-to-Whoa and to see you do it almost 2 seconds quicker than anyone else was pretty awesome.

EXACTLY! God I miss my STi in these kind of events. You hit the handbrake in the GT-R and I think diff releases to allow rears to lock and then when u go to power on again it take what feels like an eternity for the electronics to allow the throttles to open again.

Cheers, yeah it was pretty good on the Go-to-whoa, would have been a lot quicker in the dry though!!! Whilst you could argue the combination of weight, no handbrake, and no clutch led to understeer, it would be more accurate to blame the driver. It was my first time in this sort of event, and I was just learning the ropes. We did a couple of runs with no specific course, and I managed to get the thing humming, but it will take a fair bit of practice to nail those tight courses.

Anyway, I highly recommend the event.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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.
