And Roy, you werent seriously paying out Doughboy were you? I thought you were having a sarcastic go at nicknick.

Depends...if he lets me overtake him at track days, just to preserve my fragile ego then all is good. :) ...or even better buddies up with me for the Dutton Rally, his combi can be the spares van :(

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. What a laugh. When will these dreamers learn to actually pull a decent time before blowing their bags. Thats the only problem with these forums - too many dreamers. Did this "10 sec GTR" run at WSID???? probably not.

Yep. It is. And it has run a nine. And it will again soon. Even if it never ran again, I still pulled the time.

Fact is, this dickdick guy has insulted people I know.He should pull his head in & run a decent time before dreaming on & sticking it up other Skyline owners that are nothing but helpfull & decent people.

As for my car - it has been off the road for a while(have been playing with other cars) but will be up & running soon with a totally new setup.

What will it run? I'll wait & find out before posting on here wont I!!!

True. On another note. Alice would be wiked. Not far from no speed limits - I wish.

Just lost my licence for the 15th time!!!!! That is not a typo!!!

Got to the point where I am learning for my pilots licence. At least up there there is no speed limit. Biggest problem is I cant work out how to fit the wings on my GTR yet.

well, I force myself to run thru the no speed limit zone on the 50k trip to work each day....of course its not as fun as it could be with the speed limiter still in :D Also, not a corner to be found for miles out there

but, its not *really* that hard to stick to the speed limit is it? You need to get out on the circuit more.....I'd lost my license 3 times before 20 (pretty poor effort), but now I just get it out of my system on the track instead.

Hi Munro, get that pilot's licence, fly to New Zealand and get a driver's licence there. Works for a few guys. But you are so well known, Adelaide ain't that big and your cars are easily spotted, so it probably wouldn't work for you.

On another subject, that other turbo car of yours, it has a water to air intercooler doesn't it? If it has, how do you find it works in the summer heat?

It's legal to drive here with alot of international licenses. There was a scam a few years ago where people were getting their international license (a generic one issued from NRMA and other "motoring" groups) without having a "real" license first. I'm pretty sure you can still do that.....

Hi Steve, at last count, about 1 million visitors to Australia each year drive legally without an Australian license. I have no idea how many do it illegally.

Hi Chris, I don't think they have international licenses anymore, you just use your own country's licence, that's what I do when I go overseas now.

If you have an NZ licence, you just have to remember the formulas....

I = U (as in fush and chups)

A = AR (as in larmb chops)

Sheep = Gurlfriend

All Blacks = Gods

Once you have that mastered, you can pass yourself off easily.

When i went OS, i was told that an OZ licence is all thats required to hire cars from OS outlets, so was good enough for me

... that said to drive in Indonesia you have to be OVER .05 otherwise its just not fun, and its far too easy for the locals to psyche you out with their driving, a bit of dutch courage and you can mix it with the best drivers that Indonesia has to offer. :P

I sure as hell hope that NSW RTA doesnt recognise an Indo licence as an quivelant, or French for that matter, they are nutz behind the wheel as well :flamed:

    • 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.
