Sorry, back on topic.

Alls good mate,,,speaking of dry sumps,,,I rang ASR today,,,$850 bucks. Looks like I'm making my own or if that fails I know someone that can make me one.

My poor tow car needs some rust cut out,,,so it's off tomorrow to get that fixed,,,I could do it myself but it's a great opportunity to get Cheryl's front bar and lower lip fixed and painted. He can paint my carbon boot lid and while he's at it give me extra paint for the interior. I'm quessing but would 2 litres be enough for the cage and floor?.

Cheers

Neil.

Gday Jay... you are Brad's mate I met at his place right? Don't worry you can hang onto it, I just quizzed him about the design and asked for a photo :)

Sorry, back on topic.

Yeah that's me. There's a running joke between Brad and myself about him selling off my random car parts that are in his garage.

It's all good as I want to change the design slightly to suit my pump and try something different so if we sell that one we'll just cut up another one to suit.

I'm quessing but would 2 litres be enough for the cage and floor?.

I think 2 litres will be plenty. We used about half a litre to paint the floor and both fire walls of the r32 by brush.

Hi Neil,

2 litres should be plenty, from memory we had 2 litres to do the entire interior and majority of the exterior and also and I think there is still about 1/2 a litre left, if you know what you are doing you should probably get away with 1 litre.

Stay sidewayz kidz!

You and Duncan seem to be having just too much fun with your R33 build so I thought that I should also get into the act with a dedicated track car. I just happened to pick up another R33 during the week.

The guy said that it had a scratch on the drivers side rear quarter but with a bit of work it would polish out.

It was lucky that I just happen to have another spare shell at the bottom of my garden to get some straight panels off.

Now the fun starts all over again - or should this just be another parts car......... :banana:

Not much fun at the moment Charles,,,this heat is slowing both of us down. Great to see you are looking at a dedicated track/race car. If you get stuck or need to know something,,,I'm only a pm away mate.

Got my painted and repaired bits back and the falcon got her rust cut-out. Unfortunately my m-spec lower lip is un-repairable,,,so I'm going to have to find a new one,,,bummer. Fords are rust bloody buckets,,,both it and Cheryl are 96 models,,,Cheryl has no rust whatsoever,,,but the falcon is suffering in small spots everywhere.

Doesn't look like carbon fibre anymore

It was time to decide on a pair of seats,,,I was after steel framed ones and finally choose these. A little bartering with Joseph at Revolution I got these seats,,,a pair of aluminum mounts and 6 roll cage tubes at a great price. The great thing about these particular seats is they are bottom mount and side mount. So I can use the mounts on the side to install them directly to the passenger floor permanently and the drivers seat can use my adjustable track. Much thanks to Matt and Mark for the offers of seats,,,but the price I got for everything was excellent.

No chance of work today,,,Saturday's sweating was enough. Think I'll sit here,,,do some research and drink beers.

Something I forgot to mention when Brad did my cage which was really cool,,,he welded up my clutch and brake peddle boxes,,,Nismo style. Nice touch mate and not even asked for. :cheers:

Cheers

Neil.

Glad old mate Joseph looked after you mate. I still buy everything I can from joseph and dean. All my set-up gear came from them too.

MIG was out and pedals were exposed so it's all a part of the little things we do to finish off the job.

  • 3 weeks later...

Time for an update,,,Saturdays work consisted of getting the drivers seat rail sorted,,,after a lot of measuring,,,cutting and finally welded I got it finished. The seat rail was originally setup for my old daytona seat but the sparco seat mounts are in a different spot and as I have to fit 3 different length humans in her,,,I moved it a little more forward than usual. Hope Kel fits!!!. That took up most of my day and I'm happy to say the car will break before the seat mounts do,,,.

Painted the rear tow hook and mounted it,,,nice easy glory job to finish the day off,,,

post-29-0-96555900-1298280829_thumb.jpg

before getting on the piss with the boys at a certain persons engagement party. It was great to sink some piss with the Handleys and Jenna/Fatz,,,talking shit all night,,,was a great night thanks Lisa and Brad.

Sunday turned into a bludge day,,,all I really did was setup my rear shocks and search the net for more gear,,,bought a sheet of carbon fibre which I was going to use to mount gauges but now I'm going to make the radical a new dash. Pics are rubbish because it's covered in plastic. Did lots of sleeping so I could get up early and watch the Daytona 500,,,pity non of my fav drivers did any good,,,Juan got 6th,,,Stewart got 13th and Marcos as usual got mixed up early in a big smash and ended 37th.

Cheers

Neil.

I watch and oh so want to wander down the hill to play... I'll have to call and make a plan...

Your always welcome Dan.

I've actually booked a weeks holiday next week so I can get some work done. I'm making a list of what to do,,,it never gets any shorter!!!.

Mr courier delivered this today. I was going to go a full custom cooler but whats the point,,,this one will do the job and they are so cheap these days. The whole kit cost me under $700 bucks,,,my old one which was much the same bought 8 years ago cost $2200.

Cheers

Neil I got your email mate.

That's just the regular version. If you can get the "race" version it is easier to machine up a neater drive mandrel.

Can be done on that one you showed me I have one here but it's not as neat

Damn Brad does good work with those cages!!

How did you get on with the Motec old man?

Yea he sure does Werdna Zeb-Drew. Actually thanks for reminding me about the cage,,,I've decided I'm not painting it or the interior,,,. We have found a very helpful shop thats willing to do it all cheap. They fixed my front bar and painted it,,,filled/painted my boot lid and cut the rust out of the falcon for nothing,,,we ended up paying them with 4 cases of Stella. The boys were stoked.

So I now need to get all the interior sorted,,,all the excess studs ect removed and drill the holes for my lap timer,,,. I'm going to have a very busy holiday.

I've not even contemplated Motec at the moment mate,,,that will come when I need telemetry and have out-grown the power fc which could be a while yet.

I'm on the hunt for wheels at the moment,,,I like these with not so much dish

post-29-0-76606600-1298537851_thumb.jpg

and these old school ones,,,but in black.

post-29-0-85921300-1298540195_thumb.jpg

Trouble is they have to be 17 x 8's and I need 5. If anybody has something,,,post them up.

Cheers

Neil

the lensos are a good cheap rim. and if you want some wider rims later you can get the same style but wider. these rims are avalible everywhere if you ask the right people and you can buy them individualy even thoe the salesmen say no.

my thoughts on wheels for r33s is not to get somthing with any kind of dish if its as small as 17" you idealy want somthing that has spokes that come right out to the edge to make the rims look big as an r33 will swallow small looking rims. these dont come in the right size but somthing that looks like this origin wheel. http://www.japaneseimportspares.com.au/origin/ the origin dna02 is the one im talking about.

cst hyper zero is also a good rim but i dont think they come in the desired size either.

    • 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.
