Would have loved to test you at Bathurst buddy, but as I race all year and not able to do one off massive dollar events, you can hone your long lost skills on your own.:blush:

Seeing as how you are going to become my newest competitor, hope you have the balls to compete at every round and have the car to do it.:cool:

Oh and when you eventually find out what I'm up to I'll bet you won't even get to the 3rd round.:bomb_ie:

Cheers

Neil.

Maybe Pete should buy my car and race against you Neil!

That would be close and fun racing emoji3.png

Ryan, Pete wouldn't have the balls to take me on. Apparently he has bought a GTS-T,,, I'm running scared,,,NOT.

Cheryl has now been semi retired, most of my focus is on the Radical.

I have two planned events for the old girl though so she's not getting off being thrashed again.

Saturday night at Bathurst is the official NSW Hillclimb awards night from the past year and Cheryl got this,

She is actually up for sale if anybody is interested.

I haven't actually put anything together about the sale yet, but I will in the coming weeks.

If you are wondering what pricing I would be happy with, start thinking just north of $20 grand for absolutely everything I own relating to her. That means a shit load of spares, wheels, tyres, body panels, engine parts just to scratch the surface.

Feel free to ring me on 0419160561. If you have a private number I won't answer it, just leave me a message with your number and I'll ring you back.

Cheers

Neil.

Cheryl finally called it a day at the Nulon Nats.

After all her state hillclimb championship class wins she decided enough was enough.

Poor girl seeing 9000 grand all the time, I actually feel sorry for her.59bfa0e9c6827_20170728_1106491098.thumb.jpg.d250a92094e7d67cbd6af610f6d35817.jpg

Cheryl's not dead....she's just sleeping until a new engine comes along.

Admit it Neil, she is your favourite child compared to Zoe. She has been so much more loyal and less trouble.

Buggered if I'm playing favourites buddy.

Cheryl's new engine has actually passed the thinking stage,,, 

1st up is a massive head job,,,followed by re-profiled rb26 cams to suit hydraulic lifters.

Cheers

Love the thread neil! Love the amount of effort you have gone to to reduce weight and actually show the individual results of alot of the parts. Im working on my own 33 currently aiming for the 1300 flat mark so your build is great inspiration and gives me hope.

I have a question regarding the power steering, Do you still run it? And if so are you able to share the wiring required to keep it running after removing the hicas/abs ECUs.. thanks

  • 2 weeks later...

Hey Aaron, thanks for reading about her.

Yes I still run power steering, all we did from memory is remove all the rear steer wiring and everything worked properly. 

 

Cheers

Neil.

Wow, it's been 2 years since any posts, lots has changed in our lives, we no longer live in Sydney as we decided to get out and move to the country.  No more working out of a dirty damp 5 x 5 crap enclosed carport that leaked like a sieve with 2 cars in it.  We now have a 7 x 9 proper shed with a 2 car garage as well so I now have race car room for the 1st time in my life. The shed also has some roof space so I have been building the new shed to suit my needs and wants, mezzanine floor, dedicated spots for the girls and lower storage and machining area. That in self is a massive job for an old fart, I have so many parts I really needed room to store everything and trust me it's ongoing.  

The replacement engine is now built, just need to pick it up out of Sydney, shit that means we have to go back there again.

 

I have been very controlled with what I wanted for Cheryl, nothing crazy, I'm still running the factory exhaust manifold and high flowed turbo setup.

funny how you forgot to mention the rb30 swap!

And, if we aren't going to get any car pics, at least you should post up some shed pics :)

Kel mentioned Tamworth round is confirmed cancelled as well? Looks like I'll need to do club rounds at huntley or sdma

    • 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.
