Well guys, the day has finally come.

The HipoGTR is on its way & a big thanks to Gio (its previous owner)...

Before I go onto talk about the collection & shipping. A number of people have asked me what the difference is on the limited edition 30 unit Vcam model I have. So Gio explained to me that the difference is:

(Gio and another friend of mine Dave, purchased 2 units via TS, with HKS keeping 2 back themselves) As far as we know, no other units exist outside the RH9 demo cars.

  • These units were not offered to customers to purchase
  • Sold to the RH9 shops only, such as TS
  • GT-R's had to be "pre-approved"
  • Were pre-production models, to show what the VCAM to do
  • Fitted to the RH9 demo cars
  • All ltd edition VCAMS were hand built, with superior parts than is widely found in the VCAMs now available.
  • mental price tag lol

I hope this helps people's questions.

I thought this would be interesting for others to see, and certainly makes the wait for me more exciting!

At 10am local Japanese time, we arranged for a bespoke car trailer to arrive at Gio's & collect the HipoGTR.

Gio was kind enough to take some pictures of it, as it left….

Waiting for its low loader….

Hi

the wheels are Rays 19" TE37s custom finish

(friend of mine has them on his 34 as well - we supplied them)

price - im afraid i will not / cannot discuss that. It is of no importance to anyone apart from myself.

but put it this way, cost wasnt an issue in the buliding of this 34

Yes it used to be blue:

its the same car that "JUST JAP" is using as his avatar on here

the car went back to TS for new aero kit, retune and few other bits and pieces like full strip down, and seamweld the chassis

you can also see it on the following videos

used on the National Geographic R35 Film

im sure there are more but thats about it

320kph run

visit to TS

(some chaps just filmed the car..random video)

Bloody Hell

I just brought a modded Black R34 GTR V-Spec, but this make me feel as if i just brought Corolla

Wow.... more photos when it arrives in Australia please

i think it was featured in one of your magazines over there

i am actually trying to get a copy

its not gonig anywhwere near Oz im afraid

TS were also kind enough to provide this

nice little touch that they give owners of their TS cars to stick on the top of the TS shifter

(each one is different depending on power, so 400ps and over etc)

Must be HPI or something like that

just saw your signature "Based in Japan"

You Car is amazing by the way

You Car is amazing by the way

maybe, i can find out as its my friend who supplied the photos that he took of the car to the magazine

Newera is based in Japan

all parts & cars are shipped out JP, via Newera base

however i am based in the UK

so this GT-R will be shipped to the UK

i love this car especially the smaller stands for the rear spoiler it looks awesome.

just got a quick question, was anything done to the gearbox?

Thanks guys

Yes it was - Scott also remember to give us a call about your item ;-)

i love this car!! the HPI magazine shoot is awesome. power, looks and best of all everything is so subtle!

+1

any bloke in his SS wouldnt know whether it has 350hp or 800hp. unless he see's what's written on the gear knob, lol.

    • 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.
