got my remsa pads on my desk (apparently between the qfm hpx and ar1m but still low rotor wear and dust)

i really want to put them in tmrw but i also want to machine the front rotors :(

really wishing i was either in qld (my mate has lathes and stuff) or had a big lathe in my garage

I have a lathe the disks fit onto Tom but I could never hold them in the chuck well enough to face them properly, they need to be bolted/clamped in. My local bloke machines disks for $20 each anyway so I don't bother.

I have a set of Brembo's I am rebuilding at the moment, new seals etc. When he machined the Brembo disks he had to change to a carbide cutter as they were so hard. Pita for him apparently.

Another frustrating week of waiting for my Aero kit to be painted.rant.gif

Dropped in on Thursday; to see the bars in primer, looking slick as, waiting for paint!woot.gif

Hopefully they'll be on by the weekend!

The bolts that mount the sides of the rear bar (top edge) are these accessed from the boot? What trim do I need to remove to access them?

Thanks in advance.wave.gif

yeah i think jap rotors > australian rotors

we did a pair of 31 rear rotors at my mates workshop over summer and they went well (any the calliper had locked on so the surface was blue = hard) and it took the surface off well, it just takes a long time to set them up and make sure they are true plus most lathes won't reach and do both sides without flipping the rotor around

so if you have to pay someone to run them on a regular lathe = exxy because its time consuming, but if you free lathing (like i do at uni banana.gif) then its kinda worth it

yes

just the inside trim each side. dont lose any of the nuts, i dont have 100s of them spare lol

Thanks Iain :thumbsup: Man, I need to tee up with you to pick up that arm too; totally forgot about it! You about one night this week?

Cheers, Dale.

took off the stock airbox apart, washed and cleaned the top front part (lots of dirt and gunk in there for some reason), took off part of the resonator (broke a couple of clips in the process pinch.gif), took the car out and the engine sounds louder, but wanted a bit more loud, any suggestions other than changing to pod filter?

if your wanting abit more loud without tuning, i wouldnt do this.

you would need an eManage as you'll be hitting airflow cut quite often

agree with aaron...not planning to get any piggyback ecu or anything, just want a cheap way to make the intake sound louder without using pod filter...

what about the part underneath the panel filter? can i block it somehow?

If you want more noise you can leave the top off the airbox - down side is warmer intake temps. Your choice - more noise or better performance. If you block off the bottom of the airbox the car probably won't go at all.

Hey Chris whats wheels are they? Mate of mine asked and I assumed XD9's at quick glance but they are indeed different, not to mention they don't make XD9's in 19"...

They are a CE28 copy by a company called Varrstoen.

CE28! I forgot about them. Are they quality copies? I've been living in a carless world in the mountains of Canada for the last year and a bit - amazing how much has changed in the mean time lol.

Varrstoen probably make one of the nicest copies going around... They actually make wheels is good size/width and offsets unlike most Chinese wheels which haven't much selection at all.

Yeah I was keen on WedsSport SA-67R's for my M35 until I realised that I'd either be cramming a 10" wheel onto my car or run a 9" wheel with spacers. I know Lense Corse do the LC818 but getting the right size is proving tricky (everyone wants to sell a staggered set).

Pics of the car yet?

Oh and today i took my car our to mallala for the g1 drift.

Drove half a lap to the start to get some different camera angles and went to start it and had no power left >_<

Getting your car jump started in front of a few thousand people on a race track is embarrassing... New battery this week methinks...

    • 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.
