I want to build up a DR30, but not as a burnout car just as a nice car :P

Long live the box/wedge !

Hells yeah!!!

Nah im thinking the same.. not just a burnout car... but a nice one :teehee:

Just cut the crap and put a merlin v16 out of a spitfire in it! It's different and it'll fry your tires quicker than you can say "get a dog up ya!"

My friend Jeremy is DJing at 151 so I will be there for sure. If you want to buy me a drink or three I'll be wearing a v-neck and jeans.

No that's what i'm wearing, i had dibs first.

irony (ˈaɪrənɪ)

—n , pl -nies

1. the humorous or mildly sarcastic use of words to imply the opposite of what they normally mean

2. an instance of this, used to draw attention to some incongruity or irrationality

Anyway, I figured if you have 40k to spend on a 31 your night out budget must be close to $5000, so drinks at 151, :)

Wasn't the Merlin a 12 cyl? Not trying to be a smart arse or anything. Anyway, +1 for the spitfire engine conversion, especially a Merlin 131, 2000HP at 25psi :)

We have a Merlin here at the Mech eng building at uni all cut up so you can see it in operation, thing is awesome.

amusing thread lol

talk of:

lesbians

eating books

ta ta's (Which we still need a pic of)

spending ridiculas amounts on a terrible engine

wooly mamoths

how hektic skidz require no skill

now there are a few more things i feel should be re-itterated

for administration purposes we require a ta ta shot...

the average 'nats' spectator has an iq figure of 40 and has the interlectual ability of a gumboot...

just put an ls1 in ur car and never never never mention clevos again.

birds and clutch make me laugh and sometimes a bit of wee comes out.

cup size??

any f**kwhit can destroy their own/their mates/their mums car doing skids. hill climbs and track days require brain cells.

No wonder her front teeth are broken. If you looked like that I imagine most people would want to punch you square in the teeth.

yes if thats sherry in her avatar then she not bad at all lol.

I wouldbe a liar if I said I hadnt poured tens of thousands into my track car but f**k its a 33. Its a better platform. It still uses a nissan engine even if it is 3 litre. And it is a track car. Its a race car. U dont need 500 hp to do a skid. U need to not care about ur car so a 31 is an obvious choice but not one with 40 g spent on it.

Furthur more if I had my time again I would have a f**king house by now. Not a money pit skyline thats never gunna be that amazing considering we have cars like the mark berry r34 and even his old 32. Cars like that will be remembered. Ill just be broke and have an aging car with no resale value.

I think if burnouts are ur thing it would be remedial to spend 40 g and a car to do them. A dirtty 5 litre vs commy ute will cost u f**k all and sit on rubber destroying cooks all day lol. And cost f**k all to fix when it breaks.

I swear I did say something as in... not just for skids.. you guys need to read better...

Plus I also said I used to do hillclimbs aswell =/

Yes it is me in my avatar.

will u go out with me

this is me in my avatar

    • 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.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
