Yeah was a good day for it. My mate Andrew ended up doing a 12.9 in the grey 33 and lifted 3/4 track because the drivers inner guard came out. So would have been 12.5/12.6ish full noise all the way. Seems plenty of practice with the starts would make a world of difference.

yeah I saw that run, I was like wtf?!

I found this interesting thread on aero which I wanted for later so I'll leave it here http://www.timeattackforums.com/forums/aero-dynamics/1177-front-splitter-design-properties-2.html

hahaha... yeah, No. lol. about half came from that, other half I shanghaied off Brads car.

I may not of read that thread well enough, didnt seem to go much into dive fins/canards and fin area and attack angles etc, so again will just mess around with those. will mount them so they can come on and off easily

Alright, bit of an update with my car.

- I've got some new Just Jap Camber arms,

- got my LCAs modded so they're adjustable and rose jointed now,

- oil restrictors in

- new sump on the way

- installed Haltech IQ3 GPS logger dash as well as a few more sensors here and there.

- shed is fully stocked with tyres ready for Super Sprints on the 30th oct and the Round 5 of Tas Drift series on the 5th Nov.

I've got a new front bar too that I'm going to attempt to make a splitter for but will most likely be terribad.

Shooting for a 59 second lap around basky on the 30th assuming the weather is awesome :)

Saving up for some 18" wheels too, not really sure what to get though, I'm thinking D1R Lensos still because they're really cheap, but there is something about them that makes me not want to buy them...

Setup for sprints will be maybe soften up the rear end a little to stop me sliding around like an asshole

-4.5 degrees camber on the front, -1.2 on the rear (not adjustable yet); Hoping more camber on the front will help the mid corner understeer I've been getting.

Aiming high now and going for a 59 second lap around basky on my drift tyres. (still saving up for some semis)

Goals for drift include doing a whole run without spinning out :) haha. Just qualifying would be awesome.

Anyway, wish me luck and I hope too see you out there on the track with me :)

Edit: Shitty phone video of dash

I had a great weekend drifting.

Car went well, I drove pretty well too. Best drift ever on my 2nd Qualifying run. Actually Qualified but then I lost my first battle, oh well, who wins their first one! Still had a blast.

Here is a

of the battle.

Here are some pics

I had a little trouble with the ECU forgetting all of it's outputs though which was a bit of a troll. Turned off the Rev limiter, Turned off VCT and Turned off boost control so it was just running gate pressure, Lucky I had my laptop there so I setup the Limiter and Boost again but I didn't want to touch the VCT because it was a little scary, so mid range power suffered.

Didn't have any problems with oil control at all, got maybe 10mls in the catch can. Oil pressure stayed steady all day, only dipped when I spun out and let the revs drop below 1500rpm.

Added a baffle to the catch can too which worked very well. Also got my new rocker covers on now too, paint on them looks shit though because I'm an asshole and didn't do a very good job prepping them.

So yeah, all in all, a good day was had.

Finally made the time to make the logging\dash software my bitch, I thought a few of you here would enjoy this

That's a screeny from my first qualifying lap at sprints the other day. The Blue line is Oil pressure and the Magenta line is Speed according to the GPS. You'll notice the oil pressure drops when I brake; the dash also logs G forces too and it said my Max pulled 2gs under brakes and 1.6gs around a corner.

Fun times playing with this software, it's a little clunky but I've got it pretty worked out now. Next video I make I should be able to have the on screen speed and RPM stuff displayed

Good to see your oil issues are sorted. The software is pretty clunky, but it can do some very smart things with math channels (calculate fuel burn rates etc), just takes time to learn it.

Your car looked a bit of a handfull. Seemed to be very snappy, how did it feel?

car was feeling great, had heeeeeeaps of traction and really good hookup maybe a bit too much, but no power really made me sad, i've got it all back to normal now though i hope.

I just need to drive it more.

    • 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.
