ROFL Dean..

Your guess is as good as mine..

But I do know, Tillbrooks are working pretty hard to get them finished. I think its almost been a year now that they have not been on the road. Its ironic, i have never seen John race the whole time we've been together, maybe I am bad luck?

Ps. Congratulations Matt... I wanna see your burnouts!

Andy, yeah mate the track was much grippier than the Wednesday night, as you'd expect. I still had 1st and 2nd gear w/spin on most of the passes, but 3rd was fine.

As Chops said there was quite a few running, but at least 5 passes would've been had from start to finish.

Congrats on the 11.93 Martin, I'm slowly working my way down there. If you go mid 11's at LS1 Nats then I'm out of the ball park again :)

I'd love to head over and run at Heathcote, Keir vs. Theo would be worth the trip alone, but it's just not practical for me atm :D

Henry mentioned Keir has a few 2nd hand sets of 275/40/17 NT555R's up for sale. I wouldn't mind snapping a set up for the right price! Maybe a 1.8-1.9 would see me into the 11's? If Ben did it then I don't see why I can't. Practice makes perfect.

Yeah Chops, Wayne got me lined-up in the water and then had me stay on it a LOT longer than I would have normally, and it worked :D Pity the Torrie stuffed me 'cause I was on a quick one :(

Yep Matty still on the same tyres I've been using all along! It was in my usual 100% street trim. Full interior, full exhaust and a completely chockers tank of juice.

I used to be a 14sec driver in a 12sec car, now I'm 12sec driver in an 11sec car :D

I had a run vs. a 32 GT-R - he ran 12.1 @ 122+ vs. my 12.6 @ 119+ and had 97mph at 660' vs. my 92mph. He had a clean pass once of the line, so it shows I've got more top end to come. I just need a clean 5k launch. The 32 had just the drivers seat left in the interior and a side pipe exhaust.

Thanks Erica :)

It probably would've been a bloody good and very close match-up btw you and that 32 GT-R Martin. He mentioned his quickest to date was 11.6 @ 125mph. He had a best of 11.8 on Saturday night.

I wonder how much extra grunt and ET/TS improvements I'd see from removing my exhaust and interior trim? Naaa stuff it... then it wouldn't be a "full trim street car".

I was all lined up side by side ready to give Keir a whooping, and the bugger cut the first amber, red lighted, and sucked me into the same. You really have to watch him being the car in the other lane. The acceleration from around 400ft is incredible. I checked his timecard afterwards, 1/2 track mph 122, mine 92. 30mph....GULP.

Holy shit, 30mph! That's a massive difference over a very short length of track.

92mph at 660' hey? My best is 92mph at 1/2 track. What rwkw and terminals are you getting in the Tonner?

Ive got around 295 - 300rwkw depending on the conditions. Have run 115.9 mph, but also have 1650kg + me to push. The biggest problem is the aerodynamic wind brake that the Tonner applies. It cuts the air like a poorly designed brick. Wipes maybe 3 - 4mph off it at that speed.

Yeah, its been the development bed for GenX2. The kit gave it - at this stage - 10mph and 0.8 seconds improvement over the baseline. Not bad for the money. Like I said though we will go faster, maybe around 11.6 ish. Then the GenX2 comes off, the stocker engine out, and the 427 cuber goes in!

If I was looking to upgrade my LS1 powered Holden I'd be very hard pressed to go past the GenX2 kit. It seems like a very well priced package!

427, very nice. Will that see forced induction too?

True.. Can't beat a big cranky V8.

Only thing that puts me off it these days (while i'm at uni) is the damn fuel consumption.

Hence why I sold my VS V8 that I spent shiet loads on modifying. 5ltr isn't a good option to modify. Once you slap a cam in them they tend to be rather gutless below 3500rpm. Powerband is rather narrow etc. It always felt like it needed a gear inbetween the gears I was in to pull out of a corner hard.

And Matt, GenX2 is ADR approved....

I want to make around 700hp (about 440rwkw or so) without forced induction using the LeMans developed Corvette C5R endurance racing components. Nothing like having a big cranky lump of alloy under the bonnet

Now THAT I can't wait to see!

Dont confuse old school V8 tuning with the latest generation stuff. Its a big mistake. Well setup a C5R should be producing around 500Nm, at 2200rpm, on its way to 900Nm by 4500rpm. It should only need two gears.... but a six speed Holinger would be better :D

    • 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.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
