How many of these car's actually drive to the track under there own steam and not on a trailer + how many of them change there tires once they get to the track.... a true street car should be able to rock up to the track, do a few passes, then drive home simple as that.

That Yellow Corolla used to when it was running 8s, not sure now that it has the wheelie bars. Also his 7.97 was run on 275 Dot aprroved tyres.

Event points.

h) 400 metre sprint Each crew will score points towards their nominated forum based on their fastest lap for the event to the following scale

1.25. Fastest outright-40 points

1.26. Fastest 4WD 20 points

1.27. Fastest- RWD 20 points

1.28. Fastest- FWD 20 points

I was trying to point out what can happen if dot approved tyres and rego are the only rules, anyways mite have to make a weekend of it and drive down. Are all event going to be open to

spectators Ash? get my go SAU banners and Pom poms.lol

Thanks Brad

It's an ARC round Brad = 100% spectator driven.

In fact the more ticket that sell under the "SAU" banner, more points we receive.

More details to come on that in a few weeks, so hold off for now. But it will be an awesome event. I've been in contact with some rather special cars :thumbsup:

Again - On DOT Approved Radials.

Both those cars are tubbed on slicks :rolleyes:

Mark Hayes' Torana is a baby hydraulic cammed 496ci that'd be lucky to run a 10. Scott Hoffman's OKE020 is registered and runs 7's on radials but isn't together. BU5TER is a roller with no engine (when it comes back the new owner is looking for 7's, no rego and on big f**king slicks). Surely something running low-10's/high-9's from SAU would shit this in?!

We are hoping to run a mid to high 9sec pass on the 19inch Advan AD08's on our next outing, will not be putting17inch M/T's tyres on until we have can absolutely cannot get any more improvement on the Advans at this point in time the car is still under testing and is getting faster and faster with every run. Can't wait to head back out to the track and crack a 9sec pass.

  • 3 weeks later...

Well the entry list is now upto 4 cars for the 400m dash

AND...

NO MORE STREET REGO

I've dropped a PM to superjet, however he has not been online in over a month. If someone knows him personally and could give him quick call and point him in his PM box direction it would be great!

As the rules have changed, anyone with some non-rego'd cars around??? I reckon there would be a few interested people now especially given we need a team of FOUR!!!

HUGE NEWS!!!

superjet760 looks like making the trip to Melbourne, to fly the SAU flag in the 400m

8.9 sec pass on DOT radials - Perhaps even faster.

Will have 100% confirmation in approx 2 weeks, and pending no more setup issues (or unfortunate failures) - this is a GO!

This is some excellent awesome news. Still need 2 more cars at this stage.

Spread the word - Team SAU is taking brilliant shape already.

  • 2 months later...

im not caged or teched but im happy to go out on radials with my gtr... still a stock 5 spd at the moment but the T400 shouldnt be too far away... (been saying this since may but apparently everything is ready to go)

mine makes around 1050 at the wheels at the moment but if i race it ill prob throw another 5 pounds in it.

if not, im ready to hire out WSID for a private day and do some testing if anyone is keen shoot me a message.

I heard this made 1300hp with the auto :worship:

  • 3 months later...

1300hp at the wheels. Should run 7.4 .. We make 1200 hp all 4 wheels to run 7.6 at 180 plus mph .

We ran 8.69 on my drag radials .. Liberty trans .. 9.0 with ppg .. Auto is similar to a clutch less box .. Very easy to drive prob nos of the trans brake also ..

If we continued on the drag radials a 7.9 sec pass would be possible but grip level would be questionable !!!!

    • 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.
