hi guys, i've been reading the stagea forums for a while after buying a silver m35 2 months ago, made the decision to buy it as the daily drive ever since i saw Craig's(jetwreck) black fat cow lol.

however, i have a supercharged 350z which (with big thanks) Craig and Alex installed for me, do you guys mind if i take her to the strip to see some numbers? hoping for somewhere in the 13s.

i can also ask to see if anyone from the Z club is interested too and make it a Stag v Z drag day haha. i think it will be a pretty even playing field and the FI nature of the Stags might even give you guys an upperhand in terms of modding for the drags.

black fat cow will be the car to beat i reckon

Nick imo your more than welcome!

We will have to line up the Nismo broad minded person's (350z and M35) and give em a go!.....might have to put the e-manage and injectors back in first! I think you'll be more than surprised....I recon you'll crack a 12 easy!........just watch your mirrors......like my wife says "your a slow starter but fast finisher Craigos!".....pfffft like she would remember!

P.S. Only guy I want to beat is Alex is his poofy Silver poverty pack! :P.....we will see how his car goes after this weekends install....turbo's going on his the glass bottom motor!

P.S.S. >>>>>>>goes out to garage to start the fat cows Jenny Craig weight loss program!ph34r.gif

Hey stop bagging out our VQ35DE...S and T! im sure there's motors with weaker bottom ends... the other guy with the supercharger Z got 13.5 at WSID, so thats what im aiming for i guess, hopefully autos are faster at the drags/minimizes driver errors.

so ur going all out to get into then 12s eh? maybe take out the spare tyre and boot linings etc to shed a few kilos in a week or money back from Jenny :blush: .

so far the nitto invos are great, not losing traction as much as before, and are soooooooo much quieter than the ku36s, I don't feel like im driving a friggin tank the whole time anymore :banana:

AND THE TREADS LOOK WICKED!

Back in ya Box!rolleyes.gif

The way things are going, I'm not going to be going down the track - won't have a tune. But could wreck it for others by covering track with oil and conrods...ph34r.gif

I won't be able to make it for this, but you guys should have fun out there.

Just FYI, SAU-NSW had a private drag day a few months back (September 18th), and we'll be having another one this year on June 2nd.

Because we hire the track exclusively, we get a whole day's worth of runs instead of just a few hours, and later in the day you can literally go out and do as many consecutive runs as you want. Charlie (NXTIME on here) and another guy on a motorbike would not even bother going back to pick up their time-slips - they'd do a run and come straight back out, turn around after going under the tower, and line up again straight away!

I personally did 8 runs over the span of the day (with a best of 13.8) and Charlie and the guy on the bike must have done 20+ runs each...

Here's the wrap-up thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/377530-saunsw-drag-day-wrap-up-thread/

    • 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.
