buster,

We all agree that your car only does 11's when you want it to. You decide when you'd like to go quick or if you'd like to putt around.

If you have the power under your foot you can choose to use it or not if you have a large turbo or an equivalent nitrous kit. It doesn't really matter. So in reality your car is only an 11 second car 'some of the time' and not all of the time regardless.

You will find the nitrous equiped car is much the same concept, just a different application.

Once you actually have owned a nitrous equiped car you will understand what I mean. So often is the case that people who don't struggle to grasp just how easy it is to activate and how long a tank actually does last driving around.

I think if you are in for circuit stuff then you won't get the same enjoyment out of a nitrous kit as a nice big turbo setup. But it still doesn't mean you can't have both. And when it comes to the straight line nitrous is alot cheaper and perhaps even a tad more fun.

buster,

didn't have a chance to do any timing device stuff. Was a week off going to the motorplex with the better part of 150hp shot when the roo's made the change of plan (no nitrous involved there).

The old bus had the go to do a high 12 without gas. It ran a 13.3 with a major tuning issue without gas and a 2.3 60ft (thanks to uneven inflation on the rear tyres) so I was guessing a mid to low 12 would be very easy. Pushing the envelope a little probably 11's but, that would have made it more of an iceskating run. I think I had an offer of some 540's for the day too so had it all come off maybe a low 11? You never know. The batton is passed to adrian now so I reckon he can get pretty close to a 10 with the same hit I used, well I hope he does anyway.

True rev though I thought using nitrous was illegal to use on the street and would become very very expensive if you tried to use it all the time, my 11 sec car is an 11 sec car when ever and where ever I want it to be

Yes I do agree it is at the strip or track but just having the power at the strip or track may not suit every one, like myself who enjoys the power all the time

Once you actually have owned a nitrous equiped car you will understand what I mean. So often is the case that people who don't struggle to grasp just how easy it is to activate and how long a tank actually does last driving around.

Once you've actually owned a GTST that runs 11's at 128mph without gas you might understand where i'm coming from as theres nothing like knowing you've got the power when ever and where ever you may need it

Buster,

Doing anything like an 11 second pass on the street is illegal too. I'm sure you aren't saying that you drive around the suburbs with full throttle every second of the way with a 2wd, you don't have a GTR so even if you wanted too it wouldn't happen. If you are responsible I guess the 11 second pass is only legal on the strip (or maybe darwin :P ).

I understand where you are coming from I've been there with other cars. And I'm probably going there again with the gtr.

As for knowing you've got the power " when ever or where ever you need it " , adrian will tell you (as I'm sure other people who have owned nitrous equiped cars would) this is his understanding about his car too. If thats your bottom line there isn't a fig of difference, appart from an occasional tank refill.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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.
