Why couldn't they have just moved from the VL to the XR6 turbo and be happy with them.

venetians and remove front shafts. then 2 speed powerglide.

Because you are not Lebanese?

Oh I went there.

Ha ha ha. You guys.

Funny

On this topic, just a question, aren't the guys in Queensland still the record holders for the fastest GTR with 4wd, a 26, and H pattern? 7s from memory.

Don't get me wrong I love an angry Rb big cams, laggy single and a H pattern box doing 9's.

This smoothed engine bays and auto conversions not so much.

Me too. Just have no love for the 2wd auto conversion. Just get a normal skyline or falcommodore if you want to do that. Edited by XGTRX

The auto conversions are still 4WD, each to their own, I don't mind dragging to see what improvement the latest mods have made and for some shits and giggles but track is life

Come on Piggy get this thing finished already, there are tracks that need tearing up

Saw this run 10s today, vnice 34!

Time for an update.

due to time constraints and the ever looming beer bottle, the car got taken to Grim Performance at Hornsby to get the exhaust done amongst a whole heap of other stuff.

- Exhaust completed.

- Individual EGT on manifold.

- Post turbine EGT

- Exhaust gas pressure sensor

- Pressure and temp pre and post compressor.

- Rear subframe has been out. All bushes have been replaced including diff bushes.

- Nismo GT Pro diff has been turned down to soft. Cranky unit!

- New steering race has gone in. Car slipped off a jack and busted a nob off. 

To be done.

- Install and plumb fuel system with -10 Teflon braid lines.

- ECU change. Blackbox is gone, Emtron KV8 going in.

- Airbox.

- Strain gauge for sequential.

- Install V cam.

- Tune.

Ive had the Step 2 264 at 8.7 mm cam (WTF am I gonna do with a fairy penguin 8.7mm of lift) reground to something that's a bit more aggressive. Not sure of the exact grind yet but I will know soon enough. Something around 265-270 with 10.2-10.4 mm of lift.

Gate merge. This photo looks funny. The merge looks very sharp but it isn't really. Must be the lighting.

Reason for this? 

Will it chirp second?

I said jokingly "is there anything else you'd like to measure."

that was the answer. It's all got to do with measuring what the turbo is doing.

Getting the notification that this thread had new posts feels like a fun and rare experience now, funny as I've probably been following it for YEARS and Piggaz was a nameless face that I'd never seen in Ozziland.  Now it's a car and a person I know and there is more appreciation for the epic research, thought, development, alcohol consumed, hangovers, work, BBQs and alcohol consumed involved in getting it to this stage that it's particularly exciting seeing it get to this stage.  Very excited to see it getting near being ready to run again!

PS.  You shouldn't ask questions you may regret if they're answered :P

    • 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.
