They do know the main 120L tanks capacity, but they don't know the level in the 10L swirl pot that's inside the tank bladder.

The car should start with 120L and a full swirl pot.

So in theory using 1.2L/km they should be able to go 108km's at race speed which the other 3 nissans did.....

Problem rick would have had was that he had several cars wanting his position so he'd have been using more fuel during the race to maintain position.

Who knows why but the older engines are still running group fired injection and single coil dizzy setups. The nissans and Mercs are fully sequential multi coil arrangements but they can't get onto the consumption of the dinosaur push rod engines, they are just that efficient.

Brad, I was under the impression (from the Motec V8 support personal) that the COTF engines are all sequential and individual coils (powered by the new M1xx series ECU's) The teams had the option of running either group or sequential firing on the old engines (with the M880 ECU), with most using group fire as it left a few outputs available to be used elsewhere on the car, prior to the development of PDM's E8xx and SVIM's.

They are correct.

The COTF engines are run sequentially. The holden version is based on the LSX engine frame from GM performance.

The older aroura engines most of them are using are still being run in the exact same way as they were last year. Grouped with single channel CDI and coil.

I'm not aware of anyone using the V8 supercars supplied and homologated engines that are seq run. Perhaps when other manufactures come that don't produce a V8 we will see those engines being used.

The pace built and V8 supercars owned chassis do have the homologated "off the shelf" engines fitted.

Thought the COTF tanks were 112 litres or similar?

  • 4 weeks later...

Nobody mentioning that Gary Rogers will be running two Volvos next year?

Good to see the series kicking a few goals re manfacturers. Next test will be to get some satellite series going and then have a 4 World Championship rounds. Spa, Bathurst, a US circuit and Silverstone or something

Yeah good on em for taking the punt!

It will upset a lot of people but i like the fact that its not just the old Bogandore and Foulcans!

I don't think it will upset many at all.

There are a LOT of diehard fans... They may not be upset now but when the other makes catch up and start winning races they might ;)

I don't see any of the new manufactures winning races anytime soon. I think the mercs will probably be the first to do it, followed by the volvos and then the Nissans (if they ever actually win, which I doubt with the current driver lineup)

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • 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.
