Like I said above, the 6768 had no problems making power, we did not push it ... barely touching 18psi for the 500 awkw. Making the power down low is where we need it then winding up the boost to make the top end is the plan !!

500 awkw is enough to play with (to start with)... I've done about 8 laps in the car so far... 5 at Phillip Is with no power steering and maybe 3 around SMP North Circuit with the Holinger with oil pressure warning alerts, which ended up being a case of trimming down the alert threshold at low rpms.

Should be fun once its sorted!! Still got to get used to the sequential but no problems slaming through the gears with the foot flat to the floor down the striaght !! :)

Ok guys, I need help finding a rear wing... Voltex can't make me one in time, the local APR distributor has not got back to me, He said he was getting a few dual pane Nemo style ones in (designed by the man!!) and I asked that I get my name put on one...

Anyone have any suggestions on where I can get one quickly or know someone that has one lying around ??

It needs to be 1695mm + 200mm long (including end plates) !!

Or lightning composites are in aus http://www.lightningcomposites.com.au/

As are topstage.

Thanks... Freddy seems pretty good. See how I go. I like his front diffuser too.

Need to find someone to make the wing mounts. Thinking of going around the back and under the car ala GT3 style??

New fuel system was fired up today.

New Turbo should be delivered by end of next week.

Will need to wait for Jim (Tunehouse) to get back before it gets tuned. Gives me two weeks to get everything else done.

Still need to choose wing, get it and sort out mounting.

Front bar needs to be remounted and secured better as it broke the side mounting bolts and was dragging on the ground at speed.

Ive been away, back tommorrow... Time to pull the finger out!!

Do you want it in dry carbon or fiberglass John?

I have a custom widebody fenders that will clear 315/xx/18 11-12 inch easily. I have a spare fiberglass front fenders, Topstage has the moulds for both front and rear fenders atm. If you are keen then you should talk to Freddy but I think you are leaving it too late.

The rear will involve cutting your whole fender off and replace it with a dry carbon piece. The front is "almost" bolt on. I made some modification to the firewall for aerodynamic reason and the fender is shaped for it...if you struggle for time and dont have time to modify the firewall, then cut off the inner "flare" of the fender and bolt it straight on to your car..it should still help with the aerodynamic.....that's if you sweet talk Freddy into working 24 hours.

Best bet is to flare the rear and look for another wide front fender. I searched everywhere before and could not find a dry carbon one or even a wet carbon with aerodynamic on it for the r32 gtr...hence I had to design my own. I even bought one from EA and it did not fit. I am happy help you out if you are stuck and let you have my fiberglass one, if you need it, with the right offer..... I really don't know how much it worth...but it costed me a bomb and lots of hours.

Check my build thread if you want some pictures.

Talk to Freddy John. Between Freddy and I, we have most of the R32 GTR body moulds. I don't really know how much to charge you for using the mould...just ask Freddy for a fair price....happy to help another SAU member.

Good luck John and it will be good to catch up on the day.

Thanks for the offer on the front guards just pm me what you want for the fibreglass front guards and send me some current pics of what they currently look like... I will let you know if I am interested.

I was hoping for a bolt up straight fit solution to the front guards and Im anticipating the rear is not going to be that straight forward.

Im not looking for a long term solution as the car will be going on a diet after WTAC and Im going to have a proper look at the aero.

My priority is to get the mechanical, electrical and chassis sorted and get some seat time... Everything has to work and be reliable hence the looks are not so important for my first WTAC...

The FG were prepared and primed for the mould. They have been wrapped straight after moulding and in storage since. I won't have time to take it out just to take pictures but it should look like this

These look awesome! How much wider are they, and are these actual pics of the guards to fit R32 GTR?

Do they have more clearance for extra lowered cars as in John's car now has the option to go lower as the roll centres are raised?

    • 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.
