not sure what you mean Johnny ?

 

Referring to the caliper adapter kits.  Alpha Omega?

Good to see steady progress and sensible upgrades with your car.

Hopefully there's a proper diff centre on the horizon?  1.5 way at the very least, but don't be afraid to go with a 2 way.  Massive improvement when incorporated with a HICAS lock bar.

Oh yes i forgot about that.  Johnny talked me into getting a proper lsd.  I went with a Nismo GT Pro 2-way.  Pricey but very good under load and under brakes

Check your:

Ride height at each corner - uneven heights = uneven corner weights and more likely to lock one side. 

Toe/Camber - Less tyre contact patch = more lock up. 

 

thanks for that, i didn't even think about that.  I think one side of the car is slightly higher with the coilovers

Oooo I see Intima pads :)

How do you find the Type-D?

 

I can't really say as i went from stock brakes with qfm pads to evo's 350mm front and rear with intima d - type track pads. It would the equivalent of dicking Margaret Thatcher to dicking Jennifer Hawkins....

Evo brakes are just soo good i got travel sick with them !!!

Just did a compression test - all cylinders were 150-160 which i am well happy with...

 

reference service. 14mm sump plug.  16mm spark plug. plug 4 is a bit tricky to get to, have to remove a 10mm bolt to get the right angle on it

Looking around for new tyres - Nankang AR-1 looks to be popular.  They only do a 295 or a 265 tyre for the rear.  I pulled the hell out of my rear guard and tried on a 295 with my 10+38.  It just fit inside by about 7-8mm with about 2 degrees of rear camber and i had about 12-15mm on the outside :) I dumped my car, now on big bumps and driveway the inside of the back rim scrapes on the inside.

I was thinking of going a 10.5 wheel.  They make a +35 offset in a 10.5 wheel. It will sit 3mm inside and 9mm outside.  I am not too sure about this. Would need a 5mm spacer and that would take it to 14mm wider to not make it scrape.  Either that or pull the ride height up....hmm. Maybe ill have to play around with the tyre calculator

https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/?wheel1=295-30-18X10ET38&wheel2=295-30-18X10.5ET35&fcl=50mm&wcl=30mm&scl=50mm&sr=0mm

going from 10+38 to a 10.5 +35 with the 295 tyre i tried on, the wheel is 3mm closer and will stick out 9mm further, the tyre. Tyre will stick out 3mm further which would be ok.

To run a 5mm spacer on that 10.5 wheel

https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/?wheel1=295-30-18X10ET38&wheel2=295-30-18X10.5ET30&fcl=50mm&wcl=30mm&scl=50mm&sr=0mm

wheel will sit out 14mm further and tyre would stick out 8mm further...That would be good, the wheel would sit more flush with the guard.

So i might need to look for a lightweight wheel that is 10.5 +30 to +35 offset ? any suggestions ? im looking at the new enkei rs05rr but i would need to run a 5mm spacer with that at a minimum

 

With the fronts they do a 245/40 which is a balloon but they do a 255/35 which sat nice and low profile.  I have a 9.5 +15 with 235 on the front with -3 camber and it does touch the guard but i haven't got stuck into pulling the guard out yet.

I was wondering if i could fit a +22 to +25 wheel with a 255 tyre on the front ? There is about 25mm on the inside but i haven't turned the wheel yet.  Wondering if i could fit a 255 and still be low ?

    • 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.
