jnr32r, that last one where i didnt wheelspin at all was my fastest 60ft time, with the 205 tyres i was using it meant i would either have loads of spin or bog down a little in order to hold traction, like adrian says its all about the tyres for that first 60ft, if i get some decednt drag radials i should be able to improve the time dramatically.

what 60ft times were you getting with the falken and the nittos adrian?

Adrian... sadly im working in Melb at the moment, when i get my car back ill give Calder a go, will see how the D01Js at 18psi hook up.... all this talk about drag racing has me curious as to what my car will do, though the times im more concerned about at Eastern Creek is a 1:46 :cheers:

Adrian nothing is confirmed about what discount and the night was really meant to be kept quietish as it isn't something being offered to everyone, its why its only posted in the NSW MEMBERS section and the amount of people is limited unless the spot your offering is your own? so please shut up

Dude, that's why I said what the RECOMMENDED RETAIL PRICE IS - i.e. I didn't say how much they would cost and only rpeated what BF said at Drag Combat.

Seems like a great incentive for people to join the club and have access to the members section if you ask me ;)

And no, I will never shut up. You know better than that.

Thats a pretty decent ET.

 

If you want decent grip and cheap get your self a set of 225 16" Simex's.

They have a soft sidewall. Nice burnout and they get very sticky.

 

Hows your diff? its not openwheeling even slightly? Its worth around $350 to get them shimmed up nice and tight from a diff specialist.

Just exploring a couple options to help improve your 60ft. :cheers:

 

I forget what your mods are?

Hey

Just curious what open wheeling is and what gets done when u shimm the diff???

Thanks

open wheeling is when your diff acts like a std diff and one wheel can openly wheelspin as aposed to an LSD (limited slip diff) which only lets one wheels spin a little before the other wheel kicks in also...

Anyway yesterday i was having a bit of a play on the old pacific hwy and managed to feel my diff open wheel a few times, its a bit spasmodic really, doesnt always happen...

but like yogi asked, im also interested to know exactly what they do to your diff when they "shim" it etc...

    • 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.
