Yes I am Amir, did the first one last week which was nice n wet ;) A mate of mine with a skyline is also doing the whole series as well. They're really good fun & I've got plenty to work on after the first one...

Put a light bar on your car is the easiest thing .... its light and easily put on and removed

first time out take it easy... lots to things to hit and there for funu not sheep stations

brake early, make the corner, good turn in and accelerate out straight and you'll have an awesome time

Yeah man... they are pretty light. We just made an ally braket to run across in between the headlights in the gap between the bonnet and front bar. We run thermo fans on that car and just unhooked one fan for those nights and put it to the lightbar n just turn it on via missile switch

Did you end up entering the round 2 event this coming Thursday Amir? Come along for a look to see if you like it. There should be at least four 32GTR's at this one looking at the entry list I was sent yesterday.

Yes a light bar is a good idea as it is very dark in places. I'll have mine fitted up for Thursday so will be interesting to see how effective it is. I got a 500mm long one that should do the job ;)

Come say hi if you make it down.

Hey Wes. I haven't entered and I dont think I will be able to do this one, although I really want to. I went up to barbagallo yesterday for the full day No Limits event. Was heaps of fun. If I sort a light bar in a day or two and still have time to enter then I might. How big is the list so far?

Hi Amir, I fitted mine yesterday for tonights event. Auto Bahn have light bars for sale at the moment. Come for a look tonight if your free & I'll show you what we did to fit mine. This shit forum set-up won't allow me to post a pic of it up.

Went well mate, all my times were coming down each run. It's definitely an event where you need to do it a handful of times before you can say your confident with everything as its very dark in some places!

I ended up in 18 outright which I was happy with. Plenty of room for improvement :yes:

    • 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.
