Out of curiosity I googled "stock times at Wakefield" and saw this:

-Porsche 911 GT2 (997) 1:05.05

-Lamborghini LP640 1:06.70

-Porsche 911 GT3 (997) 1:07.40

-Porsche Carrera S 1:08.50

-Mercedes CLK63 Black 1:08.60

-Mitsubishi EVO IX 1:09.39

-Audi TTS 1:09.40

-Mitsubishi EVO X 1:09.50

-BMW 135i Coupe 1:09.90

-FPV F6 08' 1:09.90

-FPV F6 (auto) 1:10.10

-Subaru WRX STi (My05) 1:10.10

-Nissan 350Z Track 1:10.30

-Lotus Exige 1:10.66

-Mazda FD3S 1:11.50

-Ford XR6 Turbo UTE 1:11.70

-Mazda RX8 1:11.80

-Nissan S15 ADM 1:12.50

-Mazda 3 MPS 1:13.00

-Honda DC2R 1:13.00

-Honda DC5R 1:13.00

-Peugeot 207 GTi 1:13.50

-Renault Clio 197 1:13.70

-Mitsubishi Ralliart Colt 1:14.00

-Alfa Romeo 147 GTA 1:15.00

-VW Golf R32 1:15.00

-Ford Fiesta XR4 1:15.40

-Peugeot GTi6 1:16.00

-Mazda 3 Sedan 1:20.90

Some of those seem pretty underrated/responsive to mods as well.

I don't know of anyone going from a souped up GTR to a Stock 350Z anytime soon. Put a pro driver in your R33 GTR and see what they do relative to us mere mortals :P

I do personally rate the Evo X though. I have driven one and a friend has one. 220kw at the wheels and some Ohlins + AD08R's and you're like, well, what else do you really need?

Drove the car. Makes my 33 feel as old as it is.

I think you've just been stuck in skyline-mode with rose coloured glasses.

personally i dont find skylines are that special either. Evo's are fairly special (in a not-cool way) but plenty more interesting things to drive around.

Drive one for a bit, but keep in mind everyone on SAU sells their Evo eventually when they realise it isnt very exciting unless driven like a maniac (and then what car isnt exciting when driven to the limit?)

I always justify how much I spend on the pulsar by thinking "at least its not a GTR" because seriously everything I do is like half the cost of GTR equivalent.

Maybe that is the case and my eyes are now opened.

Or maybe my eyes have been opened to see what happens when you hit the track multiple times only to be competed against a near stock Evo.

Or to be schooled on a skid pan. These are the things to consider in my case.

And the missus likes it. But she likes the fatty too. Says she will need some time adjusting.

135i?

They can be flash tuned to some silly number too. Plus, you get all the other niceties of a BMW.

Still RWD, Still Manual, if that's your thing.

Obviously an AWD turbo is easier to just add power and have that added power translate to forward momentum :P

There's a trick to tuning EVOs you either progressively build boost after peak torque, or purely run very low timing at peak torque.

You can happily make 350awkW on an EVO and not throw rods if you know what you're doing.. also by progressively building boost after peak torque or simply running less timing at peak torque and as you get to peak torque you'll end up with a flatter torque curve.

Is that to me or zebra?

Just stated a fact that's all, no dick waving here, just a shame some people perceive a post that way because they have a dick up their arse, and yes evos are great cars but u can't push them like you can push an rb in stock form.

By the way zebra never seen an rb blow up by turning the wipers on, dickwad.

    • 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.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
