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.

    • 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.
