only gtr I’ve seen was a 34 that was completely stripped on the back of a tow truck, I think it was being restored 

Man I miss my old MK III Supra :(

Such a cool car, nothing overly standout, just... That mid to late 80s era!

Is that the same one as everyone else owned?

Nah, I had my one before Zeb bought that one that got passed around.

 

And I skipped the 7M jokes. I had the pleb spec 1G-GTE, with an Auto... :(

it was still hilarious though, such a slow thing, but would rip one hell of an epic skid on the brake when it finally stalled up onto boost... Standard turbos, but holding the brake and throttle, had to wait about 10 seconds for it to build up boost and be able to start to break traction... Ha ha ha

I hated my VA1 STI after I realised I would need to build the engine to get any real power for a 1550kg car safety

Pulse Racing did the usual mods to it, intercooler, CAI, injectors, turbo back exhaust and a fuel pump, that gave around 215kwatw, pulse said the turbo was then pretty tapped out, and if I wanted more power it would need a bigger turbo, and a built closed deck engine

The open decked, weak rodded EJ25 is junk in my opinion and should never have been used

In the end I just hated looking at it, it started to look like a Kia sedan to my jaded eyes

It was fun blasting it around on some dirt roads when I was working in Amberley though, but not to inspiring on the road

My 86, after I put a turbo on it to get around 215kwatw, was a much better car to blast around the streets in.....until I backed it into a guard rail after hitting some diesel that was on the road at a roundabout that is

I'm still jaded about killing the 86, I still have epic sads about that, and as they only released 60 of them, it makes the sads epic

But giving the Bogan Cruise Ship a hit now and then does make me forget about the 86, until my daughter reminds me by sending photos of the 2017 Limited edition ones she sees that is, there is one that lives in Goulburn, every time see see it she sends her poor old dad a photo, I really should spend her inheritance on holidays, expensive sports cars and other random stuff.......that will teach her :4_joy:

How did you get the RFP1’s to clear the brembos, my son just bought a set for his BRZ and they don’t clear the brembos

I just got the right offset I think

17 x 8 +45

That car had the ej207 engine in it and was a lot of fun, high reving smooth power delivery. 
 

the ej257 is known to be weaker but I have seen plenty making 285kw at the wheels on e85 with unopened engines. Everything I’ve heard is the semi closed (257) engine is good for 300kw before needing to close the deck, with pistons and rods always being recommended

17 x 8 +45 with 235/45 17

No rubbing anywhere, filled the guards great with a little 20mm drop on some MCA coils

And look at the red VX SS Commodore in the pic, fate?????

I just wanted to share this effort from Goulburn Mulwaree council

Full marks for resealing the road. Not so much for attention to detail.

I assume no one was looking at the precedences in the construction Gantt chart

I wonder who was doing the project management?

I wonder who was signing off on it?

At least there will be somewhere for a pot hole to start after they move the pole and do the "typical" patch job on the asphalt 

Local council ethos: If a jobs worth doing, it's worth doing half arsed.

I cringe everytime our local council fixes a pot hole or resurfaces a road, you just know it will be worse than what it was within a few months

    • 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.
