Hey

I was listening to radio a couple of minutes ago and they had a commercial about Autobarn in ringwood. It said they are having some competitions on the most riced out cars and then the largest cruise. They named it the autobarn drag day?

Anyone have any information about this?

I dropped by to see the autobarn competition. It was pretty bad. They had a tent where two cars parked under, an excel and a lancer with evo bodykit, then they tried to get the loudest dB reading. It sounded like the cars were about to fall apart. The excel was trying to blow his speakers to get a trophy, he only reached 150db. Not many skylines there. Only saw one white s2 skyline with a For Sale sticker on the back window. The rest of the people had VL commodores with shiny stickers.

Did anyone else go?

autobahn will be having another one of those 2 day discount 30% off everything... very soon. My little cousin the studd "enimen - look a like" is in the ad which is supposed to resemble some new Enimen D12 Clip... so maybe hold off on the motul oils till then and stock up.

Wondering in which autobarn will this sale be going on at??

my friend and i were bored tonight. so we decided to just drop by to have a look at some of the cars at the cruise tonight. we got to autobarn ringwood, and there was 1 marked cop car, and 3 unmarked cop cars which had stopped a few vehicles. and a couple cars had their bonnets open for inspection....

and i agree that mccr events/cruises are a little out-of-control. but they do sometimes bring out some sweet rides too

yeah well i actually went along last night, for half of it, don't normally go on Mccr cruises, thou was quite a few skylines there, one or 2 34's, bunch or 33's and a few other 32's. Nicest one i saw was probally a mint Blue GTR 32, went pretty quick too.

but yeah as u mentioned inark, there was quite a few idiots there ripping skids everywhere they could. they are the ones that ruin it for everyone when the cops come putting yellow stickers on everyones cars.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • 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.
