is there an online place where i can check out prices of things like harnesses (no not ur ones denham i want ones that will actually protect me lol), bonnet pins and helmets etc

tried revolution but i couldnt find the prices... i wanna get some bonnet pins... some harnesses and stuff before i get on the track.

LOL, my harness work fine, i might use one at sandown to prove it. Will Scrutiny check for any labels on the harnesses?

I didn't think fuel itself will add any more power,  rather with better fuel you can run more advanced timing, compression etc. without encountering detonation.

Its the raising of the detonation threshold, which allows more aggressive timing / boost etc that will give the extra hp.

ie: If your car is tuned to run on pulp and you add a tankful of av or any other fancy brew you will not see an increase in power without altering your tune.

A car like Denham's has Enough Power™ so in a case like his the hotter fuel simply offers better protection to detonation, old fuel, weird load conditions, boost spikes, heat, blah, blah...

If you tune the engine to make the most of the better fuel then you are back to square one as far as "headroom" goes. If you are chasing more power then it is all good though.

sorry i put my life in the hands of FIA approved not YCP (Yum Cha Performance™ )

:D

Ni - sounds stupid but I was told on Sunday by Ron that Autobarn currently have some FIA Approved - dated until 2009 - 3" - 4 point Harness for sale for $399 that looked really good. Can't tell you much else about them however.

:)

LOL... hell i plan on driving around without my seatbelt or harnesses done up.

If i crash i dont want to walk away, actually it woudlnt be a bad way to go. Just remember to try and salvage my semi slicks as someone else might be able to use then in an afternoon session :cheers:

If you lunatics start running $4-8/L fuel then the days will soon get mighty expensive. I one tried VP racing fuel (110 for 20L), made no performance difference without the retune.

It did run cooler and idle way smoother, but stuff all performance difference...but hey knock yoursleves out, actually you will knock the birds out of the trees as you all drive by :)

Fancy fuel or not BRI-58Y is still gonna blow the door off all of you. (I think Nige has put some C4 in the boot :Bang:

Roy - you an add:

benjamin74 and Emre (the 2530 R33 GTR twins) to the list. Its going to be one hell of a skylines presence! lol  

Maybe we can hold ou own track days!

Kool thats 11:) If we can get another 4 or 5 cars then this will truly be a trackday of extraordinary magnitude! :D

New SAU - NSW Policy to be applied for all SAU- Vic events, cheaters with 4wd are not allowed to run cheater tyres, unfair traction advantage :flamed:

oooooooooo i was wrong i do get paid bfore then!

hmmmmmmmmm i'll download the form... if i cant get there in the ceffy and we still have the soarer i'll use that :D

Don't panic about the noise - they take the tests from 50m away. Trust me - have you ever heard a full blown 69 Mustang with a 7L Donk go past at full revs? Makes an import sound damn quiet. And there are 2 that race on these days noproblems.

Basically if you have an exhaust you will be right. You won't get done for noise.

    • 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.
