:rofl: This is great. I am not sure of the fully story, but apparently some young guy was being followed by an undercover TMU car, driving like a knob, and then apparently mounted the curb, hit another car and did a bit of a launch into the dealership.

Can somebody provide a full link to the news story?

He is 23 and was doing 160 kph and lost it when someone pulled out infront of him. I think he will be (effecively) working for an insurance company for a long while to come to pay off the damage costs.

spot the holden driver in this thread :P
LOL, if you think HSV's are slow, you should wake up.

Typical comment from a skyline driver i guess.

Think skylines are the fasteset thing around

LOL......the truth hurts doesn't it?

lol,

Nah i just think you are ignorant and have no idea if you think a HSV is that slow compared to a gtst with a fully sick pod filter sucking hot air. (Almost all i see)

:P

Firstly am I ignorant, or are you afraid of the truth? :P

Let's talk top of the range. HSV is Holden's top of the range vehicle. GTR is Nissan's top of the range vehicle. Stock on Stock any GTR will beat any HSV. That's a fact.

....oh yeah and most GTST's with a frontmount intercooler running a bit of extra boost will put most HSV's away....hardly anyone these days with a turbo skyline fits it with JUST a pod.

Apparently he's going to be screwed, and rightly so, the police took him away within 15 minutes.

He was swerving erratically through traffic before that happened.

The HSVs have got the LS2 don't they? 6.0L V8 297 kw?

Don't they get the LS6 soon? The 7.0l V8? Strange thing about that one is it revs to 7K on the Corvette.

Wow thats some crazy damage! I'm amazed its not all over the media.. i guess it doesnt make for an interesting story when theres any kind of locally delivered car involved.

Could the bickering between holden and nissan owners please cease. We all know that the GTR is superior to any HSV, just drop it.

Ali: You sure your a GTR owner, if it is somehow true, could you please sell it and buy a HSV? Thanks.

Someone mentioned he was test driving the car. Assuming it is correct, what are your responsibilities when taking one for a spin?

i.e. Are you fully liable for any damage you may inflict? Is the dealer who handed you the keys have any responsibility?

Surely demonstartion vehicles must have to have some sort of cover?

    • 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.
    • 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.
