That's what you get when you're run by a drunk el presidente!

But more importantly, where are the photos and video!

:werd:

Whats it matter, perhaps a few errrors were made, completely understandable, i think everyone that was there knows who was doing the business, and those that were trying to emulate their favourite sprintcar driver:)

It was so crazy, thanks to all SAU comittees and Rexie's officials for spending time and put together a rock n' roll event.

I don't care if i come last or not but if anyone has footage of my car on their cam and don't mind make me a copy would be greatly appriciate, i'll pay or swap blanks ...ect

Love watching Mr Brisby rippin' it.

...and those that were trying to emulate their favourite sprintcar driver:)
oh so that's what you were doin
Dave and Marky: Speed and accuracy are for showoffs like Snowy :)

Your 'form over function' approach was certainly enjoyable to watch - and the super taxi was GREAT FUN to throw around!  

Thanks again Dave, and thanks to ah... your tyre supplier! :)

Yes the top players were great to see, but the day was made so much more enjoyable by the likes of you guys - and of course Pete's KnightRider reverse-turns - hamming it up and having fun. That's what it's all about :(

LOL! Well your comedic talent wasn't upto scratch so I figured maybe your driving might be a little better! Plus I just wanted an excuse to get back out on the skidpan ;)

Tyre supplier? I'm not quite sure what you are talking about :innocent:

Perhaps i should have read the Supp Regs a little closer...i thought there was a prize for "Car most likely to blow up" , i would have been in there with a chance along with Shiv, the wonderful sound of ignition cuts at +8,000rpm:)

muhaha yeh i'd have to agree - try closer to 9000rpm!

I'm happy that the car showed that its been modded sensibly and because of that can take a thrashing - still i'll take it easy on RWD mode on the skid pan next time :(

Interloper - thanks mate. I had a good time just having a chat with ya waiting for the next round of the 'khana.

Funky - yeh u're right dude, the semi comp rubber didn't help (that and the fact its the first time i've ever really driven it hard since i've only had it about 4months since it landed)

The people doing the timing were being "un-helpfull" as far as putting times down next to the right numbers (taking into account some numbers were missing due to withdrawals)

for which events???? (hopefully none of those i was timing!!!!) lol

Very pretty sunrise - Xtrail temp said it was 0 outside.

Lining up to watch the Bayside experts show us how its done.

This helps you get a true apreciation for just how big the skidpan is.

The day is finished... time to prepare for the REAL fun.

James: Do we have any beer?

Jarrod: Do WE have any beer!?!

Homer: Do I know what retorical means?

Everyone look at the taxi driver...

Waitress: Who's Al?

James & Snowy: He's the guy in the hat!

Hilarity ensues

Big hats. Big glasses.

The staff moved breakable things away from this man.

Usual stuff - plates, glasses... the cash register...

Teh Xtrail can NEVAR loose!

They're not dents... more like aerodynamic modifications

For some - it most certainly was.

At this stage of the game, Blaise was thinking having Troy between his legs was the worst thing that could happen. Little did he know a shopping trolley lurked just around the corner...

Underage Country Girls: Come to our party!

James: No. Your house is ugly. It looks like a castle... but stupid

James: Why am I wearing a towel?

Best. Store. Name. Ever.

And that's it :)

Look to Joel for real event photos - I was too busy loving my megaphone.

It's just like me talking, only louder!

    • 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.
