Pictures From Super Gt


Recommended Posts

Thanks, glad you like the shots. The grid shot with the race queens is one of my favorites. Funny thing is I had an old Japanese guy pulling me back from my rucksack while taking that picture. I hate covering such events as much as I love them as you always have some jobs-worth know it all giving you sh1t because you are in the wrong place at the wrong time according to the "rules". Thats probably the thing that really bugs me the most about this line of work, being treated like a clueless child by worthless people that have as much authority and status as extras on film sets! Anyway rant over! Looking forward to shooting at Fuji next w-e.

haha, the shot is still excellent. I remember plenty of pushing and shoving at tokyo autosalon on press day... though it was even worse on the other days.

I just saw your article on the Saurus 32 GTR. Wow. it was probably my favourite car at this years TAS. looked so tough. and a great, different colour choice. I love how everything on it looks so neat and simple. nothing is over done. awesome car.

u mean Fuji san? ill be there this weekend with a bunch of gaijin climbing at 10pm saturday night to catch the sun rise sunday morning ;)

awesome shots mate. I'll be going to the next round at fujispeedway, if your not spending all day snapping away then wanna hook up? and if your busy afterwards I know a wicked touge right next to the speedway were we can have some fun. i drive an evo and would LOVE a ride in a 34.

You see many foregin drivers in the teams.

Are they just to bring in the crowds?

Any up and coming japanese star drivers?

it's the other way around i've been told. they bring in overseas drivers to win racers, but the Japanese drivers inspire the fans. :) (not knocking their skill either though)

    • 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.
