Don't Take Your Mum's New Camry To The Track.


Recommended Posts

hmm so his mistake was that he downshifted at high speeds around a bend?? Or the fact he went to fast into the corner? hmm ..

it's a combination, he got to the corner too fast and was then lifted off the throttle mid corner to down shift which generated a fair whack of lift off oversteer, he tries to correct a little but at that point seems to be hard on the brakes which in the massive slide he is now in means he has no traction to alter the cars angle and bascially just slides into the pond. :P

lol handbrake is gold, i just realised that if this vid matches that outside shot (it must!) then this qualifies for WELCOME TO LAST YEAR

Yeah it's defintely an old video :P

99% of SAUers would do exactly the same thing, or worse, as they have 100 more hp at their disposal and probably less talent. :)

Bit rich to sit back and bash the guy with your keyboards.

After he lost it he did the right thing...on the brakes!

I reckon good on him for having a go and not just modding his car with bullshit bling and acting like you are the long lost love child of fitty cent and paul walker...

who care its a gold video

wish i had one of when i nailled the wall at the track

all that money wasted and nothing to show for it

just ask duncan he has it on video

if i did i would have a small tv dedicated to playing it over and over again!!!!!!!!!!!

haha ill see if I can dig up the video...got in my hdd somewhere...

its a guy named russell going around wakefield in his red wrx..and some hillarious commentary to boot...

I'm holding out to see it!

Impressive.

I would have thought a badly-done downshift would have compression locked the front, causing that to wash out instead.

But at the same time unbalancing the car mid corner, big no no... heal and toe!!! :P

Here's the thread - unfortunately it doesn't look like the vid is still up  :(

What about the brakes Russ?

Starts around post #34.

Did anyone save a copy?

yeah I saved a copy......but I dont know how to upload videos on to this forum.... :(

    • 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.
