At the time I didn't have a logger plugged into the GT4 at all. I could put the C125 into that again...I think I remember where the CAN taps would need to go...but access to the alignment rack was kind of a one-off.

I will say though that the ratio in the GT4 from measurements I took was pretty much linear across the range -- more so than the GT3 and that as you can see from the numbers varied a lot less than 30%.

Where did the 12.7 data point come from?? If we have access to manufacturer/OEM schedule data for the rack then I'd ignore the measurements altogether...

I meant the ratio you measured on your GT4 is 30% off from the published 16.5. it's closer to 25%, it was rough math. My point was you probably didn't introduce 30% error into your measurements. And if you did, it's unlikely you introduced it all on the same side.

I remembered wrong, it was 12.37, not 12.7 see below.

Well, you're right, I hope I wasn't _that_ far off the mark. Perhaps the car has to be in motion for the variability to kick in?? I can feel it coming on, I'm going to have to put the C125 in the car and do the same thing as I did with the GT3 only using the PCM angle output and see what that gives me...if 16.5 is right then I guess that's the next thing to be suspicious of for error source??

Wonder what technical sheet that is for the GT4?? I have tried to snag as many docs as I could for that but haven't found any that have those numbers in. I wonder if there's a GT3 equivalent...presume there probably is somewhere. Thanks for the pointer to that thread -- interesting!

No problem. The ratio probably does have some speed dependence on it. It makes sense that they would put a higher ratio at low speeds I guess...?

I will eagerly await your results.

Fair warning: it might take a couple of weeks to get to this as I'm headed to Thunderhill this week and VIR the following week so not much free weekend time to mess with this until we're into September.

It takes however long it will take.

I am! Thanks for the invitation -- count on meeting up if you are around over that WRL weekend...I'd really like that.
