Carbon Ceramic Brake's applied into Nissan GT-R

MELBOURNE -The brake device named CCX (Carbon Ceramic Xtreme). Iron rotor disc of material with the same size, was developed by Alcon. This auto parts companies offer some measure of brakes that can be pinned on the super car.

Carbon ceramic brake devices Nissan GT-R includes, 400mm ventilated front discs, 385mm rear ventilated discs, calipers front 6-piston monobloc is equipped with Alcon bearing CCX-1. Rear monobloc calipers fitted with 6-piston Alcon bearing CCX-1.

"The brake system on this supercar is the most modern. Made with very high quality, stopping distance, and resistance is significantly better than the brake manufacturer," explained Director of Alcon's sales of Jonathan Edwards.

Nissan claims the GT-R has high acceleration, capable of penetrating acceleration of 0 to 60 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds. While the latest version of the GT-R is able to achieve acceleration of 0-60 miles / hour in 2.7 seconds.

Alcon, the company that supplies components for performance cars such as Audi, Bentley, JLR, Ariel, Noble and other cars, has just launched a carbon-ceramic brake package for the supercar, which is applied to the Nissan GT-R.

Bosch conducts research on Gasoline Engine Technology Without sparking plugs

The researchers hope their prototype machine will be as strong as GM's 3.8-liter V6 engine but with a shrinking target fuel consumption by 30 percent. Unfortunately, this technology still seems too early. The prototype of this new engine will be completed as early as the year 2014 which means it is still long to be produced commercially.

SOME years ago a gasoline engine without spark plugs or homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) is very interesting. A number of major automobile manufacturers including General Motors, Daimler and Volkswagen seriously investigate the benefits.

Bosch conducts research on Gasoline Engine Technology Without sparking plugs

Since then the technology is not widely heard from again after the engine and hybrid electric drive systems powered vehicles increasingly popular. But that does not mean HCCI has been buried.

It seems that HCCI technology still has a bright future. Supplier of automotive components giant Bosch along with several associates plus a grant of U.S. $ 12 million from the departments of energy the United States is working on a project feasibility HCCI commercially.

This technology is reaching the stage just by compressing combustion air and fuel mixture without the need for spark plugs, as occurs in diesel engines. But the designers of gasoline engines face a number of challenges.

The biggest challenge is controlling the HCCI gasoline engine combustion process. If the spark plugs, combustion time can be easily arranged by the PCM (powertrain control module) that can control when the sparks are not possible on HCCI without spark plugs.

Mixture composition and temperature must be changed in complex and timely manner to achieve performance comparable to conventional engines with spark plugs in a very wide range of operational conditions. Challenges include extremes of temperature both hot and cold, thin air content effects on driving conditions at altitudes as in the hills and mountains.

To overcome this problem, the designer can use a machine that uses gasoline but can change the mode between uses spark plugs and diesel-style compression if needed.

If successful, the gasoline engine with HCCI and existing technologies such as turbochargers and stop-start system can improve fuel efficiency by 30 percent compared to a conventional engine with the performance of the first machine berberupa sama.Prototipe GM Ecotec 2.0-liter engine is equipped with a supercharger, turbocharger, direct fuel injection, stop-start systems and variable valve timing.

Audi's car applies adaptive cruise control function

Las Vegas: The German automaker, Audi, said the new system could help drive a car within certain limits. The gadget is also accelerating and braking autonomously. Use of the tool is very easy, and only had to activate the system via the keypad. "The system can be used in lane highway or in urban areas, provided the route is not too complicated," adds Audi.

System, which is based on "adaptive cruise control function," is designed to work at speeds up to 37 mph. Two radar sensors monitor the fan-shaped, each with a 21-degree scanning angle and fields stretching up to 820 feet. A wide-angle video camera monitors the road signs and can detect other vehicles, pedestrians and guard rails. Eight ultrasonic sensors can also monitor the zone directly in front of the car and on the corners.

However, this gadget is not yet certain to be output Audi's newest commercial product. The system is also designed very sophisticated with radar sensors that not only detects vehicles in front, but also in front of him. "This allows the system can calculate the caravan path," explains Audi.

Audi launched a gadget or device of traffic monitoring system, Audi Traffic Jam Assistant at largest electronics exhibition in the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) 2012 in Las Vegas, United States. This gadget will most likely be applied to the flagship Audi A8 cars in the next few years.

"This technology can ease the driver's driving moments at times unpleasant, as in heavy traffic situations," Audi said in a statement quoted by InsideLine.com on Saturday (14 / 1).

British Luxury car's Interior's unveiled

LONDON - As reported by Worldcarfans, on Monday (26/12/2011) interior design in Jaguar JX is designed like a small office equipped with a device in which office accessories, such as a laptop, a connection with the iPad, Bluetooth keyboard, and features a GSM modem that can connect the connection high speed internet.

To complement the facilities available in the cabin of Jaguar JX, Startech equip it with other interior look like leather upholstery with color touch elehan, the dashboard is equipped with a straight line stailless made ​​of steel and brake pedals, and the gas is given a touch of crome.

Meanwhile, the sitting position between the front and rear seats are made wider, so that the passengers who were behind more flexibility when doing office work in the car with a laptop and an internet connection.

In addition to interior design changes, the exterior of the JX also has a touch of modification by Startech, like the front bumper is much wider and shorter, much larger headlights and front grille are wide as if to give the impression of an elegant exterior appearance.

Furthermore, Startech modify this latest generation of Jaguar JX aims to provide convenience for consumers Jaguar memikliki employment rate is high enough.

So with the interior which is equipped with some office supplies, will be able to facilitate consumers in completing office work in the car.

British luxury car manufacturer, Jaguar, has been cooperating with a company of the Group Brabus, the Startech to change the look of the interior on the latest generation Jaguar XJ.

360 sensors're immediately identifying the driver's seat

TOKYO - The latest technology is expected to become one of the tools of effective auto theft deterrent. Although sounds a bit odd at first, this discovery could actually function as a system that works reasonably accurate, and very rare, if there are two people with the same identification.

Currently the inventor of the middle seat technology offers cooperation to several car manufacturers. Hopefully, in two or three years, this technology will be used the automotive industry.

However, there still are a big question, what if one day, the driver experienced a change in weight?

While the engineers to compete in technological advancements such as automobile engines and drive systems, the Institute of Advanced Industrial Technology in Tokyo to develop a new discovery. The scientists managed to make car seats that can prevent the car from theft.

How so? On Jok is that there are 360 sensors scattered and functioning measure pressure, contact area, as well as other factors. So, when occupied, then immediately identified the driver's seat. The information captured sensors are sent to a computer to get the accuracy of a previously recorded data, and system identification in the upholstery can produce accurate data up to 98 percent. According to a report the data obtained Japanese business daily, Nikkei.

Iter Avto's forerunner GPS in the form of roller-moved map

SPAIN, - Iter Avto actually more like a map in the form of a roller which moves with the motion of the car. Map rotates in the middle, like a screen.

Then the principle of rotation similar to the speedometer which moves rely on the wheels. Iter Avto was placed just as people today put a global positioning system (GPS), which is in the middle under the dash.

A roll of paper illustrated the path and name of the dots and then pinned in it. Its use depends on the location that is being addressed. If the user wants to London for example, they must install a roll of special maps of London. If you move, have to change reels.

Brilliant compliment to the idea of ​​Iter Avto as a guide in the car out when it finally turned the car user. The map does not go turn because it can only be used when the car is moving straight.

The existence of any Avto Iter is unclear given the data producer and creator names such as lost time. However, if the talk "who first made", the guide had also made ​​a similar road in England, even 10 years earlier or the range of 1920. The device, called Plus Fours Routefinder is even more simple. Shaped like a wristwatch.

The principle works the same as the Iter Avto, using the roll map. However, the manual movement, namely playing around with your fingers.

it has been already used GPS, it's long before people understand by a guide device in the car sort of global positioning system, a product called by Iter Avto already made ​​in Spain in 1930.

Do not imagine the sophisticated in-car devices that rely on satellites such as made by ​​Alpine (1981) or Etrak (1983), or be asked to designate the road with our voices (the latter is recognized even make trouble). Iter Avto much simpler, just rely on the paper roll as a walking map.

Scania focus on Active Prediction for GPS and Cruise Control

Scania focus on Active Prediction for GPS and Cruise Control

Sodertalje - Scania plans to complete the Predicted Active system next year in truck markets. Added, the system is activated via a button located on the steering wheel and active at speeds above 60 kph.

When the road there is no topography data or GPS signal disappears, the system will return to normal cruise control functions!

Currently, almost all automotive manufacturers in the world trying to make vehicles more efficient and environmentally friendly. Various methods are used, among other things, reduce the capacity of the machine, install the turbo or superchager, recycles braking energy, lose weight and uses an electric motor.

However the how the big trucks to carry loads over long distances much and plus a very diverse field conditions? For example, many sharp turns, rise and fall repeatedly (wavy). His condition would be more troublesome, if the driver has not been known very well with the terrain to be traversed.

GPS and Cruise Control
The condition is exactly what used Scania, the truck and bus manufacturer famous of Sweden (now part of the Volkswagen Group) offers a system called "Active Prediction " . The system works by using GPS and cruise control (cruise control).

With both systems, the vehicle can predict the condition of terrain to be traversed by topography. Furthermore, the system will adjust vehicle speed and engine speed according to road conditions.

For example, in derivatives, the system will reduce engine speed to slow up the vehicle. The same thing happened when climb, engine speed will be raised automatically to add zing.

Described, the system is profitable on a bumpy road. Because the engine speed up or down at the right time. With this addition, fuel consumption can be lowered, more efficient 3 percent compared with the control system of ordinary or regular curise.

Because it is used in large bertonase trucks, Scania has calculated the savings and CO2 emission reductions during the year when the system is used. For the tractor trailer with a weight of 40 tons, a year should be a distance of 180,000 km, it will save operating costs 2200 euros of fuel alone. While the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), reduced 4,000 tons.

Emirai's Futuristic and modern Car Dashboard concept

Tokyo - As reported by engadget, Tuesday (12/13/2011) Mitsubishi issued a concept Emirai they mentioned would be realized in 10 years. Manager of Automotive Electronics Development Center Mitsubishi Electric Kiyoshi Matsutani said the main features of this dashboard is on display systems.




Dashboard of the car was no longer shows the concept of the mediocre.

For the instrument panel so far using the LCD will use projection screens on the dashboard so the screen can change making it more attractive.

The most interesting is the use of biometric interface, so you can adjust the seat position based on your heart rate and temperature. This makes the relaxed riding position.

There is also a touch panel on the driver's side driver that can be used to write various commands.

All features are touch screen, the interface in the dashboard can be selected by pressing the buttons on the steering wheel.

Dashboard of a car during these tend to be boring. With a layer of plastic everywhere that is not eye-catching. It seems to be changing. Dashboard of a car in 10 years would be more cool.

This's car audio for you: ideal staging and imaging is not impressed sound strange

Keep in mind that the ideal staging and imaging is not impressed sound strange, phasey and artificial. He should have created a strong impression of the stage and the whole image. Well good luck, good luck!

Many questions about the staging and imaging and its application in our vehicles. Actually what is staging? And what is the imaging? Let us peeled one by one in this article.

Note this article is intended for the staging and imaging in everyday contexts and not in the context for the contest and others.

Staging can be defined as a place where musicians play the musical examples on the concert stage, in recording studios, in pubs, in restaurants and others.

There is a derivation of this staging of high-stage (stage height), width of the stage (stage width) and depth of the stage (stage depth).

The bottom line is dependent on the stage where he recorded the acoustic conditions (ambience) and is influenced also by the acoustic recording is reproduced.

Many systems are capable of producing a good tonal accuracy, but failed to reproduce the ambience of the recording. What causes it?



Acoustic. Plays a very large acoustic sound reproduction is produced for example when recording a song 35 girls choir at the Cathedral of Westminster Abbey that physically have a stage width of 45 meters, 15 meters stage height and stage depth ranging from soprano to alto at the front until the back 9 meters and the distance to the recording microphone about 6 meters.

It would be hard pressed to be perfectly reproduced in the distance the car pillar to pillar width for example, only 1 meter in height 1.4 meters and it is only 0.4 meters.

So required careful planning and use of quality tools to reproduce approaching its original condition.

Imaging is the position of each of the singers on the stage is clear and tangible example the lead singer in the middle of accompaniment in the left, organist at the right. So imaging is the content or the content sounds we hear on the stage.

Here we see clearly that between the actual staging and imaging related, that is why often both of these things are often juxtaposed.

Well what can be done is to reproduce in proportion to the installation and settings carefully.

Generally with the help of first-class installation techniques, audio equipment on board, and Angling accurate positioning, cutting x-over, and assisted with a special device or a kind of equalizer and DSP (Digital Sound Processor), the staging and imaging can be reproduced at least approach although it does not can be perfect 100 percent with the original sound.

Now how to get the staging and imaging are step by step? Here are some tips that can be done.

1. Before starting to keep in mind when doing the process 2 to 9 below, in order to record all the process below (2 to 9) and repeat if there is a shortage in the process.

2. Choose a car with the contours of the dashboard of a wide and flat, as much as possible the type of cabin singles such as MPV or SUV (but by no means sedan not only challenge is greater). Useful to get the pillar to pillar width and depth of the dashboard is ideal for positioning and Angling is ideal.

3. Installing and setting in the installer is experienced and willing to work on this project carefully and are patient enough in a comprehensive setting.

4. Plug the well silencer on the ground floor, doors, ceilings, hood, including the fender and dashboard. Do this carefully so that road noise, engine noise and mechanical noise can be reduced as low as possible

5. Choose Head Units, Power, Speakers including processor that has a distortion and noise as small as possible so that the outcome more predictable.

6. Often audition live concert and CD recording livenya use as a comparison

7. Speaker Placement, plug the speaker midbass, midrange and tweeter at the adjacent position and try to have a different path length thin difference between left and right speakers. Some cars I see use the kick panel to anticipate this. But then the ideal stage for high-mounted tweeters should be ear height. For that experimentation is key!

8. Setting tonal balance first do not rush to catch up staging and imaging (on this will be discussed in a special article about the tonal balance). Believe balanced tonal balance that will help produce an accurate staging and imaging. If you use the eq then use eq with independent channels with a lot of bands in order to solve the problem at a particular frequency either peak or dip

9. Crossover settings either passively or actively with a planned experiment, use the most optimal cut point based on the specifications of the speakers. Special attention shall be made on a different speaker brands and series.

10. Use the time alignment (if you use the processor) carefully, measure carefully and try focus on an even keel in the middle of the stage. Focus on sound balanced single seat in one position or two-seat listening position (dual listening position.

Finally, one thing that can later impress us with your installers skill is when you are with a full condition limitations, but to achieve results very maximum.

XO-1 is considered as the fastest RC cars in the world

Plano, - certainly, with such capabilities, the most powerful existing supersport in the world. it certainly will not be able to defeat him. Because the RC, too, the XO-1 is considered as the fastest RC cars in the world.

Do not joke about the car Radio Control (RC) version of this traxxas made. Cars with a length of 68.6 cm or 1:7 scale compared to the real car, it could "menclat" or reach a top speed of 161 km per hour (kph) in just 4.92 seconds. As for the 0 - 97kpj (0-60mil) - RC car that is named XO-1 is - just takes 2.4 seconds.


Electric motor
XO-1 can menclat because RC uses a system of motion all-wheel or all-wheel drive (AWD). All four wheels rotated directly by electric motors at each wheel. Amazingly, the types of brushless motors that are used or without borstel. Others, supported weight, just 4.75 kg, batteries included.

The greatness of man-made electric motors called Big Block Brushless traxxas, working on the voltage 1.650 kV. Other packages with this RC is a lithium-polymer 3-cell 5000 mAh capacity.

To control (remote control) used the latest TQi traxxas radio system. The attractive feature of this remote control, before being used must download the application traxxas links to your iPhone or iPod touch that is placed at the bottom. Well in this part of the performance parameters, between the steering wheel and gas sensitivity, the percentage of steering, power brakes and gas setting is set.

This application will also be informed (show) the speed of this car when applause in a few seconds. Another RC information displayed is round and the temperature of the motor and battery voltage.

Aerodynamics & downforce
Interestingly enough, to prevent the body menclat into the air as applause (because of body lightly), the car carefully designed on the computer to obtain maximum downforce. In addition, in order to go fast, smooth surface of the body is made!

The plan, the XO-1 goes on sale traxxas on 30 December 1100 at a price of U.S. dollars. Just a reminder, the RC is certainly not suitable as children's toys. Even to play it too, sure the owner will be trouble. Unless a circuit oval with a long straight track!

iPhone or iPod touch
For the observer, is certainly a great ability to cause problems when playing it. Since it is very fast, certainly can not be played on the floor of the warehouse or complex residential seamless way. Must be played on an oval circuit.

Another problem, the size of it all, not easy to keep a steady eye on the XO-1 while sliding. Even to know its speed, traxxas should make a special application that can downloaded and operated through an iPhone or iPod touch.

How to detect Damage to the shock absorber

Many contributing factors driving comfort, one good suspension performance. When these components are less good condition or damaged, would obviously interfere with driving, such as stability. Talk stability, keselamatanlah stakes.

How to detect Damage to the shock absorber 

Damage to the shock absorber can cause symptoms due to unsteady and shaky car is not perfect maneuverability. Negative symptom control is obtained, such as oversteer.

shock-absorber could detect declining performance of the three sectors, namely visual, sound, and taste. Here's an explanation that can be used to find out if your car shock-absorber still functioning well.

1. Voice
Another trend, the emergence of strange noises from the street when passing shock-absorber damaged or perforated. The sound is quite disturbing and felt a little vibration on the steering wheel or deck near the pedals.

2. visually

shock-absorber performance weakened due to the leakage and seepage can be seen in the presence of oil that sticks to the outside shock-absorber. Can also seepage has started covered by dust or dirt. So, to be sure, the dirt in shock-absorber must be held, whether or not containing oil.

3. Feeling or control

This condition is necessary for adequate sensitivity and good sensitivity of the driver because it involves the feeling. Another situation that can help is the emergence of symptoms of excessive wobbling when driving at high speed. It could also arise from excessive swing as it passes speed bumps or potholes.

If one of the three conditions above happen to your vehicle, whenever possible, consult and do repairs in the workshop of your subscription. The goal, maintaining the stability and comfort of the car while driving. Be sure to use the original components are still covered with the seal manufacturer to obtain maximum results.
