You need an obd plug in unit to do that, but yeah, it's easy.

Brakes an diff are much easier. Just point an ir gun.

Methodical, this is why I'll pm the info. Hopefully will still be able to get info over to the guys that want to use it.

hahaha, why are you so over protective?

Any data input is valuable input as far as am concerned, just because some people cant carry a discussion without getting defensive

I won't even get into how unreliable pointing an IR gun at the rotor is.

Not only that but if you were taking temps from various cars with similar brack setups then there are way too many variables in there to make it a reliable measurement. i.e. there is no experimental control.

About the only thing the IR gun will tell you is if one rotor is way hotter than another rotor. Which is useful for telling when the caliper brackets lock up on crap mustang brakes.

I think you seriously underestimate the amount of lab time I have.

4 points on the rotor is more than enough to get a good idea of temp and distribution. A series of 10 or so cars, with temps taken after several runs provided pretty solid data--certainly more rigorous than anything else that has been provided.
I did find that at the end of the dragon, temps were pretty constant throughout the rotor. There wasn't much hot spotting, mostly due to it being a longer run without any hard braking zones.
More telling was the diff temps, but I'll spare you the results

Wow...what do you want then? I full scientific study? No offense, but we take what results we can get from owners, and use the data in a relative method to apply to an average for all. I doubt Red is saying his results represent 99.9% of everything, but what it does represent is solid data which no one else has generated with as much accuracy as you can achieve in a field study.

I think you seriously overestimate yourself. As long as different drivers were making those runs the data is totally junk, as everyones driving habits are different. You'd also have no solid proof that an entire run was made or that they had to slow down for half the time. It's near impossible to get a 100% clear run through the dragon when temps are above 40* unless you go at 4 am, so the likely hood that you got dozens of 100% clear runs with everyone driving almost identically is basically a load of crap.

Then why trust his "data"? He doesn't own a Z and ever since he sold the one he did have he's had an overly negative connotation towards everything Z related on this board under the guise of "helping out". Then he goes on to insult everyone by saying we are too dumb to want his "data". Yeah, thats who i'd trust for information.
