Mines petrol, was an xr8 falcon shell which i smashed to pieces. Now have an R34 GTR shell.

I also have a few other mates with them and about 4 others own one in my street.

Will get some pics and the feq of mine.

im not running the 4wd, only rwd.

For the westies - think on tuesday nights heaps of people used to meet up at the harvey norman car park in penrith for races, i think its still on???

Cool!

Paul: Yeah man... your buggy will drift with PVC tyres! Take a rear and a front wheel off, go into a hardware store, and find some PVC that *just* fits over your rims. Measure the widths of the rims, cut it up, wrap tape around the rim, and wedge the PVC over it. Getting your rubber tyres off might be an issue... from memory yours are glued on? (they're supposed to be)

GTRL: Drifting with PVC tyres on a RWD car is next to impossible, but it'll be fun to watch anyway! I'm leaning towards the netball courts in Curl Curl if there is no track to go on. I'm going to sus out St Ives onroad today!

I have an Xray Factory Kit 05 but no transmittor. I've just left the RC Onroad scene after 3 years of pretty hardcore racing. I may be tempted to bring out the beast again. 4WD Onrad drift isd where it's at. Throw on a HPI R34 body to top it off.

Satanic, I may have a spare TL01 shaft at home. I'll have a look.

It's still on but they got kicked out of the harvey Norman car park. It's now on at the Penrith Regatta centre next to the water.

Pop them in the oven for 10 mins. They'll slide right off

do you use pvc pipe over the rims to drift?

do you use pvc pipe over the rims to drift?

Thats the easiest way.

or you can buy specially made drift tyres. They got more traction than PVC but still lose traction now and then. Clicky

Or Just put in a 6 turn motor. You'll drift on anything

Yeah, there's tons of nice smooth places... but i want a track for proper controlled drift!

Like I said, there's tons of netball courts, which will have no issues with landlords or security, but no track!

We'll keep it as an option though =-]

And here's some proof that a buggy and a nitro can drift, but they're both 4wd. These are the netball courts that I used to go to with my mates. As you can see, the track is made out of power cable, and a few bottles of various liquids. Kinda boring now.

I apologise for my mates camera-work... it gives me a headache!

Netball Courts (2.08Mb XVID)

There's a newish track at Windsor (about 50mins from Ryde) where it's Indoor, proper track, 20Ft driver stand, pit lane, plently of power, tables and chairs, canteen and a hobby shop on site. They race only on Monday and Friday nights but every other time the track is open to the public. $10 will get you about 4 hours track time. It's the best track by far in Sydney. No Nitro allowed though

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
