well im not going then. not just because i work for the ABC, but because that show is the most false and mis-leading program ever created. its purely for ratings, cause we all know what hot topics "young drivers" and "hoons" are like at the moment. do you know what kind of an angle their going to put on the story?

Knowing TT it will no doubt be about young drivers and hoons but seeing them at Wakefield (i.e. off the street) can only be a good thing? The story is something about young drivers need for speed so I am hoping that some of the "regulars" I see out there turn up, i.e. the older gentleman that punts his AMG CL500 (or whatever it is) around, some of the WRX fellas etc. They will no doubt put a spin and probably say how we "hoons" are honing our skills on the track for the street or some crap. But I want to give Wakefield the best opportunity to promote itself.

I was going to try and get interviewed to say how days at Wakefield are getting people off the street, thats not just young drivers but older drivers and getting them to experience what there limits are and how quickly they find them in a relatively safe environment. Drivers are learning skills for life that could help them in a dangerous situation on the street.

Then again that might be edited by Today Tonight to read something else.

At least the ABC (and SBS) seem to report in a non-biased fashion rather than sensationised garbage that ACA and TT regularly put out.

i was at wakefield yesterday, to catch up with some friends and get me all revved up for next saturday. i also got a ride in my mates EVO 9. lots of fun! saw jayce and erica too! im so keen now. cant wait.....

as far as i know its a public session, just a "no speed limit" day. camma will know more.....

Gus, if you had bothered to read the previous threads (you lazy smuck!!!), you'd know that TT was there on thursday.

My Son Matty J had a great time at Wakefeild :) - Thanks to Eddie n Gordo for taking him and taking good care of him. Thanks to Jayce and E for making him feel welcome.

He's unbeleivably fast on the Go carts. I know he'll be drivin a HPI around Wakefield when he's old enough (maybe even Sinista).

Exactly the way to do it mate. Once he has some experience up he will be blowing the doors off me. :O Good to hear you will get him on the track early. There really is no better way to get him learning his and the cars limits. It's how a good friend of mine started and there is just no way I can compete with his driving ability.

Its an Open Practise Day so anyone can come along. I actually posted up on StreetRides (twice) and didn't get a response. More than happy for them to head out. Doesn't matter what you drive and if it's an R32 GTR you are not allowed on the track without giving me a drive first. :P (just jokes)

yep, they'll need a wakefield licence.

camma, whats the go for saturday? meeting before hand or just meeting ppl up there. i haven't met any of you guys (valvebounce: except jayce...), but i know your car, so keep your eye out for a silver R33 with GTR wing.....

Thats right its the same price whether you are driving or a passenger.

Haven't set a time to leave yet but it will be early. Feel free to get all the SAU crew to meet at 7 at the Shell Servo, I might not be able to meet you there though. Knowing the guys they will be going the back way past Tarago. You won't be able to miss we will have a fair few cars up there including my car. I will be sure to be at the servo or come and grab you out there. The list so far includes:

Me - S15 200SX

Coxy - SR20DET 1200 ute

Dan - VY Clubsport

Joe - Clubsport

Chris - XD ute (400rwhp NA 351)

Johno - Evo VIII

Luke - R33 Skyline

Pete - R33 Skyline

Niko - Supra TT

A few others aren't 100% yet and Ben from VE might even take the work ute out like last time (V6 VS shitta ute)! haha Unfortunately the race car is still undergoing surgery after Phillip Island.

Anyone else?!

List updated.

    • 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.
    • 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.
