Hey,

I can't find the original thread, think it was in the events section. . . . .

Anyway, its only a few days away now, can't wait! Just got some new brake pads yesterday, machined my rotors and new brake fluid, I am ready!!! If anyone has the SAU groups can you post them please?? Paul??

No Worries, here is the list. Not everyone is driving, but I think all these guys will be there. What happened to the Events section anyway :D

Also there are a couple of spots free due to last minute car troubles. If you want to come, contact me ASAP. Thanks

Be good to catch up with you and some of the others jason, its been a while.

It has been ages James, good to get out there and have a little fun again!

i might be there just to have a looksy. never been to a sau track day b4 so should be interesting. it will be good to see what some gts-t's do around the track to give me a goal for when im not so cheap. see you there.

Hey, do you still have my old GTST? If so I was driving beside you along Gympie Rd the other night past Chermside in the black 33 4dr. I turned off on Murphy Rd, it still looks good!

I have started packing the car, getting a little excited :bunny:

Yeah, me too!! Am taking spare wheels again but have to swap fronts for rears today. As I found out at skidpan, my new rear tyres have great grip while my shitty fronts are crap and need to go on the rear to be destroyed so that I can validate the need to replace them!!

What tools are you packing Jason?? I always seem to not take the stuff I eventually need. Last time it was wire and zip ties!!

The count down is on. I've been sorting out the lists, having another play with the timing gear and making sure everything is in place. I was worried yesterday wuth the weather, but it looks set to be a geat day.

lol on the zip ties and wire. You never know what you will need.

I usually just take the jack, socket set, screwdrivers, a couple of shifters, some spare coolant, oil, and most importantly, hand soap and and a rag :( Haven't been caught short yet but there is always a first time. . .

Holy trackday action batman!!!

That was a great day, I had a ball. Even the three hours I spent hunched over the timing computer pulling my hair out were fun (in a strange kind of way).

Bummer about the Supra, that thing is a machine.. bigger, better, faster!!!

Hope the day was not too stressful for you Paul, I think everyone would agree the day went really well.

I was really hoping to claim that 1:06 on the clubman but the three 1:09's I did in the same set were prolly more realistic, might have been a misshap with the timing :)

Thans heaps to jmac for taking me out on the passenger drive hour, that was a lot of fun. It was great to see the lines another driver was taking, espacially fun when it is in a 200rwkW r34 with semi slicks!!!

It was great just stuffing around with all the other drivers and volunteers.

Those drift guys were insane, Robbie Bolger is one of a kind and that drift monaro is something else...holy crap!

Once again, thanks heaps Paul, you really go above and beyond for these days.

Cheers,

Pat.

PS: post up some photos, I did not bring my camera!

Yep, thanks to Paul for another great day.

It took me a little while to re-accustom myself with RWD after driving the GTR for the last couple of years but didn't do too bad. I think I managed a 1:06ish for the clubman and a 1:02ish for the sprint. . . . about 1 sec off what I was hoping for but not bad for a GTST sedan with a cat-back. . . :)

Some pics can be found here -

big thanks to paul and all you other guys who volunteered today, i had a great time and i'm pretty sure i'm not alone!!!

i'll be curious to see the times, i think the bridgestone semis were worth about 2 seconds a lap over last time i was there. :P it was a pretty big thrill to keep up with that green drift R32 on the national circuit at the end too.

and pat, no worries mate it was great to have someone along for the passenger rides.

bring on teh videos!!! :wave:

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • 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.
