definitely a top weekend, i had a ball.

dont know how i managed getting more pissed on friday night than saturday night, but it made the driving that much more interesting saturday morning!!!

thank you to chris and snowy for organising, thank you to james for all his hard work on the day, leading up to it and after!!! and of course to the officials for without them the day would be nothing.

also to all who took photos and video, namely joel!!!

yeah got in nice and early and got 2 wang burgers... filled me up for the day.

I didn't realise you wer there dezz.

GTS4 was good. Love teh GT2530 (I think) on the RB20 styles. Needs a tune, and needs to have a decent boost controller fitted. AWD in the GTS4 was so much fun... much more than RWD in the GTS4... dosen't steer as well in RWD mode.

Tyre coming off the rim was a scare in the morning, and prevented me from enjoying the long wang n short wang... but skidpanning was good.

Almost beat snowy in a run too if I hadn't knocked over the cone :) (granted he did spin out twice).

This is gonna be my last DECA (seeing as I'm moving to Sydney next month) and it was great fun. Almost tempts me to drive down to Shepp for the weekend next time its on.

Some sad news, towards the end of the day my gearbox was really struggling to go into gear (causing a lot of runs to be done in 2nd gear only)... looks like the problem is still there, the clutch dosen't seem to be disengaging even when the pedal is 100% in, making it hard to put it inot and pull it out of gears. Driving around by matchin revs isn't fun, esp in traffic. Looks like it might be a siezed thrust bearing (worst case) or just not enough pressure from the clutch master (best case).

I had an awesome weekend as always.

Its a bit of a pity I couldn't compete in the afternoon because of my clutch, but the drive back to Melbourne re-assured me I made the right decision to pull out, it was slipping all the way home and I definately wouldn't have made it back if I was out on the skidpan yesterday arvo.

Thanks to all of the organisers, officials and BBQ crew for a fantastic job as per usual.

Really looking foward to the next one, not looking foward to the photos from this one though. Definately was the most rowdy Deca yet.

What an AWESOME weekend, seems to get better every time :) My times were down from last time, but i was having toooooo much fun. Glad the old guy didn't pass out in my car, during a run, he loved every moment of it :banana:.

I was happy to let others drive my car (correction: try to drive my car :)), shows me that the "light switch" power catches everyone off gaurd. Troy did an outstanding drift round the entire pan, felt awesome as i was in the passenger seat :).

As usual a big thanks to the organisers, officals, volunteers and RACINGLINE for sponsoring the event. Nige's Supra looked and performed outrageously well all day, he should probably consider entering the DUTTON, just to see how it goes.

The "after party" was as expected, messy and memorable ;), GREAT freakin night!

People don't be affraid to post up photo's and footage :banana:

    • 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.
