powerplay imports are holding a track day at wakefield on monday 26th june details cane be found on their website on www.powerplayimports.com

now the main reason i'm letting you guys know is that the infamous r32 gtr of winfield/gibson motorsport in 1992 tooheys bathurst will be there tearing up the track, now wouldn't it be nice to be racing there with the real godzilla with you're own pride n joy?

personally i wouldn't mind going for a looksie just to see first hand for myself for a piece of motoring history as i've read, and heard stories about it, but in reality haven't seen it in action, and it'll be bloody awesome to see and hear it in full anger.

if gtr was ready i'd be entering, just so i can get a nice video clip of it and my gtr tearing up the track.

Hi Guys,

Regarding spectators at the track day, we have not advertised for spectators at this stage for a few reasons.

1. The day is being catered for so everyone attending (weather they are drivers or 2nd drivers) needs to be payed up before the event commences. As you can surely appreciate, organising catering for an unknown amount of people is near impossible. Hence I need to know exactly how many people are coming so I can make sure that everyone gets fed properly. The Wakefield Cafe will not be open on the day so our catering is the only food that will be available at the track.

2. If we get too many spectators it takes my attention off the track and drivers. I am putting this day on for the drivers and it is very important to me that I am there and able to assist my drivers with anything they may need. If I am too busy controlling spectators and overwhelming numbers of people at the circuit, I cannot do this. It is also most important that I am able to monitor the track for any incidents or dangerous driving and having to monitor large amounts of spectators makes this near impossible.

At this stage I am going to have to say that spectators will not be permitted to the event unless you are a 2nd driver who is coming with a registered driver.

Thanks and I hope you can understand our position on this issue. I can appreciate that you would all like to see the Winfield/Gibson Motorsport R32 GTR driving at full race pace, however at this stage this is an opportunity that is only being extended to the drives and 2nd drivers. I can assure you that there will be plenty of photo's from the day available and there may even be some video footage that some individuals may take.

Thanks

Tosh

tosh it's really you? duuuuude buddy how you been? you working for powerplay imports huh coooool.

i was on the website a few days ago looking at a few 'upgrade parts' for gtr then i came across the track day. that's why i figured to post it up here.

it's me you dumbass goran aka googs tsk tsk you forgot me already huh shame on ya, and for that how bout a few discount prices for some parts? just j/k

hows the field looking atm for the track day? i'm interested in entering but b4 i do gotta wait for the friggin radiator to come in from japan overnight my ass.

Yes it's really me!!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOGS!!!! That's right... it was on the tip of my tongue but I just couldn't get it!! HAHAHA

I've been good mate, yeah Powerplay's going well. If you're interested in entering then there is a spot for you but you'll have to be quick!!

Still got the Salon?

I still have photo's from that weekend we came down to Canberra.. got some of your GTR too

man it's been a while, good to see you still alive hee hee

yeup business good, haven't had time to play with gtr, just working away. i finally replaced the clutch haa haa from a nismo to os giken, miss the 'rattle' sound i got from the nismo clutch, as the os giken doesn't 'rattle' but who cares it does the job.

for some reason i thought power play were in melbourne don't know why, and the amount of times i've been to sydney for work on weekends i could've come round to check for parts. bugger.

mate i'll be lying if i said put me down for the track event as i need a radiator, which i've ordered, but damn taking soo long, so now i'm looking at sunday 2nd july wakefield skylines australia are having a track event.

anyways might see ya at the track some time soon

    • 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.
