After being booked for the whole day I managed a total of 3 laps on the first run, thanks to the good old ceramic turbine wheel exploding in my turbo (and this is a totally stock engine running standard boost). After removing the dump pipe and tipping it on it's end, it was like tipping rocks out of a steel bucket. Anyway s..t happens and it's now going to get a GCG rebuild/flow job, which will hurt the bank but look forward to future track days ! :wub:

There is no Boo Boo, lol. I put all the times up there because a few guys said they wanted to see everything not just their best.

I will have the latest hall of fame sorted out in a few days, once everyone has had a chance to grab whatever they want from that data.

Sounds like a Road Trip in the making. Throw in a few Touge runs on the way and its the ultimate holiday.

Yeah its awesome fun, a group of us went as "pit crew" for a mate who went down for a NSW Evo Track day...and of course blitzed them....hahahaha

Had the XR8 ute for carrying the essentials like the esky and the BBQ, yes we had a barbie in the pits to the jealousy of the NSW guys!!!

I'd be keen to head down to some of the NSW tracks as well later in the year, give them a try.
Im with you gorden im keen to try somw NSW tracks...
Wakefield Park is a nice track, unfortunately their timing facilities are some less desirable...

it also has a bit more "technical" aspect to it I suppose, especially the back section...and ther is only one straight...

Yeah, sounds great to me I'd love to get to some of the NSW tracks.

Going to bring that fancy timing gear Paul?

Guys, this will be sorted out for next year, discussions are happening at the moment :D

.....even the mountain runs :D ......

We are looking at buying our own timing gear also so we dont have to rely on track timing

Can you guys pm me the link to where you got your gear? We are currently comparing etc and looking at prices - thanks HEAPS

Edit.....we also have a club BBQ, so dont worry about that :(

I have built the timing gear. It is hard real time to 1/1000th accuracy. I print to 1/100th on the session sheets.

The main laptop in the timing room, the beam at the track, sign and hand controller are all radio linked and run off batteries.

It also measures the air temperature and track temperature and prints it on the end of day sheet so you can see the conditions at every set you run.

The extras that I will be bringing back now that the beam is 100% sorted out are:

1. The giant electronic sign that shows lap times to the spectators live as the cars pass the start/finish line.

2. The pit hand controller that allows the pit lane marschall to order each session in best lap running. It also lets him edit the next session so it is ready to go once the track clears.

    • 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.
