This weekend (Sept 15 to 17) is the 2006 Alphera Dutton Rally.

http://www.duttonrally.com

The event is based in and around Central Victoria (Shepparton and Winton) but makes it's way back to town on the Sunday for events at Essendon Airport and Sandown Racecourse.

There are 3x SAU teams competing this year...

Car 30: Snowy and Scotland in the upgraded backup GT-R (White R33)

Car 36: Miss Juz and D1 Adam in the super sponsorised 200SX (Blue S15)

Car 49: Steve McQueen (Roy) and me in the mighty, reborn Silver Bullet (Silver R32)

We are all in the same group - so do Essendon at 9.30am Sunday - then Sandown at 1.00pm.

The other 97 cars in the field are made up of swanky M3s, Porkas, Rarris, V8 Muscle, cheater Evos - and apparently a certain R34 GT-R Z-Tune!

The road to Dutton has been fueled by heartache and pain - with some amazing effort made and challenges met to get the cars ready in time. We'd all love to see some SAU support!

Should be a fun weekend, but james we don't have any events at essendon airport its all at Sandown on Sunday.

My car is all ready to go so now we just have to wait for the big event to begin, hopefully the other SAU teams get there stuff finished before thursday!

Would be great to see some support from SAU Members down there.

Go Team Lil Blu!! :ermm:

I should be in Shep on Friday night (accomodation pending) and for the day on Saturday.

Daft question, where is it in Shep? Will it be clearly sign posted? Not that I doubt the people I might be with won't know where it is anyway!

You sure its not at Essendon on Sunday Juz? The latest event schedule I got we were at Essendon in the morning at Sandown after lunch. But then you should have the manual now so you should know best.

Alan - we just drag up and down the main street at Shep. I mean where else in Shep could we possibly do motorsport?

Nice. Is Sandown a better spectator sport than Essendon?

Might take the little miss down to inject her veins with some motorsport!

James, is the Z-Tune actually gonna be entered into this Dutton?... coz that would be sweeet!

McQueen and I spotted the R32 Golf (car 33) in all it's stickery goodness parked outside the Playboy Mansion last night. Would have let the tyres down, but it's not in our class :P

Fern: 2x motorkhanas at Essendon then laps and another motorkhana at Sandown

Snows: after about 2hrs work last night, the bullet now has a perfectly working horn. You guys don't stand a chance ;)

Actually I've had 8hrs sleep every night this week. That's more important than any horn. ;)

You boys better stop worrying about crap like dataloggers and other useless stuff and get some sleep tonight cause we don't need another Peter Brock incedent. Seriously.

    • 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.
