Hi Folks,

Since I have a busted leg - I've set myself up on the lounge with my notebook and TV. I'[ll be watching the race from start to end today - posting comments and discussion as the race goes one.

So sit back - get your wireless keyboards out - turn the TV on to Channel 10 and get prepared to see plenty of Supercheap Auto ads.

Viewing starts in 10 mins......

Thanks B-man - Skaife is out!

"Appears a slipping clutch from the get go for Mark Skaife put himway back in the feild - horrors of all horrors - Jack in the JD car has slammed into the back of him and forced him into the concrete barrier on both sides of the track"

I saw an interview with the 2 rookies driving the Jack Daniels cars yesterday and was impressed they made it to Bathurst at there age (19 n 20yo). Sh!t happens.

this is the first year in maybe 25 that i've watched bathurst. it's pretty interesting - heartbreaking to watch skaife.

i really wish, though, that they would have cars other than commodores and falcons. i'm not familiar with the rules so don't know why this isn't done.

hope your leg gets better soon b-man.

Aussie made cars and V8's only - dont get me wrong I think this gr8 and quite spectacular to watch, I'm a big fan of the V8 Supercars.

Initially I beleive it changed to this because the Aussie made cars couldn't get a look in, and it has grown into THE premier event.

What can we do to get the HPI's into the same level in Australia ? Sure we have heaps of little events but they hardly get mentioned on the same scale.

These days the drivers are meant to be far more professionals with no real privateers...well not compared to 15 years ago...and sure the pace is a lot quicker and harder as the cars are generally more reliable...

BUT, what with the amount of pace cars? Are they just pushing too hard and noone can concentrate at that pace and level? Its funny to see so many mistakes

i think it is just the fact that the safety cars periods were so long. it took ages to get the rat out of his car, and the drivers were just not staying in the groove. and the track condition is changing while they are under the safety car, so they have to get the car up to temp again while learning the condition of the track. some people just seem to be able to do it much better than others, and the people who can't try to hard.

    • 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.
