Alrighty - an opportunity too good to miss has come up so I'm going back to Wakefield for Australia Day in 2007.

Basically it's a limited field of 50 cars (5 x groups of 10 cars for 10min sessions) with an entry fee of $140. The day is being run by Autosports who all seem far too serious but still the cars entered already are FAST and are coming from Syd, Canberra and QLD, and include GTR's, RX7's, EVO's, STI's and Porsches.

Forget Autosalon Circuit Battle too - a lot of these cars are already running under 1.07's. This will be a real Circuit Battle.

Before we have 11ty Billion yes people like last time I will say that we will be doing another decent road trip in 2007.

This is more of a general track day thats just a long way away rather than a road trip.

I'd suggest this one more for the people that want to come and race rather than a social trip as my plan will be to drive up probably Thursday afternoon/night - Race on Friday - Get up early and go home on Saturday.

As I said - we'll have a propper road trip in 2007 again going to Syd with either EC again or Oran Park (since it will be gone in a year or so). Or even better both - so that will be the road trip to come on for the fun of it and shenanigans.

Don't get me wrong - I'm not trying to say "Don't come". I'm just suggesting that there will be another trip later in the year if you are just coming for fun as that one will be better and this one will be pretty busy and not so much fun - unless you are racing.

yeah i had only learnt how to take action shots when we got to uas as i called up tharaka and asked him how to do action shots. i only realised the pics were in dark dark mode half way through the day at wakefield

You've got the same experience at it as me - so give it a shot!

But - and this is to EVERYONE - note your interest VERY soon as I'm told spots are filling, and we have no control over this one.

Send me a PM and I'll let the Autosports people know.

Both Matt's, are you in?

Will your car be ready Ash?

Not sure, depends if i get some "issues" sorted at the moment.

But if its not ready, i will be dead... so its me or the car by Jan 07.

I wont be racing though either way.

I'll just be coming to spectate as i had a great time @ wakefield last time and i havent got any leave over Dec/Jan so that can time into a holiday for me.

Might go onto canberra after that to visit cousins or somethin :P

    • 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.
