Random Dude....ahh your the dude that tried to clean us up in battle 1.....did get some great footage of u sliding in towards us....

Haha... yeah I lost the plot on that one... no practice run and heatstroke = lots of sliding and missing the cones and the gate. Would love to see the footage :D

Another greatly successful and fun DECA!!

Thanks to all who gave up their time to make the event run smoothly.

I loved my newly gained response and torque; probably a little too much :D.

A little hairy moment on the back-track when the ass end got light over the crest and directed me off road. Kept a level head, eased off the power and steered into the dirt then after about 50m eased the car back on the black and got back into it.

Hopefully by next DECA i'll have my suspension sorted.

Thanks Martin for the clips, they look great!!

ok all video's are now uploaded..enjoy.

Thanks. You took some good vids of me and Baxter driving the Z. Thanks for that. The aus300zx members will be pleased. I also linked to vids of Ben, who is one of the aus300 forum moderators, driving the burgundy jspec imports R33.

Thanks to everyone that made the day run as smoothly as it did. It was my first time and definately won't be my last.

Also much thanks to the AA group, i managed to go through a whole year without getting pissed....one night with you guys and that went down the drain...lol

Thanks again to all those involved...

My car picked up a nasty vacuum leak sometime between the start of a run and the end.

Let's hope it's a hose or a aac or something simple. You get some "piss off hoon" looks from people at traffic lights when your car idles between 1850 and 1950rpm and pulses..... It very tiring driving to work and having the damn thing surge at 60kph.

Anywho, Had and awesome day, decided that I was going to go FTW this deca and not hack it up on the skid pan so I'm SUPER KEEN to get the results.

Bring them on!

Pete - I think both you and Adam (and maybe Ryan but I didn't get to see much of him during the day) showed that you can drive sideways AND fast at the same time. It was very impressive to watch and showed a lot of skill.

I think some of the 1st timers might have been a bit awed by some of the driving being done but really most of the skills have just come from being regular attendants at these days. We really need to get DavidM back as in the early days he was in a league of his own in RWD.

...Poite, i have no idea how you get the power down on street tyres. My thing is fun on streets but i couldnt control it.

...i had been doing so well with the booz since NYE...im kind of pissed off with myself that i fell off the wagon so hard. Mostly because i was enjoying having so much cash from the absence of big nights. I really need to strap a hidden camera to myself and see if i can sell my benders to VH1 or something :mellow:

Well what another fantastic weekend, I had a great day and must admit that those battle runs are my favorite of all the ones we have done.

They are a good pace and loads of fun!!

Thanks to everyone who helped out on the day. Great to meet some new members. Aaron & Tim, you guys did really well and I look forward to seeing you at the next one.

Feeling very exhausted after our trek from Shepparton to Portsea and back to Brighton yesterday for dinner, Finally got home at 9.30 last night.

But it was all worth it!! :mellow: FUN FUN FUN!

it was my first deca, and i can say that i absolutely loved it. For that i have to thank all the officials and volunteers.

even though i was quite slow and i reckon that i doubled the cones average single handedly :-) i still had a lot of fun. Thankx to Alan and James for letting me be a passenger in their cars and Sam for being a passenger in my car and directing me.

i will finish by saying, I will be back.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
