Simonsen and White both had an Off in one of the stages today.

Thursday, 19 April, 2007 12.57PM

902 - Simonsen / Searcy - Off on TS13 Weldborough Pass - 8.4km - crew are OK

934 - White / White - Off on TS13 Weldbourgh Pass - 11.2km - crew are OK

Jeff getting faster in the Evo according to what results are available.

The Skelta is also out with mechanical dramas.

I have a gripe though.... BOOO to the Targa Tasmania website for not having bigger pictures available on the website.

This is the best I can get of Jeff in action.

Results page down whilst they do some work on it.

Current feelings from Jeff is that the car isn't as fast for him as the GTR.

Current placings as far as I can work out from non-confirmed times this afternoon is about 14th.

More when the results come in.

IT WAS FANTASTIC!! :)

Three more days to go!! ;)

That's all i've got time for, nice update Pete!

You suck!! :P

What kind of post is that! :laughing-smiley-014:

How about a quick run down of how you are doing for all us minions back here in Melbourne! :(

Glad you are enjoying it and well done on the Hulk!

Okay report.

Jeff and 3 or 4 other Evos broke their front diffs on the same jump today.

Apparently one wheel lands on the dirt, one on the tarmac, and if you get a little bit of air underneath you the revs flair for a split second, at the same time the diff's lock up via the computers, and when you land, one side wants to spin, one doesn't and BANG.

So they spent the rest of the day driving on the rear diff only.

An Evo driving on its rear diff, is like a GTR trying to drive on it's front diff. Not fast....

New diff going in now and should be ready for tomorrow.

Current position, about 22nd.

BASS OUT

But isn't that what a rally car should do in a normal day's work?? - Get loads of air and cover all types of surfaces? Hmmm....

So what you ar trying to say is that when the cars talents run out all EVO drivers show why they needed and EVO in the 1st place?

Now thats funny!!!!!! :laughing-smiley-014: :laughing-smiley-014: :laughing-smiley-014:

Oh and WRX FTW!!!! :)

Hey ppls.

Well a quick wrap up.

Jeff had the diff replaced that night and was back on track the next morning.

However, placing 60th all day Saturday didn't help his position and driving the wheels off it on Sunday was pointless.

Positions in the 30s during Sunday reflected this.

So, 23rd outright for Jeff. I think that would have been his worst result in 14 years of Targa.

I'm sure Jeff will come on SAU during this week and give a bit of a wrap up.

Well done to Jeff for not leaving the track !!!

Maybe next year he'll be back in a GTR again..........

BASS OUT

Congrats to Jeff as always :)

Just goes to show that 'teh Beable GTR can nevar lose'... esp to a Beable Evo hehe

He had a quick chat/mention about it last year, I don't see why he wouldn't this year.. otherwise we'll just have to beat it out of him :P

    • 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.
    • 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.
