We'll hope everyone got home in one piece and all, hopefully no cops bothered anyone. Would of been a good day if it didn¡¦t rain, we got there too early since the track was wet and racing started at about 12 after everyone who wanted to was asked to go on the track to get all of the dam water off...most people overdid it eg. The white WRX nearly hit the dam main event organizer..abit to much sideways.

Good turn-up of people the times for waiting for runs wasn¡¦t to bad compared to some other drag strips in Vic. Good support from Skylines (Victoria) Australia with a think about a total of 11 cars coming up in the morning in one group and bout 3 rocking up later.

It was a good day, caught up with a couple of people and met more people on the forum. Hopefully next time, if there is a next time I will have my car ready.

Good show up of different cars...Skylines, rx7, wrxs, fords, commardores, rx3, 200sx & some other classics. The Rh9 r34 gtr was there ran 12.5 or something like that close to 9 ƒº. GTR700 was there ripped 9.15 something close or lower than that, we were hoping for high 8¡¦s but it started to rain before they would have another run. Which cut the day short to about 3pm or so.

Got about 64pics on the digital camera will upload them soon when I get a sec & also we got some video footage about and hour so that will be getting edited soon and hopefully we can make something of it. Post ya times if you want.

My best time was 15.18 which for a first timer to the drags wasn't too bad (I guess??) though I was hoping to go under 15secs........

Today being my first time running a car at a drag meet I must say that it was a blast and I can't wait for our next outing to the drags.

my best was 14.4 i believe - didn't get the timeslip tho as that was just b4 it started pissing down... Guess it was better than the other GTS-T's ;) so can't complain too much.

Those 225/50R16's didn't help much - next time i think i'll just use my regular street 17"s

Those helmets were annoying from what people have said...thoe you cant hear your car because of it, it dosent help when you have some old ford with no exhuast reving the fark out of their car near you.

haha....yeah those darn helmets..now i know why people use shift lights.;) my best time was 15.28....also not bad for a newbie with only an exhaust mod. R31Heaven ur not the only one to stick it into 5th instead of 3rd....haha.i couldnt stop laughing at myself ... though i did pull a 16.12 out of it...haha. had an awsome time...and the drive back was fun too. the gtr vs sti was a good match, both managing to get identical times of 13.08 or was it 12.08, cant remember.

    • 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.
    • 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.
