I think more people would go if you didnt need a cams licence of whatever it is that you need to go track days.. drags you can just turn up and off you go.

I don't think so.

You can organise a temporary CAMS licence on the day. When you get you act together & want a permanent one (re-issued every 12 months) it involves the massive inconvenience of

A. Filling out a form.

B. Writing a cheque/credit card authorisation for <$100.

C. Sending it to CAMS.

It really is not that hard.

You mean like these places?

Frankly I get tired of people whinging there is nowhere to go & yet when I turn up to track days there are half empty grids. :D

I think he was going for more of the "skid pan @ 1am cruise with the boys" kinda thing.

Pfft. "Motoring enthusiasts" my ass if they don't goto track days and try one :D

Well my point is twofold.

1. Once you have had a proper go at some track days you will understand how completely lame "exploring the limits" of your car on the road is.

2. We need to differentiate ourselves as "motoring enthusiats" simply so we don't all get landed with the "hoon" tag.

Sorry my bad. . I didnt know about them as i havent seem them advertised, and im sure there are alot of people that dont know about them too. I would love to go to track days and skid pans but like i said i didnt know about them and when there open

Well it may be a bit hard if you are in Karratha, but if you are doing FIFO I am sure someone will have an event on when you are in Perth.

As an aside I have found the people who organise & participate in these things to be enthusiastic, supportive & generally great to deal with. The shame of it is that there aren't more people involved. Have a look at http://www.circlework.com.au for some photos of the Speed event at Wanneroo last weekend (14th). You can see that anything from a full blown series IV RX-7 sports sedan to a humble Mini is perfectly fine to get out there & have a go in.

EXACTLY!!!!

I attend every NoLimitEvents night at Barbagallo (not as a driver, I assist with the smooth running of the event) and have done for a few months. We could easily run twice the amounts of cars that we get!!!!

I say if you want to show how good you are to your mates, get your car down there and get it timed. Compare your times and obviously, the fastest lap time is the better car/driver....and as a bonus you can do over 150 kph with out the risk of losing your car for 48 hours....no kerbs or trees to hit! Seems like a no brainer to me.

anyways......... i think the skyline that was on the news at the impound place was Cerbera..from antilag.com ....his display picture is the extact same car that was on the news...unless theres twins.. :S

LOL no it wasnt simon's car.

    • 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.
