yeah you want the car on the ground to check alignment. up on stands is no good. obviously you can jack it up to adjust, but must be on flat ground again to re-check.

oh yeah for sure. what i'm getting at is if you would need to roll back (e.g. 10m) then roll forward to allow all the tyres/suspension to 'seat' then check again. right?

How about using a simple clinometer for camber measurement? Autospeed states the ones picture cost $15 from a marine store, you could bolt it to a length along the side and just rest it against your wheel (maybe with a right angle at the bottom to sit it on the ground).

Hows it go on the race track lauren, ours sucks (although we snuck home 3rd behind 2 race cars at the road event the other day). too much understeer

Its fun at motorkhanas though..... http://www.hgeconsulting.com.au/khanazed.wmv

I actually find it a struggle on the tighter motorkhana courses (although you seem to make it look effortless) but the more open courses I seem do quite well in. I've only been participating in motorkhana and circuit for last three months so i still have a LOT to learn. It's a bit of fun anyway it wouldnt be a car i would use if i wanted to be ultra competitive no haha.

Oran Park. 2 sprint races on the sat, and a sprint and a 1hr enduro on the sunday.....hopefully we can last an hour on a tank of fuel this time, last time we had to retired about 4 min from the end

Go the open fuel filler :cool:

paint job looks shmiko on the track, and that balaclarva makes you look very stig like.

Yer just noticed that as well, need to get that looked at. That corner although its doesnt look like it it has about 18 degree of banking have not seen a pic of that corner before, little surprised that the suspension is compressed that far.

  • 2 weeks later...

heres mine!

spec wise: its got the normal gear power wise 350hp @ 16psi, i've been more focus on suspension and brakes ---> 90% of my suspension arm have been replace with nismo items, got nismo swaybar F&R, aftermarket tierods and castor rods, current has d2 coilovers but waiting for my TEIN RA-spec to arrived (damper and rebound adjustable with 10kg spring rate F&R)... my clutch has just failed so twin plate is on the way, ohh yeah running ap caliper up the front with larger disc.

im pretty much happy with the car atm, just need an lsd and it will be perfect

nothing too special atm, as it was a daily driver but i have since got a nice daily which cost me $20 a week in fuel :thumbsup: so its getting the full track treatment in the near future... cage, stripped inside etc etc

Edited by [Michael]

Ok, so it's not mine, but Jason the owner and I built it, and I get to sit in the silly side :/ No pics of the engine out/suspension etc unfortunately. It's just built to CAMS Tarmac specs. But we wanted a stereo and the aircon still :D

    • 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.
