woooohah.

what a day. I had a good time and came up with some decent times. It was my first time at a timed event and the track was very tight and scary in places.

I was the one that came off the track and it was a fairly scary experience. on my previous run I did a 1.46 and it was a very tidy run.

Coming over the last crest downhill (just after the cone that was next to the oil) i started to oversteer i lifted off and got the car straight, but by then my front left was on gravel and it was all over :laugh: i was doing about 70k's. after that it was a 20 metre slide down dirt and a big scare.

no one was hurt and there was no damage to the car. I really think the course was too dangerous for first timers with hipo cars.

big thanks to the organizers. they did a good job and their efforts were greatly appreciated. it ws also really nice to meet such a good bunch of people.

I had a GREAT day and I thought that the back circut cas AWESOME!

My first run wasnt to bad - 1 minute 47.04 seconds, but I hit one cone.

The second was slower - 1 minute 50.02 seconds.

But my third run shot me right up into some of the fastest of the day with a 1 minute 43.08 seconds! Not bad for a little R32 Gtst running street tyres :)

Im stoked about my times, my car and by the whole day, big thanks to everyone involved!

EDIT: Yes I WAS faster than Michelle (LadyBytes) who was egging me on all day about being beaten by a girl :yucky:

Hi all! :)

Had a great time at Texi - my first time on a wet skidpan and I think I can safely claim the "queen of understeer" title!!! lol!

Was awesome to meet you all and put faces to names/user id's - you guys rock! Look forward to seeing you all at future events..... :yucky:

Congratulations :P

I think your time was awesome and a result of both skill and those awesome Federal tyres which made me very jealous on the day.

It impresses me that you aspired to be faster than a lady on the day. It really does go to show that us ladies are making our marks and it seems it did make you more determined :)

Also, I happen to have some fantastic video footage on my in car cam (as I returned from my lap and hadn't switched off yet) of you celebrating your score as you walked up to my car. Can you remember that little dance? The one which involved you grabbing at certain regions with both hands and thrusting? Its not on youtube YET!!!

Just wait til I get Federal 595's on the GTR - Although I'm in the GTR... I'm pretty certain your HP is up on mine, so I say its GAME ON at the SDMA Hillclimb on Sunday 30 September http://www.sdmahillclimb.com/ and I'm happy to risk a case of beer... even with your HP. Are you up for it?

Nah! honestly, you did really well out there, good work.

EDIT: You just may get me at the Hillclimb if you continue aspiring to drive like a woman :mellow:

well i just got see the footage bahahaha Mick is on fire ;) but what are the finger signals you are doing while dancing ???

They would be the fingers telling me his time on that last run... ONE : FOUR: THREE fingers

It should start a new trend I think...

^^ X3

Is the driver of the white R31 on here? I witnessed some insane corner entry's on the back track. He came up over the jump, sideways before the apex, and then linked the left hand sweeper. Mighty impressive

that was me, yeah it was alot of fun, i had a ball. out of the 3 runs on the back track i did, 2 of em i was just having fun drifting, after all its what my car is for, haha

im also pretty happy that the 1 grip lap i did i managed a 1:46, not bad for a 100rwkw NA RB30 and pretty crappy tyres. i dont know where that puts me in realation to everyone else, but im pretty impressed to be as quick as some of the faster skylines

the skidpan was a bit of fun, altho its a lot better with no cones. i wasnt trying to do good times on that just trying to drift as much as possible, so i did a 31 which wasnt particularly quick i dont think, but still a bit of fun.

im looking forward to the next one, and hopefully we can all get a few more runs, especially on the back track

DM

How good was it, I can't wait for the next one!!! I might bring the starlet out just for fun :dry::)

Congrats to everyone from the capital, cause I think we all did really well, showed them sydneysiders how to do it!!! Lets make sure we all do it again.

Even though I had an no passanger seat (costly wait) I should of got the camera in the car, I was really happy all day long with my times. Stiill about a second or two to catch but the 165/70 13 tyres weren't liking me much, and the rear brakes wouldn't stop locking, to little wait out back, made fore some interesting front wheel drifting though :)

Gotta do it again. Full stop!!!

    • 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
