Recommended Posts

Yeah i only took pics for a few cars then got bored and i was hot so i just went and sat in the aircon in the car.

Miss 26 i think it says at the start of the thread how to pay if not this thread thread there is another one started by psi.

Ok, if you look at the start of the thread, you will see that the gympie crew days are now totally booked out.

That means all of next year is booked solid with spare cars on all days!

If you want to get into a skid day, PM NISSAN R33.. for the bundy day!

Other than that, become an SAU member and go with SAU!

Cheers

I will post up a full list of all skid days for next year as soon as i can get a copy off of Grant!

Then everybody will see who is in or out!

I'm changing the scoring on the time trial and shoot out. It will be interesting to see it in action.

Time trial:

1st 25 points

2nd 20 points

3rd 17

4th 15

5th 13

6th 10

7th 8

9th 4

10th 2

11th place or more gets 1 point

DNF 0 points.

Crash -2 points!

for the shoot out:

1st 11 points

2nd 7

3rd 5

4th 3

everybody else gets 1 point.

It is possible for 1 driver to be the fastest in both time trials and win the shoot out and win the max available 61 points.

Each time trial event will be allocated points. So, if u win the first time trial u will get 25 points, then u get 6th in the second round u will get another 10 points. Then if u come 3rd in the shoot out u will get another 5 points. That makes u a total of 40 points.

There is a prize for the highest points score of the day!

Your points will be acrewed over the year and the winner will get the piston trophy at the end of the year! The trophy Lars (Nissan-R33) just won!

Consistantcy will be the key.. Keep it smooth and tidy. Speed is fine, but accuaricy is final.

Like it?

There have been some shuffling of names.. Some things have changed. I will edit the 'list' post next week!

Don't fret, nobody has lost a spot!

If you spot an error, please pm me!

The list has just been updated and corrected.

Unfortunatly RoadCraft (the skid pan owners) have had to change 2 dates on me later in the year..

It appears the dates will only be moved foward or back 1 week. I will post up again when all is clear and who it will effect. But at this stage, only 2 dates late in the year are effected.

Mark, Warren and I went to the skid pan yesterday afternoon to do maintence

(we like to help when we can!)

while we were there, we discussed the next tech session..

The outcome is totally useless on the road.. but megga fun.

We will be learning how to do a controlled loose, 360 degree turn and drive out!

thoughts..

Anna u should have pm'ed me!

I just sold another 3 spots!

when people pull out, i fill the spots very quickly.. that said..

Kody is prolly very happy u didn't pm me! lol

If your not on the reserve list, u have no hope! However,

RevHead would be a good place to start if u want in on the SAU day :banana:

I think they will fill fast. If he doesn't, i have a VERY long list who will gladly jump in :P !

Dave: We do the skid days at Gympie. 2 hours north of Brizzy..

This is a clip from early 2006! This was in the morning to 'warm up'!

for any Q's, feel free to PM me. I will happily answer anything..

    • 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.
