15-Mar-2008 $160.00 AUTOsports @ Wakefield Wakefield Park Raceway

I'd be keen to just pick the auto sports day in the future and book into that if I continue to have no success. Yes we could make maybe $2000 for the club if we ran it ourselves, but there's also the $500 loss possibility.

Hi everyone.

I'm Niko and I'm the vice president of the ACT Supra Club.

John has been keeping us updated on sf.com.au regarding this track day, so I thought I'd come on here and introduce myself.

The ACT Supra Club started last year in July with hopes of attracting 15 to 20 members. We have now just ticked over 30 members so things are progressing better than expected. Along with a few memebrs of the NSWSC that actually take their car to the track, I'm sure that we can contribute to the numbers required.

We have generated some interest on our forum regarding this event. A lot of our members are young but they are very keen to have a go at the track. I'm sure that more interest would be created once a date is set.

I mean more Supra drivers are sure to come just to shut you Skyline owners up :)

We are keen to get this up and running so let us know if we can help.

Welcome :banana:

Thats excellent Niko :D I think we can make a fun day out of this. How do your members feel if its a few more dollars but less cars i.e. more time on the track?

Haha... Nice...

Like we always say... The lack of 4WD and extra lag is just a courteous head start :D You think we are in your rear view mirror and then you realise we've overtaken and pulling away. It must be nice to have that 4WD 'training wheels' system though. :banana:

Open wheelers cant run with sedans... Its a saftey thing for us open Wheelers the big heavey fat sedan drivers tend not to see us going past them and run us down. Not nice having 1400kg on top of a 600kg or less openwheeler.

HAHAHAHAHA, If you need help beating a GTR, i will turn off my 4wd for you and with my rb26 starting to come on boost at 5.5 (10 psi) and on hard by 6 i am sure i will be just as laggy as you. (if not your turbo is just to big :banana: and you will flog us on the dyno day....) lol.

I want to go up agianst supras soooo Bad... I love them, hmmmm 2jz.

hahaha! gotta love the rivalry already! training wheels... love it!!! :laughing-smiley-014:

perhaps we should all make a payment of $165 to a trustworthy person, and get them to make a booking with payment on a friday later in the year, say in August or something similar, that way, we have our day booked, people have a crap load of time to get time off work and we've already paid for it. just a thought.....

I know a couple of these supra people, dyno we are going to lose, but at least one of these high horsepower supras cant drive it for shit and I mean FOR SHIT!! *cough* Danny *cough*

And ive heard a few stories, so it will be a different kettle on the track.

    • 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.
