spose i shall have my say in regards to the previous argument, re: discussions on the sa forum.

im going to direct the moderators to this; the WA wasteland.

im glad the moderators are more active in keeping the garbage out of the SA section, but one of the rather charming things about our humble little forum was the occasional random/non-car related thread, which we had a few of. so im thinking a dedicated wasteland sub forum like in WA would be good for us, sure its more work, but im sure someone would be more than happy to put their hand up to moderate the 'wasteland' sub forum, hell, id even raise my hand.

sure, we're all crazy car loving lunatics, but we do occasionally enjoy things that are non car related and want to share these thoughts with other SA members, but with the crackdown in the main section, none feel 'safe' to do this anymore.

(yes, my post is a little disjointed, i just finished work.)

Dave, like Dale & Ben, you also make a good point. As I said to Dale, it's something that you would have to put to Christian (Prank) and get his thoughts on it.

And yes, as you and Dale have stated, we would definitely need another couple of Mods........any suggestions as to who is capable of diplomacy yet not backward in using a stick when warranted?! :(

EDIT

Good for you. Do it. Do it your way. Too many people are scared to fail and will never be adventurous.

When I built my supercharged SR20DE 200B, I had everyone in the "industry" telling me it couldn't be done ... two fold: can't fit an SR20 in a 200B and can't supercharge it. I love proving people wrong. I drove that car around for 2 years before I sold it, as it was, registered and inspected with the SR20De superhcarged.

I got the same reaction when I built my CA18DET vg30BB powered 1600 wagon, 13B powered Bluebird, and T25 turboed CBR1000 drag bike. All 4 times, proven them wrong and been happy with doing it my way.

I came to the conclusion long ago that there are sheep out there with no idea ... they only want you to do things their way. f**k it ... do it your way.

:(

I vote for damo since hes the biggest post whore and knows how to treat a lady

Muahahahaha

I nearly said something yesterday in Damo's defence (and I know that it's all said with a tongue in cheek manner) but I bit my lip.

If SAU had more members like him (and I'm coming purely from a Mod's perspective), this place would be alot more enjoyable and less stressfull for all of us.

9 times out of 10 he stays on topic (having said that, we all stray), he doesn't go out of his way to be a smartass or stir the hornet's nest (unlike a couple I could mention) and yet with his enormous post count I don't recall ever having the need to steer him straight over any issue. :(

if there was to be a "wasteland" or "wasteland-styled" sub forum, id be happy to moderate that section. The other sections are being well moderated at the moment.

I don't have high hopes for a wasteland sub forum, seeing as we were declined a for sale sub forum a while back.

Yeah cost most of his post whoring are in wasteland which doesnt need modding anyhow ;D

Dunno how u managed 3000 extra posts than me damo, esp since u joined a year after me lols...

but srsly he'd be a good mod for any wasteland forum.

$0.02

cara just dont put the super charger on and then decide turbo after or ill kill you :( decide n live with it

sorry for those that have done it but i think its a bit lame buying a n/a car and putting a turbo on it when they have a turbo model, why modify it when you can go out and buy the same damn thing for prob cheaper & more often better. the only time i would accept a fake as being kinda cool is the shelby cobra kit car, because lets face it who the f can afford the real 1 and then have the balls to risk damaging it on the race track

^^ valid point and 1 i would reccomend aswell normally but i think cara more into being different than trying to shave seconds off lap times n bang for buck

Different yet f*cking so much more expensive for what you'll achieve with half the price if you ran a turbo. I'd sure hope Cara has deep wallets. It's like my mate, he want's to put a RB26 into a Supra and then make it have the GTR's 4WD system... and I said "Why?!" it's just so expensive.

But that's a whole other thread...

It just makes me think of all these people who have endless wallets who decide to go down the show car path, and modify the shit out the car (LCD's in the engine bay, etc) but to achieve what? A trophy? Play table tennis and you'll get a trophy.

i can get to organise a gokarting thingo damo

love organising these things

ummm i was thinking endurance style race or

we could do 2-3 lots of 12 driver grid individual races.....extreme gp is like 95 laps for $70

thats a individual style race..where you rack up points and winner gets a trohpy

so common people some advice!!!

Speaking of Go Karting, anyone been to Greenhills lately?

Yes I'm 21, but I only went there a few months ago lol.

The go karts there are beyond slow. You can walk faster than them. So me and my mates were just clipping each others tires and ramming into each other, because when they're that slow, why even bother racing?

We got kicked off pretty quickly.

Man, Greenhills used to be awesome with the BMX bikes and stuff. And then the big bad Insurance company came in.

And here's my "Holy Shit that's a pretty decent car that Uncle Daniel would love to have in his shed" links for the day:

A what?! http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/modul...hp?StockID=4727

Love the Cosmo: http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/modul...hp?StockID=4719

yeah i think have tohe go-kart format the same as the last one, 2 drivers per car endurance race, changing every 15 or so laps or whatever it was.

Ok then i will get to organising it

i will try and work out a good little deal for us all...

and just a word of caution it will be organised at richmond kartmania

and the boys dont like when people are crashing and bashing their karts...

if you are deliberatly seen doing that they will kick you off their karts

    • 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.
