Anyone Need To Be In Queensland Early Next Week?


Recommended Posts

Pffft. Haters :)

It's a gem of a car. About the only thing you can't do in 6th is roll off the line but it will pull away nicely from 50kmh cruising through small towns.

Now looking for the cash to get membership.....or hopefully James can call on me again.

And.....I didn't fill the tank but it needs detailing before next use anyway. Bugs vs RS4 = no contest. And auto wipers FTW!!

More detail to follow.

James, I can't tell you how much I appreciate the opportunity mate. I'll remember it for a long time.

lucky b#stard!!! would have been the best trip ever!

Oooh, I forgot to mention the blonde hitchikers. Actually didn't pick them up and barely avoided the rapidly reversing local built barge stopping for them but,....

Would be the perfect machine for that too, luggage and all.

now where's my finder's fee :nyaanyaa: heehee

lol @ Lunatikk.. nice find

Damn I'm so moving to QLD one of these days and working at Sanctuary Cove ;D

I don't know why J is still here, when he could be on the G/C AND work at the best place ever!!

James it was my pleasure and please call again anytime.

Feel free to use, edit and use, link to, or quote me on any of my comments or pictures as well. With your permission I will offer a more polished version to some magazines for possible publication with due credit and reference to your organisation.

Kaz, thanks for the heads up as well. I really enjoyed trying something different.

BTW, James cannot leave Melbourne. It wouldn't be the same without him, and by that I mean it wouldn't be any better. He is welcome to visit as often as he can.

James, just had a quick Q from a mate. Know anything amusing about this?

Has he heard about the Audi launch at Hamilton Island?

I'm not sure I got the full details...

Audi sent a few cars up there (R8??), and a few journos and interested buyers.

the first run, some guy takes off down the runway flat out...

was a small problem with the brakes (as in, they didn't work) - he left the end of the runway, but went down not up

not sure how true it is!

Thanks again for your help Geoff - great article too!

I'll be sure to call on you again :P

* and no, had not heard about that Audi mishap. Our R8 and the Ford GT are out at QLD Raceway today

Talk soon

J

    • 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.
