it looks really nice in Red...nice photos mate. did it look agile around the circuit or still too heavy?

it looked and sounded great on the circuit. very stable, not much roll at all, so if you just saw it humming around a circuit you would not know how heavy it is. looked very sharp on change of direction under the dunlop bridge too.

maj, flappy paddle looks and sounds awesome. superfast shifts with just a mili second of rev cut as it bangs up through the box. i think the DSG will be awesome. a friend in japan has driven one and he loved it. :P

Interesting how everyone that has not seen the car in the flesh or driven it has an opinion on how shitty the dsg gearbox is. The car looked very capable around the track and as far as i could tell the dsg seemed awsome seemless shifts so much so that you could hardly tell that it was shifting. And i doubt that the weight will be an issue as it was lapping at a good pace for a standard car around a very tight and tricky circuit ( Mark will attest to how tricky this circuit actually is as i dont think gran turismo can give an accurate grasp on some very technical parts of the circuit) . I think once the modified examples are unveiled they will silance all critics

No not yet mate still cruising around japan will be home in a few days. Will give you a call when i get home and will catch up for a few beers and a review of some of the pics and footage from the trip. Amazing how quick things get around the net posted the info about the chat i had with the mines engineer at tsukuba and just saw the new thread witha link to GTR blog and it seems they have picked up on it along with a few of the Barons pics. You would think they could come up with a scoop of there own hey just wondering if i can get some sort of commision now lol.

hey darren, you home yet???

lol, they used my pics with permision :P and I had the shame chat with a mines man and nikurra-san, and they gave out the list of parts available. so he may have been referring to me, though I think you definitely posted first so maybe they just repeated your info. but if you can get paid for it, put me next in line! beer baron is not too proud to accept charity!

LOL was just having a dig as it seems that they have copied my post word for word. But in saying that I am not adverse to accepting some form of payment if it happens to come my way. Was i bit of a shame i did not get to meet you over there as i am sure we probably unknowingly walked past each other on several occasions.

    • 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.
    • 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.
