Hey guys,

I have been asked to book a Driver Training day on the skidpan at the AHG Facility in Kewdale for you Stagea Folk!!

The training is held in a controlled environment on a skidpan with instructors. We have paid for two instructors so everyone gets more time training (otherwise a lot of time is lost while the instructor changes cars). I am unsure who the instructors will be at the moment, however i have done several of these days and recommend any of thier instructors.

You will do a variety of motor kahna style challenges, which aim to teach things like handling of your vehicle and braking.

HELMETS ARE REQUIRED!!!!

When - Sunday 30th March 2008

Time - 12pm SHARP - 4.30pm. Driver briefing is at 12pm so BE ON TIME!!

Cost - $75 per driver

Where - AHG Driver Training Facility. Grogan Road Perth International Airport

Please note this is primarily a Stagea only event. Places will go to Stageas first and if there are any left after a week, non-Stagea drivers will be offered the remaining spots.

There are only 16 spots available so please PM me if you wish to participate (please give me your full full name aswell) and I will put you on the list, and send you my bank account details - as you will need to pay within 7 days to confirm your spot. (First in first served basis sorry) If you wish to pay me by cash, PM me and ill tell you where i can be found during the day.

Your name will NOT be added to the attendees list unless you PM me, this means I won't be taking names down from people just posting in the thread.

Driver/Vehicle requirements

Long Sleeve top, long pants required

Helmet

Fully enclosed foot wear

Drivers Licence

Car to be registered with no safety defects

Seatbelts

All loose items removed from inside the vehicle

Road legal tyres (no slicks)

Common sense and a sense of humour.

I will be organising plenty of soft drink, water and snack.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. As i work during the day i will normally respond to PM's regarding this in the evenings (job etc to do during the day >_< )so if you dont get an instant reply, dont panic.

Lets get started!!!!

Cheers

Dibs on the first non-stagea spot!!!!!

Also, is this a skid pan only event, or will we be able to have a crack at the track as well?

And Brad - Sif you have work to do during the day >_<

ssshonky, yeah $75 per driver. Its a Stagea yeah? PM sent.

The helmet rule was past about 12 months ago that any body in any vehicle on the skid pans or track must have have a helmet. Insurance politics! Same rule for everyone noadays ;)

SENT A PM DALE SO LETS HAVE A GOOD DAY ARRIVE BACK FROM BALI THE NIGHT BEFORE BUT WHO CARES GIVING A STAG A GOOD OLD THRASIN IS WORTH MORE THAN SLEEP SO LETS GO !

I though general opinion was that Mitchy was allowed in because he has a 6cyl, AWD wagon? :P

Jippa, ya going to let him in? Its your event basically, so its your call mate.

Snapper, you will be driving a Stagea yeah? Just asking as this is a Stagea only event and i dont know alot of you guys LOL

Cheers

should be fine. meets most of the requirements

im in with my stagea, i'd be pretty sure it should be going fine at that time, what happens if its not running for some reason? can i use my other car if u cant get anyone else with a stagea in? its a mitsubishi gto so its not a piece of shit haha. Would i get a refund if i couldnt take the stagea and u find someone else to fill the spot with a stagea?

PM sent in about 2 min from now :P

Brad, ive made the spot for you. Hopefully you will be in Stagea. If not, and there is someone with a stagea waiting, we will work out the payment side of things between us as i dont usually do refunds...but exceptions are made of course! Should be no problem. However, if Jippa has no problem with it, id say bring out the other car.....but Stagea would be better :P

Yeah Brad

can you please post up an agenda.... or a link to what this all entails.

I put up another post in the (now) defunct thread.

I may have the answer now..... a set of std tyres and rims for the skidpan, then being wet won't matter so much..... but if we are using the track then won't we want maximum traction.... I'm confused!

('sOK I'll run the old std tyres....it wont matter as the laps aren't being timed).

Thanks

PM me payment details please.....

Both Iolanda & I will be turning up..... and taking turns driving.

This event utilises a SINGLE SKID PAN only! NOT the track.

realy, i was under the impression we were. how or can we get a go on the track? this was the main reason i was interested but am still happy with skid pan

The second line of my first post in this thred states its the "skidpan" that we use.

I am unaware of any training course that uses the track. The only way i am aware you can use the track is enter into the sprint round, or make a tuning day which is 2 hours, for 16 people. Track time does get limited.

    • 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.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
