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.

    • 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.
