wont be at coomera but will try and cut you of at the pass......somewhere

No problem.

Now that the time is getting close, do those attending want to pm me their mobile numbers, and whether they are going to meet at Coomera/when they intend to meet up so we can get some coordination happening?

I will reply with my mobile#, so things can go smoothly...

Cheers,

Micah

Shaping up quite nicely! Whereis.com.au doesn't tell you what exit number you are taking! You won't be able to miss the HUUUUGE Dreamworld and BP signs, though! I'll edit and post the exit number shortly...

Did we get an exit number?

Anyone who is going got Bilsteins? Stock or Whiteline springs? Love to get a feel of them b4 I buy? Maybe someone might try my Teins and want to make a deal!?! Is someone going to post a list of confirmed participants and their cars - eg. S1/2 RS4 or RSV or RS4S and colour etc??? Someone needs to snap some pics too!

So.....

I will update as needed, but as it stands, anything more than 50% attendance will make this the largest Qld gathering so far... The more the merrier, people: let's make this a big one!

Do we have a 'time table' out lined? the day is almost upon us :)

Is it gather at 12 and leave Coomera at 1?

rough directions/route?

CB channel?

should we bring food or is the shops at the final stop?

Entertainment? Frizby etc.

Any one have a good camera/video camera?

I was never a scout, just like to be prepared :)

Working on that: sorry guys: no transport (overdue compliance plates!) means my fiance has had the car: recce run will be done today/tomorrow.

Ok: We will be leaving Coomera just after 1pm (unless everyone is there already), hence the 12-1pm meet time. The recce run will dictate which route we take: I need to check the condition of the roads after all this rain, but irrespective of which route we take, we intend to end up at Natural bridge, where there are a heap of picnic areas (no shops, but there is a cafe/general store nearby, if preferred): I will check the availability of bbqs on the recce run. One thing to remember is aeroguard: i can guarantee you'll need it, so stock up: due to the recent weather there are more mozzies than normal. Bring a ball/frizbee/whatever: there are some nice park-like areas.

As for cb channel: I am a novice in that area: if those who have them bring them, we can decide channel etc on the day, I guess.

I have yet to receive a heap of contact numbers/confirmation pms, so here's my number: 0413003013. If you're running late/not going to make it etc, give me a call.

That's all I have for now: I will post again when I have been for a drive!

Let me know if I've forgotten anything.

Cheers,

Micah

EDIT: I just checked BOM: at this stage, the weather is supposed to be fine on Sunday (keep those fingers crossed!).

Phew! I have driven for over 4 hours through the hinterland today! It is awesome: just the kind of roads our cars like: high speed sweepers, great tarmac....just lovely!

So, aside from getting a flat tyre and damaging one of my rims (ouch!), I have finalised the route!

From Coomera, we will head south on the Pac HWY to Oxenford, where we turn west and head inland, over Mt Nathan (sounds more mountainy than it actually is: all sweepers, no hairpins). Once at the end of mount Nathan road, we will turn south at the intersection (following signs to Natural Bridge and Murwillumbah), on a lovely piece of blacktop that will take us all the way to our final stop. In total, it's about 35-40km of nice scenery, and good touring roads.

Now, we have a choice at this stage: I have found a grerat little picnic area by the river which has heaps of seating, an undercover seating section, as well as 3 wood-fiire bbq's. There is anlso a large enough clearing to kick a ball around, etc: all very relaxing and pretty: if I can work out my phone, I'll post the snaps I took shortly. This park is imaginatively called Numinbah State Forest Park. Oh yeah, there is also plenty of parking!

I also have a contingency for if the park is too crowded/the weather turns foul, etc: If we pass the park, and drive a further kilometre, there is a cafe on the left hand side of the road, in Numinbah Valley Village. It is called the Valley View Cafe. In the interest of research, I felt obliged to lunch there with Peta today, and can confirm that their hamburgers, coffee and Carrot cake are well above par! On the plus side, they have PLENTY of undercover seating, and heaps of parking. I have confirmed that they are open on Sunday, also.

I think that about covers it. Natural Bridge is about 11km further south, but their picnic area is half dug up(there are only 2 tables in total), there is very little undercover area, only 1 bbq is working, and the arch itself is off limits due to a large crack. That, and the fact that there is no open area at all made me choose the Numinbah location.

The drive in should keep everyone entertained, as stated earlier. For those who would prefer a more 'spirited drive on the way back, ithere is a turnoff that takes you over Springbrook, ending up at Mudgeeraba/Robina (about 2km from my place), that is a very challenging drive, so if anyone feels the need to, I would be more than happy to join you!

Either way, it should be a great day. Like I have said before, the more the merrier: you know you'll have fun!

If I've forgotten anything, please feel free to let me know, and I'll sort it out.

I'll bring the little things like newspaper for the bbqs and toilet paper - that's all I can think of...

Sounds like a good plan.

Really hope I can work out my cars starting issue by then, otherwise i might be forced to set it on fire.......

Plus hit a cat on the freeway last night, put a nice crack in the front bar. HATE CATS!

Either way, come with us! It would be nice if everyone can bring their car, but it's still a good chance to check out everyone else's, and meet the guys you spend all this time chatting with, even without the 'correct' car.

    • 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.
