What a day.

Well the ankle held up ok... much better than my tyres.

Had a ball, got to drive a type R integra and also passenge in a 205 GTI.

Had some fun in my car, believe that pete has some footage of this. Played fun and games with a "It is you job to pass me, why should I move over for you" VS/VX? SS crummy dore with SUE number plates... what a typical crummy dore driver. aparently he lives in the mountains too... hmmm

Did some nice laps early, HOW PACKED was group C. I think I overtook 2 cars a minute in the first session... was good though.

Had a ball all day... but wasn't it long, went home and had one more beer... which took ages to drink and fell asleep.

Good to meet all the newby's, all were great people and I hope to see you all again. As for the crazy regulars, a pleasure to spread rubber with you as always.

Untill the next day,

Drive carefully, don't speed, and protect your rubber... you'll need next time!!!

Dan.

Hey Julian, I know u miss the UK flavour in cars but ur not allowed to have the MKI bit in ur profile......its a gts-t "series I" mate........i'm the only one here who can make reference to "MKI" ......hehehhehe jk!!!!

Sorted I've sold the MK I and got a Series I now :D

Yeah was a really fun day. It was nice meeting some of you guys, damn there were alot of skylines out there : ) Hats off to the guy with the cam corder mounted in the rear. Im definately gonna try something similar for the next track day. Mebbe even one in the foot well. HAerhae.

Look forward to driving with u guys again. Provided i have rubber for the s15 to sit on : )

Anyone got any pics to post? lap times?

Whilst dumping my video 8 down to VCR, i timed some of my laps. My best was a high 2.01. Im wrapped considering i run std boost.

No doubt Eastern rewards good suspension more than Wakefield.

Took the turbo off Friday night, the noise was a blown exhaust housing gasket. $50.00 gasket later back on the road without the Kombi exhaust note.

Errrr... are you kidding? Wakefield is a much more suspension oriented track than Eastern Creek...

EC is a more big HP track... Wider turns, the straight is double the length of Wakefield's straight...

Yeh maybe, but Wakefiled is very stop go with two fast corners that are over before they started, (about 70 degree turns).

I was thinking Eastern with its high speed sweepers and third gear corners that my car suited it a little better.

I agree that with big HP you are going to be a lot quicker, but at Wakefield i struggle to be 1.5 seconds quicker than a friends 200sx which is quicker in a straight line, but at Eastern i simply drove away from him.

Food for thought anyway, the end result is its finally time for some extra hp

Hey guys, these two tracks are two different circuits. many people will have differen ideas on which is better with what set-up and so on. this is only gonna start a huge argument.

My surgestion. drive at both and then decide for yourself what feels right.

Hmmmm... Okay... The 200SX handles a whole lot better than an R33 Skyline, both having equal amounts of work done to the handling...

So the your skyline eats the 200SX for breakfast on EC, but is hardly any quicker at Wakefield?

Doesn't that suggest that the 200SX's superior handling and suspension is more beneficial at Wakefield?

Majanal... I'm not arguing here, just having a friendly discussion on how different setups benefit on different tracks...

Afterall... Arguing is like the Special Olympics... Even if you win you're still retarted :cool: (Admins can feel free to edit that out if they feel the need :D)

Not arguing either, but one of the benefits of these types of days is to see where others cars are strong, and where yours is lacking.

My friends 200SX has King Springs, with Koni Rear shocks (Rear only). It has exhaust filter, clutch and boost.

My car an R32, has a complete Whitleine susp kit with cat back exhaust and filter, clutch & flywheel, good pads and fluid.

In a straight line his car boosts quicker and is comfortably quicker than my car. No 180km/h speed limiter either.

The fact that during acceleration and top end his car is quicker, but my car handles and stops a little bit better suggests that at EC my car works better than his, and at Wakefield his car is almost as quick (his hp advantage brings him closer)?????

At the end of the day neither of our cars are that special, but we make do with what is available to us.

    • 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.
