Lol turn 1 and the last turn at PI definitely is a highlight :D ...but I'd have to rate the corner going over Lukie heights as a bit of a fav.....left hander over a crest. As you go over the crest you feel the whole car unweight and it just drifts over to the right....you have to steer back onto the left hand side of the road and break hard for the 2nd gear tight right hander.

over the crest on the long wang! haha (Vic guys will know what I'm on about)... so much fun

seriously tho, turn 1 at PI scared me, but but turn 2 is far more technical and harder to perfect... turn 1 is more like dab the brakes, grow some balls, tip it in and hold on... turn 2 and a couple of the others I'm not sure where to apex so I find much harder to go fast through

long wang is always fun, I like the short wang though when you come out of the left hander, get on the gas, get a bit taily and up that "jump/hump" part!! awesome!!

The texi at sutton road with the big dipper and going over the little jump and having your stomach go from normal to up in your throat is awesome!! lol

flip flop at OP is pretty good. you know you have done the last 2 corners well if you are going fast enough that you want to lift off. plus there is so much road there now. track/ripple strip/concrete/more concrete/dirt. the only part you really dont want tyres on is the ripple strip. other than that just pick a line, hold the throttle flat and enjoy. it hammers the underside and suspension a bit though. :D

love coming off the bridge too. lots of track there to use also, but it's very dirty if you get too wide too early. apart from that it's a great corner.

4 and 5 at eastern creek is pretty good. you come down into 4 off the hill and it's one of those corners that can actually be taken pretty rapidly. then you need to be instantly back on the right side to turn in for 5.

turn 1 at eastern creek is good for the odd brown moment too but so many people I know have stuck it into the wall there with nasty results that kind of takes the fun out a bit. wish they would move that inside wall as it's very close to the track and claims many a fine car.

at wakefield I quite like the turn coming onto the back straight. can be tricky to time just right and is pretty important for a run down the back straight towards the last turn onto the front straight.

I going to assume you are refering to PS games.

More like watching F1 and Champcar, but when I posted it I didn't quite read through teh thread...

So yeah.. +1 for teh n00b...

Hayshed at PI scares me since I can't do it flat anymore. But getting through that and coming over the top of Lukies is super.

3-5 at Wakefield is heaps of fun - so is the esses into sweeper at Barbagallo.

And coming over the hill at DECA is crazy in my car - especially if there is no chicane there!

And finally - the time we got to do the Thunderdome @ Calder as part of the GP Circuit was completely crazy.

I can't make up my mid;

Kink before the chase on Conrod at 275+ kph, flat out, no lift off, that's exhilarating

OR

McPhillamy, it's blind. so you turn in from memory

Cheers

Gary

Fish hook in the wet is "fun" :(

What times were you doing Brad?

Going to the SSCC sprint march 2? Its my bday so I doubt I'll make it :D

South circuit was consiatanly doing 47's on sunday with a borrowed timer, but its got alot more in it once I sort out the suspension issue. Straight line speed was phenominal. Just felt like a drift car through a couple of turns.

Yeah im taking it back to oran park on sunday this week for a GP day to get suspension hopefully sorted.

Back on dyno the week after for some more boost.

Then wakefield on the 23rd for our circuit day

And with any luck ill have everything iorned out for the begining of the series in march.

flip flop at OP is pretty good. you know you have done the last 2 corners well if you are going fast enough that you want to lift off.

Totally agree. you question yourself and think should I shouldnt I then change your mind twice before holding it down hard!

    • 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.
