Watch a bit of the Bathurst 12 hour race, quite a good mix, Evos, STIs, Holdens Mazdas and BMW. Have to say, there are days when Evos really really piss me off because it's so bullshit fast around the corners but it's good to see them owning the holdens and european cars.

Where are all the GTRs????

omg did you see that Mazda MPS.. the blue Thrifty one.. loose it and flip?!?!! I counted 9 times, and the guy was just a bit unsteady on his feet but was fine!

The whole engine fell out! lol

< owch

Saw that the other day on some show. The last lap of his last race and that happened to him!! They said he spent 3 hours totally blind lying in hospital...what a way to end ya career!!!!

GTRs are in front of the evos but not invited because they have to be less than 5 years old :D

here's a pic from oran park last year :)

this was run a few weeks back and they showed the crash on sports tonight that night.

I thought it was funny a Satria GTi did more laps than a GT-P. Cubes aint everything.

you obviously weren't paying attention to the fact that the GT-P spent about an hour in the pits after the front seal on the diff let go and dumped all the oil out.

Just thought it was funny as i work in a dealership with both ford and proton. normally all the ford guys hang shit on the protons all day. Was good to see it the other way round for once. Falcon diffs are crap anyway.

      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.

      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.
