Come on people... grow a pair and come and support the drivers who are braving the 39 degree heat in their hot cars + suits + hot sun that is summer drift at mallala (stupid heat wave....)

its this sat, and its a twilight event, so even if you rock uop at 5 when it starts to cool down a bit, it goes til 9pm, for the brave the action starts from midday.

Quite a few interstaters, new local cars, and new drivers will be at the event, malking it a little more exiting to watch. If you're coming and planning on watching, the heat is bareable providing you prepare for it, lots of sunscreen, bring a mini pool to sit in, a gazebo, an eskey full of cold drinks (no booze... i know it sucks but thats the rules) and your laughing... you can even brinng a wet and wild slide, and whatever like some have in the past lol!

joel, simon drifts as well as bob jane fit tyres. lol

so very good then, considering they do everything for me with tyres :domokun:

lol kye, i am the former spin king, think matty took over on that one when he started going out :yucky:

hopefully now with the wider rims and tyres on the rear, ill be able to get that rear grip ive been lacking to nail turn 2.... will wait and see.

considering ill be leaving for the track at 8:30, i think myself, flick and lukey (The Boat or HMAS on here, one of them lol) i think we will be by ourselves, lot of people tend to meet at the caltex along pt wakefield rd and go up from there.

tip for the day: i know its not easy but try and get the right line which enables you to put your front left wheel on the ripple strip, then ride it all the way around, this is the fastest line and also, due to the front lifting up, it puts more grip on the rear tyres, hence being faster :(

What can I say I am soft :) No way Im going there on a 40 degree day (with an engine that has been sold)

But I do wish you all well...

I might be able to go down after 7pm to see the final battles and say hi.

Tip for the Day#2: Drink LOTS of water!

Tip for the Day#3: Keep an eye on your temp gauges at ALL times!

Cheers

Ric

hey shaun, know you probly havnt had a chance but will ask anyway, any luck with those tie down straps you mentioned about at the dyno day?

Thanks for the tip simon, turn 2 has been a killer for me since i started drifting, very rarely nail it. Lets hope saturday is a different story.

    • 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.
