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.

I have asked and i will get them for you but it just wont be for this saturday!!!! :thumbsup:

^^ You were there? Didnt see u! But then.. i was pretty out of it with the heat. U mustve seen us talking to her earlier in the day?

She use to work with luke, ive never met her before, but was talking with her a few times throughout the day, pretty nice cop, her and her partner she was with.

Yeh i was there with Ryan and Bek, left kinda while the presentations were happening!!

Nah i found out from her that she knew you guys, just bieng the nice guy i am, just talking to her about the day, and she said her friend was drifting the maroon skyline, and it clicked it was you and Luke!!

haha mini defect at lala, thats the first tym i have heard bout this lol

but seriously ppl are goin out there to watch n cops have to ruin the day dont they for sum

but congrats luke on linking turn 1 and 2, on ur third effort, looked good

Im glad the cops are there.. doing their job. Keeping alcohol out the pits etc.. saw them evict 2 young guys about 2ish who were already blind drunk. They warned them, and they wouldnt co-operate by giving their names so they got evicted.

They werent out there to 'ruin anyones day'.

Besides that, well done to all that competed.

Yeah I saw that too, there were a few drunk tools throwing beer bottles and such in the stands.

Didn't realised my brothers old housemate John Mc Cracken was a drifter until I saw his RX-7 on the track, not bad for old-school rotor power :)

I thought the best skids of the day were coming from the 31's and the old Rolla's :(

i am also glad the cops were there, dont need the place turning into a speedway city burnout comp with bogans and drunks everywhere. They did their job, defected 2 cars the whole day which is f*k all considering what they could have done, and kept people inline. Very hapy to see their presence in the pits too, keep alcohol and other random shit that shouldnt be going on in the pits out.

Have a read on the g1 threads on ns and you will see the cop with the moustache is now actually a registered member on there, he loves the sport and is actually wanting to help the drift community out, which is a first from a SAPOL member i reckon.

Thanks for the kind words from all though, new rims and tyres were hard to come to grips with lol as i just had too much rear grip now, hopefully counteract that with some more power for round 2 and should be all sweet :)

Oh and deluxe, my cop friend is a red head :nyaanyaa: unless she changed hair colour but i dont think i was out of it that much to miss that.

What? Not such thing as too much grip Luke! :( lol Was looking on NS for the results and couldnt see your name anywhere, it seemed quite strange, I even thought you didnt compete in the end.

Congrats to all that competed and braved the heat...Did anyone killed their engine on that heat?

Cheers

Ahhhhhhh tickety flamo.......... well it was dark, and i just assumed it was blonde, was just trying to be a nice guy so she didn't get her knickers in a knot with me!! :laughing-smiley-014:

lol, yeah I don't think Darren was looking at her hair Luke. :thumbsup:

Thats right Pete i was looking at her guns........ I mean gun!!

Is it eddie modra in the green sprinter? His new engine died before he even got to qualify!

think a few cars had gearbox issues, few overheating problems here and there also, but yeah only 1 dead engine

    • 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.
