SAU First Official Event - Observation Trial - Sunday 14th September


Recommended Posts

Well, SAU NSW's first major event is happening on Sunday 14th September!

What the hell is it?

Basically its a cruise to a mystery location, then bbq at the destination, followed by SAU NSW's second quarterly meeting.

A HGE day out!

How will we find it?

We'll give you clues to find the destination. No, I don't mean like the shonky, poorly photocopied maps we've done in the past, you'll have to use your brains for this one.

As a result, you'll want more than one person per car, so they can look while you drive sedately and at the speed limit.

If you're afraid of thinking but still want to go to the SAU meeting, let us know and we'll give you directions straight to the destination

What will we get?

Well, a great BBQ lunch and day out for one.

Unfortunately, due to CAMs requirements this is not a "competitive" event. Of course, the person with the most points will still be showered in glory, going down in history as the winner of the first SAU event!

Who will come along?

Everyone!

The entrant will need to be a member of the club, (one per car), but anyone else is welcome to join in (friends, family, significant other, strangers, hitchikers, skanks, aliens, invisible friends, commodore lovers, anyone!)

This will be SAU's first official event, so it would be great to see a big turn out!

What will it cost us?

Entry fee is $10 per car if you pay before 5th September, $15 if you pay after. This includes lunch for all (non)competitors.

This event WILL be covered by CAMS public liability insurance.

When and Where is it?

Date: Sunday 14th September

Time: 9am for 10am Start.

Starting: Carpark 6c, off Australia Ave, Homebush Bay

Finishing: C'mon, I'm not giving it away that easily :D

I'm sure Dan will post the full document with details and entry form soon...

Please post here if you are coming along!

croatianr33, top excuse, very creative!

CS_180, you'll need to pm shell, I'm just organising the event, I'm not part of the secret committee!

And does this mean both of you are coming along? ;)

Well, we've completed the final details and entry form, they are posted here:

Entry Form

You will need to print the form and send with a cheque for $10 (if we receive it on or before 5/9) or $15 after.

Address to send entries is:

or just send a money order made out to Skylines Australia - NSW to the above address!

For those of you who don't mind going in to a bank here is another way to pay.

YOU MUST VISIT A BRANCH OF THE National Australia Bank TO PAY THIS WAY. Electronic funds tranfer for this event is not possible.

Go to a NAB branch and deposit the money into:

Skylines Australia NSW

BSB: 082 356

Acct: 54 639 3766

* If paying this way you MUST attach the deposit slip receipt to the entry form.

* The receipt MUST be stamped by the bank.

* If it is dated after 5/9/03 then it's $15.

* If any of the above are not done then your money will end up being a donation to the club, and not payment for the event, at the discretion of the Executive Committee. Without the receipt we can't trace the money.

Hope it helps those without a chequebook. :(

Cash on the day will be fine.

We did a heap of checking on the date, seems there's always something on, we'll have to leave supernats to the bogans this year!

    • 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.
