Zennon - nice concept i like it.. esp that first one.. But i wish the shutter speed was a tad slower.

yeah that would have been cool - but yeah - was hand held at 200mm while leaning over a fence while standing on another fence - so yeah - wasn't gonna happen :)

Did like nothing on the weekend and took almost no photo's, but did get a snap of this guy. Image has been flipped vertically as he was sitting on the roof.

I like it as it almost looks like he has this expression of the surprised face of msn messenger (similar to this one :))

edit: side view:

Nice one. Not using a tripod?

Should have put the front wheels on a slight angle to show em off ;)

yes i was using a tripod for this. does it not look like it?

I find my wide angle lens is crap in low light so needs a longer exposure as well as a flash to bring the detail up, or else it can come out soft.

thanks for the tip on the wheels :teehee: , I thought exactly the same thing when I viewed it on my comp lol. TBH I was just out trying new settings / methods and angles, didn't expect to be able to use any of the pics as the car was filthy, but to my suprise it didn't show up :D

Zennon some great shots there mate.

ugh I should have known you were using a tripod lol.. forgot about the whole chopped bonnet/engine hahah. There is a bit of blur in the pictures which is what made me think about it.. using a shutter release cable or just pressing the button to snap the photo? If your just pressing the button thats probably what it was from.

Yeah I always forget to check some of the basic things like which way the wheels are facing, what shaddows are on the car, whats poking up behind the car etc etc untill I get home and notice on the pc.. I find myself scanning all over the viewfinder when taking a photo more and more now though, it starts to become second nature.

Just keep trying and practicing thats what its all about :D

Cali if you want super sharp and you dont have a cable release/remote try using timer

Here are a few pix from the recent test n tune day at wanneroo

Hey Frankies back. The fifth photo is Frankie in his Supra. See www.speedeventseries.com (on the front page under video clips - Franks spin at Barbagallo) for the last time he was there.

This is some random stooge from Busso...... :P

Haha, well if were bringing stooges into it then ive got a pic of one right here :) (not my pick though)

and yes, Frankie is back and is on brand new 888's... while it looks like I will be persevering on whats left of my 55's at collie....

Yeah mine have about half a lap in them more than yours. So no rain dances between now & May, ok?

OK was on the way to gym today and i noticed i accidentally left the camera in the car. So out it came.. pulled over randomly at places on the way.

No tripod so yes i know some images arent level etc..

some images were taken from inside the car lol...

When i get more time i will do it properly.. but anyways some fun images :D

^ that last one.. wish i had a monopod!! Would have been hectic!! ahh well next time..

    • 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.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
