I'm all ready, my main issue was last night I realised that I must have left my lock nut key down at DECA last month. Bit of handy work this arvo got the suckers off. All set to go now. Should be fun, now all I got to do is not sleep through my alarm.

See you there,

Brendan.

Dan, send me a message in the morning when you are heading to the freeway. Hope you get them brakes sorted.

Are CAMS approved cages needed for the Championship days at Winton?

Winton is AASA AFAIK. Rules are much more sane.

Was supposed to drive up with some of the Driftline boys, but will ahve to give it a miss as I have work :P Good luck lads.

Great day, I had heaps of fun. Russ, I hope you didn't do too much damage. Did anyone catch the website address for the photographer who was there? They mentioned it at the drivers briefing.

Brendan.

Yeah smashed up my car. Oh well it's the price for having a heap of fun. I was getting very confident in the arvo and that's when I made the mistake. Should have some photo's up sometime soon. Campbell???

I had a great day though. A bit of work ahead now...

It sucked driving home with only NA power with a low compression engine. Cooler was smashed so we just pluged the air flow meter into the intake with no turbo in the loop. Turbo was spinning free the whole way home.

Now can I get it back for the winton WRX round and drift weekend 18/19 July???

I hada great day and learned a lot about the car (this was the first time I've hit the track in the car since I bought it two months ago and changed all the suspension and brakes).

As it was my first time drifting (Drift Virgin) so I spent as much time going backwards as sideways but I still had a ball. I changed the suspension setup over lunch and found it worked much better and also started taking every corner in 3rd as I found that easier.

Was nice to bring the car back home in one piece too ;D

While I can't say I'll be taking drifting up as a hobby (my car is more so being built for sprint type stuff) it was still an awesome day. Shame about the weather, some of my friends said being a spectator was a bit rough at times but I was nice and warm in the car, if not a little dizzy lol

Somehow I don't think I'm any threat for winning the shirt for most improved but maybe they should have a prize for the most spin outs? :(

Hope the damage isn't too expensive to fix Russ, hope to see you at the SAU Track day in July, I'm keen to head down for that as it's my birthday on the day so that means I'll just drive awesome lol

WTF, you bent the R32? I must have missed that, nothing too serious I hope?

Yeah hit the wall on the left just before the old turn one. My mate has pics. gotta get him to send em to me. It was in the arvo about 3:30ish.

Oh that sucks Russ! When you have a list of parts you need to do the fix, run it by us as we have all kinds of random stuff here and we're not that far away :)

Ill quote my wrap up from vdc and ns. Most of my rants dont apply to the guys i know from SAU but ill post it all the same.

Joe's web address is: http://www.jlphoto.com.au/

Give him a couple of days to get the pics up as i know he has 2000+ to sort through

Got a call at 1pm to say my car was fixed and tuned :P

236rwkw on 12psi with maxed out injectors :) Im very happy and hanging for next month :D Andrew and Benno did a great job on it yesterday and John and i are so relieved after a long month building the motor...

Ok guys and girls, my wrap up/slight rant/congratulations...

I can confirm there was 98 drivers entered on the day. How crazy is that! It took me 3 hours to get through about 90% of the entries. I was working like a machine but when drivers do not pre-enter or don't listen to me prior to the event when i say 'please go and apply/renew for AASA licenses prior to coming to enter your car' then that holds up the lines even longer.

I understand passengers are just as keen to get out there as the drivers but getting the drivers entered and on track is my #1 priority so i appreciated all the passengers that kept coming back to see if i was ready to see them :)

Rant/s:

One slightly bizarre thing i'd like to mention and stress is that a couple of the drivers i saw appeared to be under the influence of drugs. After talking to Winton officials about it last night, I'd like to point out that if i suspect any driver of being entered and under the influence of either drugs or alcohol, i will invite our lovely friends in blue down to do random checks.

Not only is it extremely dangerous to be trying to drift in that state, you could hurt yourself, someone else and as im the club mummy, ill mention ITS COMPLETELY ILLEGAL AND YOUR AASA/CAMS IS INVALID IF YOU HAVE AN ACCIDENT. Vic Drift is held liable for all drivers conditions at our event days and if i even suspect that a driver is under the influence, LOOK OUT!

Most drivers behaved themselves throughout the day. There were a few that continually disobeyed vic drift officials and as we know who you are, the board will be discussing this at our next board meeting and there may be consequences for your actions.

With so many drivers on track, there is no room for childish behavior. Its dangerous, embarrassing to the sport and slows down the day for the other drivers.

Drivers and passengers are NOT allowed to swap seats anywhere on the track they wish to do so. If you dont have an arm band on (driver or passenger) you are NOT allowed on the track.

If you do not have a roll cage, you are NOT allowed to have passengers! Only tutors in the beginners section are allowed in cars with no cages.

Alcohol in the pits is a NO NO! Yes i know some of you got caught yesterday and were told to leave. The board have also discussed paying security guards to attend events and mainly patrol the pit area. May i point out that you're not even suppose to be smoking in the pits!

Congrats/ thank you/s:

I'd like to congratulate about 95% of all the drivers entered on the day for such a fantastic turn out! It was awesome! Made me so jealous that my car wasn't there!

Big kudos to my fellow board members and volunteers on the day. We all worked out butts off and it paid off in the end. Thanks to our photographers and can't wait to see the pics in a couple of days!

Thank you to Winton Raceway crew, safety and the canteen for all their efforts.

See you all in July.. After you've pre-entered :P

p.s

Yoshi has some major points hes going to touch on so be prepared :)

Cool. Shame it was a day late! Although you'd wanna run it in a bit first.

Well I definitely need a front bar (I want a GTR bar), Reo bar, left headlight and left indicator.

Already got an intercooler on order and should be ok to get the piping sorted as well. Let me know if you have any of this stuff.

Awesome day!

Was the first time iv had a ride at a drift day and it was fantastic!

Russell you really did some good driving! We did a few awesome laps but then the unfortunate happened!

Oh well, at least we got it running turbo or not haha.

Time to get the slide hammer and porta power out! Might need a sledge hammer as well! jk

Saw really good driving from TETS (TITS on the day LOL), the silver 32, and the white 32 was really good too.

Best was the dude in the VL wagon! Unreal!

    • 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.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
