I was at the bridge and waved the yellow after you past by slowly!

You could hear the knocking quite clearly, I just thought damn, that ain't cool!

Aww, I feel special... All this flag waving from you and Chris...

I was very tempted to take it 4WD and cross country it, but didn't know what the infield would be like, so attempted to keep her off the racing line and out of everyone's way... :thumbsup:

Half thought of pulling over, but that would have just ruined the session for people. Motor was already f**ked by that stage...

Had to drive it up onto the car trailer this morning anyway... :thumbsup: Unfortunately leaving skylines over night doesn't make them self heal... :yes:

Ah well, it goes to the mechanic end of July... Then we'll work out what to do, but I'm thinking a cheap fix of another stock RB30 bottom end, and while that's getting murdered, having the other block fully built with a dry sump setup to prevent the age old oil surge from happening.

Was still a great day, and I can proudly walk away saying "I've driven Oran Park GP Circuit... And decimated a motor out there too" LOL

150KMs on that motor after run in... And who was the first person there to inspect how well I'd spun a bearing... Duncan... ;)

Awesome day and glad to see everyone enjoyed themselves... apart from the list of incidents and engine failures... oh yeah and that debarcle of driver briefing... lets not waist an hour of track time again like that!!!! Perhaps a slightly different arrangement can be thought out for future events... ie.. Quick usual 15 min talk for all peeps, then newbies stay behind for the full version, whilst the experience guys go out to get their first sessions done. By the time (30-45 minutes) the briefing is done for newbies, its their turn to get out on the track.... just my 2c....

To those peeps that i jumped in with, WELL BLOODY DONE!!! Really impressed with each and everyone of you! George, Charles, Andy & Ian (think that was it) I hope my ear bashing and dodgy lines provided a bit of assitance to the day!

Stu mate that car of yours is absolutely brilliant!! Was fun chasing it in the failvia and watching you constantly fight the thing for traction... congrats on its first outing and making it thru in one piece! Testiment to driver and builder!!

Failvia held up well and gave me some good practise for our next Round of SSCC!! ;)

Bring on the next one!!! Congrats to all that organised and helped out... the day was a great success!

Chris I was having a ball in the MX5 and I was a passenger so it's no wonder Ando was giggling in the driver's seat!!!

this day was such an awesome day and I can't wait for the next one (but sorry to those guys who have lost engines)

Ah Ben, i love that mentality, but spare a thought for those of us that used more than 4 litres of fuel on the day lol.

i had thirty in the tank for session 1 and added 20 every session, did 4 1/2 sessions and have 10 left at $1.80 a litre. give me a week brus.

screw work, OP GP tomorrow 8am who's in? :dry:

So pissed didnt take u out in the failvia George!! Next time for sure!

But yes all i cam say that wiggles MX5 is an absolute blast to drive! I cant wait for the next opportunity to play swapsies with Chubbeh!! :dry:

Currently trying to see if i can figure out this whole upload to you tube thing/... if i succeed i will post some vids :domokun:

Here's the vid on youtube:

First session group 3 only....

I need to get a camera mount and more 2 gig cards lol.

Thanks for uploading sean; shows you slaughtering my gts-t on the straight at 9:05... I might have held you off if i wasn't held up through all the twisties :dry:

    • 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.
    • 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.
