Hey, it's a long shot i know but does anyone on here own an Yamaha YZF R6 (05/06 or any year for that matter)? i would love to get a look at one - not a ride, i just want to measure the exhaust dimensions (so probably better if i visit you, measuing a hot exhaust could get painful). im sure i could find a 6pack for your help

and anyone got much experiance with bike mufflers? ruby? need to look into a cheap free flowing one (thats not a straight pipe as i need to be under 110 dBA)

thanks for any help in advance

I need an admin at the moment Ruby......

I'm starting up my own business on the side too. Business management consulting. $50 per hour (plus GST) to start until I build up a stronger client base.

I help out a few mates with their businesses after hours ... figured it was about time I got paid for my services (tho I do get beer for my worries). :ermm:

Got a few qualifications in business management, bookkeeping, accounting (inc MYOB and BillQuick), drafting (AutoCAD and Illustrator), design & construction management.

[end bragging] :P

This time of year alot of guys pack their bikes away for the winter. I know maybe one or two guys/girls with an R6, but which one do you want? Models from 2003-2005 are different to models from 2006-2009. Might even pay to "test ride" a used R6 from the dealer, whip around the corner before the exhaust heats up, and take your measurements that way?

Sorry, but "cheap" and "free flowing" and "under 110dBA" don't go together. I've always gotten the upper end exhaust systems for my bikes. Lately I can't go past Yoshimura pipes ... they also come with baffles, so you get that nice note, but still keeps it relatively quiet and free flowing. Its one or the other, but Yoshimura do a compromise very well.

Arrows are too loud and the packing burns out quickly.

Micron and M4 are porn ... but hell loud.

Akrapovic are porn too. Quieter than other makes at idle, but loud on mid-high revs.

Staintune are rubbish. I hate the look and the tin-type exhaust note. Tho they are quiet, they strangle performance.

Leo Vince are also excellent exhausts like Yoshimura! Had a full system on my race bike and it was awesome, but no baffle inserts.

I reckon a Yoshimura TRS (triangle shape) or RS3 (oval shape) with baffle insert (removable) is the way to go. The carbon muffler would absorb a small amount of the noise too at idle. Personally, I like the titanium one (as I have a full twin titanium system on my TLR. :ermm: But you'd be looking at $1300 for full system or around $700 for can only.

:P

Yerp. I go to UniSA city west, so my world is full of distractions lol. Worldsend Tavern FTW. Then I run into SAU members *cough JMW cough* and end up throwing my whole day out the window lol. Good times :P . Currently I'm procrastinating about doing a statistics essay, but don't worry I just went and got a Corona.

I’m at City West also as well as Mawson Lakes. Mawson is such a long way for me but at least it gives me a decent run in the 33 which makes the trip ok. Thankfully in second semester I’m only at City West and that’s good as I can just take a 20 minute train ride in. Stats essay :ermm: – sounds fun. I’m sure I’ll have to do that at some stage (i.e. next year). I’ve been working over the past 4 days on a user interfaces design plan drawing small sketches of mobile phone screens and using Visio to draw overly complicated flow charts. Your right, the UniSA City West campus has far too many distractions for a uni student. (not that I am complaining!) :)

what are you getting done krish? i need to get my seats fitted up too there the best playstation seats ever but i dont think they getting used to the full potential haha if me go down together or something might do a better price.

looking at getting a pair of 98 wrx seats and get them put in the 33....they are recaro's from memory and they are a lot better seats....

My guess is you are doing Computer Sciences or Engineering or something along those lines if you are going to those 2 campuses, my best mate was doing that, all the traveling nearly killed him (figuratively speaking).

Cheers ruby,

I dont actually know how to ride a road bike and dont intend on learning any time soon, we're actualy harvesting an R6 engine and using it in a "go cart" (think of something similar to formula ford), so lots of things need to be redesigned. i'm looking into the exhaust atm and because of its positioning/competition rules it needs to be drasticaly changed from stock. I was under the impression that the 05 and 06 engines were the same, but the purchase order went out today and we are getting an 05. I was going to head down to a bike shop if this fell through, but i'll cross that bridge when the time comes

As far as the muffler goes its not exactaly 110 dBA max its under particular test conditions that have a few loop holes like pointing the muffler tip up so that sound isn't directed at the mic, other competitors were using stock honda mufflers last year we just made one from scratch. In an attempt to reduce weight and get more air flow i'm looking into off the shelf/aftermarket/oem products that we could adapt... so perhaps the better question is, do you have an old muffler or 2 you want to sell cheap? =P

thanks again

anyone here good with electronics and know much about LEDs

tryin to work out how u compare the brightness of LEDs to incandescent globes. im making my own LED tail light replacements for the 4WD (not ricey altezza styles, basically removing the incandescent globe and having a panel of LEDs behind the factory lenses).

Using those LED Globes u can buy off the shelf is useless, they dont reflect right and are dull in my fittings. Want something that is bright in the day, but not stupid bright at night. The fittings im making will be more waterproof than my standard lights too :happy:

Yep – A double degree of Computer Science and Management. This will be my third year of doing the trip to out there. Takes me about an hour from where I live to Mawson one way. Love the days back in first year when I started at 9am and finished an hour later, then the next class was at 3pm for a couple of hours, then a bit of a break starting again at 6pm till 9pm. Awful!

I'm only looking to hire someone for data entry and basic Quickbooks book keeping as well as general admin duties, preferably with Excel knowledge and extremely accurate and conscientious. You might be a little over qualified :happy:

    • 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
