Just a quick question, i know others are keen to find out about this also..

Ive got an R32 Drift Car, its not heavily modded or anything but it has a few aftermarket parts etc.. its covered in sponsorship graphics and has the interior 3/4 the way stripped

It IS still licenced for the road but i was wondering if id be able to get a permit to drive it to get work done on it, to avoid trouble with the police, yellow sticker etc etc..

Could i tell the licencing center its un registered to obtain a permit? or would they be able to give me one even tho the car remains licenced?

Anyone know anything about this let me know, bcoz i need work done on friday and im unable to tow the car, and its not a heck of a drive either.. i really wanna keep my car rego'd!!

thanx

lol! what your asking doesn't make sense.

if the car is rego you can drive it, but then run the risk of getting a yellow.

other option is to hand in your plates. apply for B-Rego which is a race class rego that allows you to drive to and from events and workshops BUT the car can not be driven anytime and if your caught driving you lose your b-rego

quick question

say you get permits / b-rego ... unregistered car. ..... is it possible to get insurance?

i'm not 100% sure but i think permits, b-rego will be class as the normal 3rd party for personally injury. with regards to property, i would say you would need to look a specialize insurer that does race cars

Hey, if your car is still registered then you can drive it anywhere. Its only when the cops pull u over or you don't pay rego on it that its illegal o drive it on road.

So just drive it nicely on the road to the events or workshops and it will be fine. Then once u have yellow/no-rego then inquire about the permits

Dont risk it with no plates - super dumb idea.

B-Class if you still can, some guys on DriftWA use temporary movement permits (you can argue there is a workshop right next to Barbagallo, but I'm sure cops will argue the misuse of those permits), or just fork out and tow it - motor sport isnt cheap.

** As a method of moving an unregistered car - temporary movement permits.

No point having a track car registered, it'll get stickered either way.

this is not 100% correct.

my mate has a track spec ae86 full cage, strip out inside fix back seats. no front indicators.

he was pulled over coming back from the drift practice cop ask him about his car explain it was his track car just keeps the rego as its easier to move it events etc and has a daily. cop could see he was being honest and said no problem just take it straight home then. and he was on his way.

why have a track car rego, because its cheaper to drive to events then tow the car

Erm.. Might I ask,

Why do you not just get modification permits for everything you've done?

If borneos freaking mad-dog ceffy could still be driven around happily, why can't yours?

It's not hard to comply with regulations dude. the stuff you can't comply with - legal with mod permits. suspension, engine mods, body mods, all that shit.

strreeeeettt leeeegaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalll.

all well and good for your mate. not necessarily gonna happen in the same manner as this dude.

Yeah, with enough money, anything can be legally registered.

Borneo did have rego on his 31, but it was never on the road because it copped soo much attention. So even with nothing to worry about, you're still going to be pulling over frequently, so just buy a crumpledore with a towball and a trailer.

don't drive like a tool, only use the car to go to events or workshop and you limit the risk. why waste money making the car street legal if you only use it at the track waste of time and money, just take the risk and if/when the day comes that you do get a yellow hand in the plates, buy a trailer or look at b-rego

also my point about my mate was just because you drive it on the street doesn't mean you will get yellow etc

    • 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.
    • 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.
