Congratulations to the organizers and everyone else involved in the running of this event, was an awesome and entertaining day.

Had a blast driving my car around the track, just wish i had gone back out again to try and beat 1.30, but now i have a starting point and can work towards beating the next milestone. Thank you to SAU:SA for awarding me with "Consistent Driver of the Day", totally wasn't expecting it.

Thankfully the day went along smoothly and the weather stayed fine, and no one had any major issues (having a crash).

I will definitely be going along next SAU:SA Grip Day.

hi I'm jess I was with Shane on monday. Despite a 4:30am start (ouch) I Thought it was a great day and was nice to meet some new people, compared to some other track days I've been to you seem like a great bunch of people, very chilled out and welcoming. I will have my r34 out at the next day for sure. Thanks, Jess

Ps - thanks to the guy who let me borrow his helmet, appreciated :D

Who's car you get to go out in?

yes I was very very lucky, totaly didn't expect that. But it was just to give me a idea about what to expect when I head out next time

And poor Shanes been listening to me winge about not getting on track at lala yet for years lol so it was appreciated

hahaha it wasn't predominantly a passenger track day but Shane would of got special permission to take Jess out

Shane also has a current L2S CAMS license (not the recreational license issued on the day) which would have gotten him some brownie points with the CAMS reps on the day.

:yes:

Just another reason why it makes cents ($) to join SAUSA ;)

Was very exciting watching you guys out there. Glad i could help out where i could on ppls cars. Big congrats to the SAU-SA committee for organizing a well maintained event :yes:

Think i might need to make my car a full track car now. Cant wait to join you guys out next time.

Thanks Sled, I am real keen to catch up & watch some video of my GTR.

As far as I know, Prestige Walkerville sold the first 2 or 3 R33 GTRs that

were imported into Adelaide. The first was my Street GTR which was

purchased by Doug Dinan back in 1998 ( I bought it off him in 2001)

& now my mate Mike Fox owns it ( He will bring it out on the next track day)

The next was another silver R33 in 1999 that got written off hard core on

GJ road in 2002. Then my Race R33 which was a total stocker down to the

original tyres. Of course since then they started coming in by the boatload

but back in the day they were a quite rare & very expensive car & thats why

Prestige dabbled with a few clean low kay examples before all the little car

yards jumped on the bandwagon.

Just doing 2 sessions in my R35 & pulling a few 16s was enough to write off

my Bridgestones (although they werent in the best shape to start with!)

Mallala is VERY hard on tyres.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • 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.
