Hi All,

I know this one appears in the 2010 events list but I thought i'd put a thread up to remind everyone.

Eastern Creek Open Day - 28th May - It's a Friday

Cost os $125 or $95 for ADRC members. Must have an L2S licence or above. Gates open at 7, track opens at 9am and closes at 5pm.

To ensure quick sign on, fill out the form in this link and bring it with you. - http://www.eastern-creek-raceway.com/pdf/I..._Disclaimer.pdf

I would have loved to go but I can't make this day but let me know if anyone has any questions.

Liz.

Pfft just go lizzeh!

Just wondering if we are allowed passengers? I doubt it but I thought id ask..

I might go ahead and do this with a mate for shits and giggles.. I assume this is going to be busy as hell?

definitely no passengers, mate

I haven't been to one of these days in a few years... but I imagine they'd still be pretty busy! they're quite good in terms of the number of cars on the track at any one time.

If I were you, I'd go turn up about lunchtime as a fair few people either break down or pack up before the end of the day!

unfortunately, I've been taking a little too much time off work lately to take another day!! :)

nah, no timing... it's just an open day like wakie

but i believe they're a bit better about limiting the number of cars on the track at any one time. I don't even know anyone who's done one of these in the last year to be able to judge. I'll ask them when I call up to confirm the day if you like.

I did one last month and looking to get out to this one also, so have listed some points below

1) No passengers allowed

2) no timing but can setup your own timing equipment

3) the 28th May has three sessions: cars, ls2, bikes. LS2 (most of us) start at about 9:20am and sessions are for 20 mins.

4) Lunch break for an hour somewhere between 12:00 - 1:30pm

5) costs as mentioned by Liz. Can get a garage for an extra $25

6) gets pretty busy but this one might be quiet seeing it's straight after Superlap, but who knows?

7) I haven't seen a car limit per session yet. There was almost 40 cars in one LS2 session last time I was there!!

8) Some drivers are aggressive (yes even in LS2) so be careful.

Checkout the link recorded by someone on NS forum. The white s13 with the black rear wing at the start of the clip is mine!!!!

nah you'll have to Buy your own, you cant hire their's as they use dorian timers which means they need to hire staff for timing in the control tower! 9i.e. similar to a state round etc)

ebay has a few for sale, cheaper ones like the motorbike lap timers work well too!

I wont make it as I doubt my car will be ready :cool:

Chris, what's going on with your car???

I killed cylinder 4 last year :ninja: with the wedding etc this year I havent had a chance to get it fixed till now. Its at unigroup now, unsure how long she'll be though!

ah damn....so you going big rebuild or stock?

And back on topic..hope to see some guys from here out on the 28th at EC

Being that im a contractor and cant just 'take a sickie' the above is what worries me most as I dont want to lose a days pay just to find im held up or watching my mirrors the entire day because 30 other idiots are on the track.

yeah, fair enough... It does tend to get a lot quieter after lunch though as most ppl tend to do the morning sessions and then start packing up to leave around lunch time

    • 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.
    • 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.
