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.

Hi, is this event still going ahead?

Hi, is this event still going ahead?

This is held by Eastern Creek, anyone with an L2S licence can rock up on the day to go fast! Chances of it falling over are minimal, but if you are paranoid just give them a ring (9672 1000)

I should be making an appearance around 1330 :P

i think he means is it still going ahead as in, is it still an open day

they recommend you check a couple of days in advance just to make sure it hasn't been canned.

I'll call tomorrow boys.

turned out to be a excellent day.

Not so much for the car though. The front right tyre delaminated just at the end of my last session so I had to drive home with the craziest vibration ever. Lumps of rubber falling off everywhere! I thpught about throwing on the limp-home but I just crawled home. Turbo is now making a funny noise :)

Thousands. It was pretty packed. Not many 100% hotlaps which was really the only downside. One minute I was being smoked by r35gtr's the next your trying to find your way around old school escorts with grumpy drivers who won't let you pass :)

Yeah it was packed because they had Australian GT cup practice on that day for the race meetings overs the weekend. Instead of having the usual CARS, BIKES and L2S sessions, they had:

1) OPEN WHEELERS,

2) CARS (ppl who have a race licence),

3) AUS GT CARS,

4) BIKES, and then,

5) L2S.

So very few sessions. I only did two full sessions and one 5 min one due to some one coming off and I struggled with tyre temps and grip throughout all of them. It was still pretty cool though, to watch Lambo's, vipers, porsches and Corvettes going around...

FloydWest, were u in the black r33 GTS-T with a carbon/vented bonnet?

yeah that was me.

I struggled with grip too. Came off twice at turn 4 and once coming out of turn 2.

Well, I blame grip - but it's most likely my terrible driving skills.

How many sessions did u do? I only remember being on the track with you for the 2nd last session of the day (i.e. the 3:10pm one, i didn't stay for the last one).

Is your car ok? You were saying that the turbo is making weird noises now?

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • 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.
