What an event - I had an awesome time - Should be on Speedweek soon and now I understand what Michele means when she says that somehow IQ drops to -10 once a camera and microphone is stuck in your face.

The picture in picture is incar footage from the EVO car number 455 which you catch a glimpse of at around turn three (orange wheels)

Words cannot describe the fun I had :P:wave::D

My best time on the day was 1.44, so starting to sort the car out.

The problem was with the 4wd, there wasn't any... fixed now, but still needs a lot of tweaking as to how/when the 4wd comes in. A company I wont mention on here, who NO LONGER has stickers on my car because they REFUSED to tell us how THEY had 'changed' the way 4wd was working on this car, unless I took it to their friend in Sydney and got their friend to phone them when it was on the dyno. Fortunately, his friend in Sydney is better than that and it didn't need to get on the dyno to fix the problem. I eventually found the main problem after wasting a lot of unnessessary time... it needed a fuse in the bastardised system they had put into it to run 4wd. So I intend to upgrade the system that is running the 4wd so its 1) not constant 2) varies to degree of cornering and pressures. At the moment, its like having a switch on your dash, either ON or OFF, not the best setup at all, but fixable.

You think you messed yourself now? Wait until you do it... and this is one event you could do, come around and see me for more details on how you enter and see the footage of when I pulled into the garage, then you will know how much fun it was lmao

Looks like great fun. 1st in class?? who didn't you overtake.

I didn't overtake the Mosler MT900RGT3... but then... he didn't overtake me either in the handicap, he was right behind me for over a lap, I thought for sure he would take me LOL I was pretty chuffed when he didn't get me.

That's not a car behind you, it a space fighter :P

I don't want to do the bonnet pins look for my car, but I'd love to get into a race like this. Upgrades are approved, so in a few months I'll be getting some track based suspension. Still will need the real engine upgrades to keep it 100% safe for the motor.

Guess I could already buy a car with suspension and engine work.

why would they have it setup for RWD?

well my cage from bonds should be here today and apart from some small things (tow points, new harness etc) i should be getting it log booked soon :(

i'll pop by today if thats ok, i want to talk to Michelle about BLCC sprint in dec.

They didn't set it up for rwd, the fuse went in the system they put in to manage 4wd, just took me a while to find it.

Give Michele a call, I know she was trying to get you to let you know it was open. We are camping at Mcphilamy Park again.

    • 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.
