Hi,

For those of you who have been to a few track days, you'll know that it’s pretty much the best fun you can have in a car.

I enjoyed the Skyline days so much that I've signed up for a real racing series, the MoPro Cup.

Unfortunately, I'm not racing a Skyline. Instead the series is for identical Daewoo Lanos (or should that be Lanii?), and we've just finished the first round at Oran Park. As all the cars are identical, results come down to driver ability, and this creates incredibly close racing.

The reason I am posting this is that I'm looking for assistance in the form of sponsorship for the series.

The cost of this sponsorship is $200 per round, that's just $1000 for the rest of the series.

Your $1000 will get you:

* Coverage on my car for the next 5 rounds.

* My support of your product whenever possible (eg. after race speeches, distributing information at races, racing apparel and any other opportunities you can think of)

* Free entry to the remaining 5 rounds (the next round is Eastern Creek on 22-23 June)

* 100% tax deductibility for your company (claim it on your next BAS!)

* Hot laps at Sponsor drive days (the first is next Saturday, 25th May at Oran Park)

Of course, we are willing to discuss other packages, dependent on your business's budget.

Specific opportunities

* If you sell import cars, the crowds and competitors at these events are (not surprisingly) interested in performance cars. I saw 2x Skylines, 2x 180SXs, and a 22B WRX among the crowds (not to mention the Pulsar GTI-Rs, FTOs, Familias and WRXs racing in various groups.)

* If you have a performance or motoring related business, the spectators are obviously interested in performance parts or services.

* If you have a unique business product this is a unique way to market it at a reasonable price!

If you are interested in this opportunity, please contact me via [email protected].

As long as we have an agreement in place by Friday (24/5), you are welcome to attend the day at Oran Park next Saturday to see first hand how fast and close these cars really are. If not, there will be future hot lap opportunities, and of course the other coverage as described above.

I would also appreciate you passing this opportunity to any other potential business owners you know who love their cars and motor sport. Long term, I'd like to be racing a Nissan, and this is really a stepping stone towards that goal.

Thanks for your support,

Duncan Handley,

Future GTP Champion in a Nissan!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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.
