Hi all,

we can now advise that the inaugural Valvoline Bathurst Autofest is set down to take place on the weekend of March 17th and 18th 2012.

Forward planning is already in motion and this event is sure to excite motoring enthusiasts from around the country with many enquiries already inundating our office at this early stage.

Planned events will include; Go to Whoa, Showcar Masters on display within the main pit garages, Show N Shine, Motokana, Corkscrew, Parade Laps around the Mount Panorama circuit and of coarse everyone’s favourite the Burnout Comp.

Limited camping will be available for entrants and clubs attending, this event will only be operating one Campground only – the Paddock Campground, located behind the Pit Area and more on this will be release shortly along with Entry Forms and other event information.

Bathurst is a vibrant regional city located just a few short hour’s drive west of Sydney. Locals and visitors alike enjoy the best of country life with all the conveniences and facilities of modern living.

Set in a wonderful natural environment with warm summers, clear, crisp winters, occasional snowfalls and beautiful spring and autumn colours, Bathurst is one of the region’s most beautiful cities, offering a diversity of attractions, activities and facilities.

Historic sites and architecture, cultural facilities, the famous Mount Panorama motor racing circuit and the growing wine industry all contribute to making the city an appealing destination. Whether you’re in Bathurst for a day or a week you’ll find plenty to keep you entertained.

You will find wide range of accommodation from hotels and motels of all styles to intimate bed & breakfast and unique self contained establishments, while large groups may enjoy staying together in dormitories.

A great city to visit, a perfect place to stay.

Event updates will also be placed upon our website; www.autofest.com.au

Valvoline Springnats,November 25th to 27th 2011 and again held at Shepparton Victoria kicks off theSeries.

This famous event also seethe debut of the all new Showcar and Streetcar category's we have developed forthe Show N Shine segment of each of the series events.

Now that we finally haveindoor facilities at each City we visit this will be a major advantage forthose who wish to enter their Cars within the Show N Shine.

The Valvoline SpringnatsShow Hall is already starting to fill quickly and those wanting to be setupindoors are reminded to get their entry in shortly or risk missing out.

Also new at the Valvoline Springnatsin 2011 is the Just Car Insurance Jet Car display and demonstrations, thesehigh horsepower weapons are set to ignite all with their flame show and willalso be a highlight of the Saturday night activities.

The Friday Cruise andDisplay is on again from 11.45am till 2.15pm and those that would like to be apart of this event are requested to contact the office email:[email protected] to have an invitation sent to them. The FridayCruise and display will be run with the support from Shepparton Showme as wellas the Global Traffic Management company that ran this event in 2009 with muchsuccess, filling the City Mall to near capacity. Sunday morning will also see the Gasoline MagazineSupercruise through the streets of Shepparton.

Next up we are over to theMount Gambier Valvoline Autofest, South Australia on the all new date ofJanuary 28th and 29th 2012.

Team Extreme will againfeature at the Mount with a couple of new Team Members that will surprise manywith their weaponry and car skills.

The Just Car Magazine CarYard will be back at all of the Series events. For those entrants wanting tosell their ride, this is the place to be. Also featuring at all Series eventsis the rebuilt Silver Bullet Mustang of Perry Meka.

Mount Gambier will alsofeature the Trident Tyres Burnout Masters as well as the Cockys AutoPro Showcarand Streetcar Masters.

Then we are off to theMighty Mount Panorama Circuit at Bathurst NSW for the inaugural BathurstValvoline Autofest set down for March 17th and 18th 2012. With entry's andinterest in this event coming in from far and wide the 350 limit is going tofill quickly.

So if you're thinking ofentering you would be well advised to get your entry in sooner rather thanlater.

The Mount Panorama PitComplex will be the home for the Showcar Masters and an All New Burnout Pad isbeing laid just for us to play on so it will be an all out assault to see whowill be the inaugural "Kings" and "Queens" of the Mountain.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
