Heya Guys,

Well i wasn't able to be there this year but who won what at the auto salon?

I know that ant one highest horsepower... NICE ONE!

but what other trophies and who won auto salon king?

Did GTNIK win anything? i still would rather that car than any girl on the planet... well except for denise richards..... her long brown hair, her seductive eyes, her sumptious bre..... Oh umm yeah sorry ummm who won what!!!??

YAY good to hear that GTNIK took home a few! i actually good video footage of GTNIK on the dyno.... well if ya can call it that on the 1st few runs..... unfortunately the piping kept on coming off.... would have gotten better footage but paul decided to kick me out of the fenced area so had to make do.....

on a more serious note it is good to see that Nik has gotten a few, i know that i am biased being a skyline lover and all but i really think he should have won king, i think shogun is nice but nothing compared to nIk....

Did James Mandy's SSS pulsar 'PULSSSAR' win best engine bay? that thing is a work of art...

Heya Guys,

Did you know shes married to charlie sheen... geez, she could do so much better than that :)

I have seen that cronic ute at a few shows now.. never really had a good look.... damn was hoping James would win best engine... i took enough bloody photos of it!

Yeah i know Rob she promised me she would be mine... she was meant to be mine that one night of magic we had together i will never forget... AHAHAH!! * i wish*

Show wasnt bad this year... decent variety, loads of eye candy as usual hehe... some good displays!

I took Best Engine bay for "expert" class... also titled "Look what he's done to the engine bay".

Adam's ute is awesome. He easily took enough points to make it into PRO class, winning Top Judged Engine Bay, Undercarriage, and best holden (exactly the same as what Graham's GTS Commodore won last year).

Because I dont have any other features on my car (interior, undercarriage, paint, body work, wank, rice, blah blah ) I dont accumulate enough points to go to "PRO" class.

The Autosalon is based on a points system. I went to some "entrant meeting" on saturday night, with about 15 other entrants, the judges and organisers discuss things like how to win, including gaining points in certain area's, and so on... (read, marketing)... heh.

Things like, you can increase your chances as king of autosalon by going on the dyno, by doing an SPL run, etc.

They go on to discuss things like, instead of working your car in one area, work it in several areas to gain points in each area, to greaten your chances of winning.

It's good, because it encourages people to build complete cars.... (and there certainly were a few)

The Chronic ute deserves pro class, it's modified in many areas! Adam is a top guy too :D

I'm pretty happy that I got what I did... I've put way too much time and money into the car, it's time to start enjoying it (read, thrashing it's tits off)... haha

should b at drag combat if it's all run-in :)

hope ya liked the show!

had the shogun car been changed much since last year? sounds like it was the same cars as PAS, and as cabin last year...?

He'd added airbag suspension and gull wing doors.. I had a close look at the hinge arrangements on the doors.. looks pretty easy to do.. just a bit of adjustment required to make it line up...

hmmm....

i think shogun has had some new stuff done to it

did it always have the hydraulics? and those scissor doors? does any1 know how much power he pulled?

anyway i think he deserved it not really the car i woulda picked but he defineatly drew the crowds with his whole display

i was dissapointed J2J wasnt there

    • 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.
