CAMS licence just turned up so we are going to head down... weather not looking great but I have to get out there.

Do you want to share a garage paul. Seems it's certain to rain at some stage through the day..

If you, me and Billywhiz (john) get a garage it's only $50 each.

My number is 0421332860. I'm in the black/silver/grey (lol) R32 with a big wing.

What car are you in?

Toughen up Princess! :) PI is the best track in Vic in the wet to drive on. LOTS of room for catching slides.

Plus - what are you going to do if its wet and windy @ Superlap?

Lol just saw your post.

Well I'm screwed if I can't get temp into tyres. Still deciding on mediums or softs for Superlap.Really wanting to test that and test the dynamics of the car at high speeds. Mainly turn 1. Being wet might make that hard. Anyway I'm definitely going now. Weather will be same as today or better. Might get a dry run.

Yep done! Will give you a yell in the morning once we pull in.

I am in Snowy's old (now mine :devil: ) white R34, z-tune kit.

Weather turned out good.

Managed a 48.9 until problems put an end to my day.

I had 2 dramas today. Seems that there is a exhaust gasket leak and we think a welsh plug decided to exit the front of the head, just behind cam gears. Coolant everywhere and all over the windscreen and tyres. I was going about 180kph at the time coming in to lukey heights.

Good thing is that this stuff has happened now and not at sydney.

Thanks Campbell for giving me a hand today and REON for coming down.

Nice to meet you Paul. You seemed quite at home in the car :)

John, did you break the 2 min mark?

Excellent day, didn’t hit my target, but a big improvement from my prior trip. Made big improvements with lines etc so very happy. Got the 4x15mins sessions plus a session with instructor so the fuel tank was vapours by the time I got to the servo.

Russell, shame about your woes cutting the day short, hope it works out, seems exhaust leaks were the go, mine started impersonating a tractor on the way home – to be investigated, food, drink n settling in to F1 Qual & Le Tour.

Nice meeting you too Russ, and big thanks to you and Campbell for helping me out with tire pressures and gear.

Excellent day here too, great intro to track work.

Started off pretty slowly to get a feel for the car, by the third session was blasting around passing everything.

Fourth session I really started to make some ground and finished with a 2:02 including a little traffic. Still plenty of time to be made up but in due course.

Pretty happy with that for a first outing. Also seeing I didn't sleep Friday night can't have helped my cause.. accomodation a must next time.

Would have posted a vid but the plug for the front facing cam popped out in the first session and I didn't check it all day >_<

    • 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.
