.... Jeff!

And every one else we bumped into from last year... Mark from "N Jo" and those dirty little M3-R pilots.

TT i noticed u had a few complaints at the end of stage one, i hope you brought them to octagons attention (i took your time sheet off you), the optical start system had many faults with it and as a result wasn't used in the end.. has nothing to do with me at all though!!!

I also did your time sheet Duncan, but didn't realise it was your car till u pulled away and i saw the GT3 brakes!

Anyway good to see you guys up the pointy end!! stay there!

i told jason white he had better win OR ELSE!!!

So Tim are you officialising? volunteer?

The car from our team is 811, Hawkins/Warren, black R32 with team raceworx all over it :D There's probably a few skylines with the GT3 stoppers coz brakes are free, they look pretty nice, eh?

According to the most recent update the boys are in 66th (stage 6 of 8 for today)

Hope the day went well for all the skyliners

Well done to the Whites yesterday equal first with Greg Garwood (GT3) also seven seconds in front if Jim Richards, they said yeaterday that they reckon they can keep up this speed for the whole event.

Might finally be a win for the skyline in Targa if they don't break down again.

All we have to do is pray for rain on Saturday and Sunday.

Unfortunately their was a skyline broken down out the front of the silverdome last night blown head gasket I think so it wasn't really a great day for all the skylines.

Hope you guys all go well.

Cheers Lavers

Duncan, yes i am an official.... My dad is a Senior Official

I only did stage 1 cos its closest to home and i can't miss too much work.

when i get a cams licence i will be able to do something more exciting

GT3 brakes stand out mate, unlike the array of Harrops, AP's, Willwood, STD's and White Hots!

Lavers the skyline broken down didn't happen to be the purple car of Beables? that was dripping large amounts of oil at the end of stage one.

Yeah pretty sure it was the car of beables was that the one which had all the different layers of paint.

They were doing the head gasket replacement by themselves in the dark out the front of the silverdome. So best of luck to them hope they made it to todays racing.

Cheers Lavers

yeh the 'TRICK' marble paint aka. black coat, purple coat, gladwrap on it while its still wet!

goodlcuk to them but i doubt they would get it done on the side of the road. if you have ever worked on a R33 u will know that its a pain in the ass! doubt they will be back in if thats the case.

TT wasnt listening to faithfull sidekick!!! Fired into a "!R2 >" thinking it was a R3 Knocked down a few blades of grass - but the 4 tonne of rocks holding them pulled us up...

But not before our little gts-t dropped only 35sec on Devonport (Top 10) and 17sec on Nook (Top 20)

Was on the pace on Sheffield until I parked it badley!

Been on the Chassis Rack today to move the shock tower forward 50mm and down 60mm.

Back on the track tomorrow (Hobart) to have some fun...

Bugger!

Top speed on Devonport was 219kph (PFC) minus a bit for 50 series tyres, so the little girl was haulin the mail...

TT

ouch!

Well done until then, sounds like you guys were running really well....and it shows that you're running damn close to the limit if the difference between L2 and L3 is a rock wall!

Hope you got whats left of the car back on track, good lcuk

my 2c...

I don't care who wins as long as Brock and Richards aren't on the podium.

Better yet... seeing a DNF next to there names would also work for me...

I don't wish harm on them... but that's all I've seen of the targa in the media and I'm sick of it.

Brock: "Jim's driving a 2wd this year... I think we stand a chance of beating him"

Well... you have the whole of HRT putting years of V*superTAXI knowledge into your car... Jim is prob doing it himself in his backyard.

I'll take a few deep breaths before I get carried away, but damn... I hate brock, he's soooo over-rated

... Targa Tom... the good ol' GTiR didn't rate a mention... WTF is up with that? It's still a nissan, or are you PRO Skyline? :rofl:

I agree with u Phorj on the Brock part but not Richards. How could u have a go at the very guy who started the godzilla fanfare.

I just don't think its right that you walk in every night to the exhibition and their is the brock monaro being stripped down to pieces while every other car is just parked.

Unlucky Targa Tom but thats motorsport hope u guys push hard and turn a few heads over the rest of the event. Hope to see u on Saturday at Symmons

Lavers.

well as usual the sideling put on a good show, crick wrote his car off, so if anyones looking for some GT3 brakes there they are (i get first dibs!).

and a big disappointment, local boy, leo handojo in the black 33 GTR who wasn't even in the event for racing, just as a camera car had a head on with a tree.

phat_r33 is helping him arrange new parts

you'll like this then:

http://www.targa.org.au/media/2004releases...leg3_report.htm

apart from this part down the bottom:

Jason White cut 10-seconds off Sullens' lead in the Howden stage and then took the lead in the following Oyster Cove stage. However, the Nissan developed engine problems
:D
ahh well, richards is out in front again and for a skyline to catch him now is going to be a huge effort, especially if the problem with the white's 34 doesn't improve.

yep, i reckon richards has been saving his tyres(more than usual) this year, and will have 'another gear' to use today.

from the targa website:

The all-Tasmanian team of Jason White and John White, who were joint leaders at the end of the first leg, and then held first place for part of the third leg, dropped from third to fourth after their Nissan Skyline continued to be slowed by an engine misfire. They began the fourth leg just 13-secs off the lead, but finished 2-mins 12-secs behind Richards in first place.  

"The team worked on the engine last night trying to fix things," said Jason White. "It's losing power at 6,000-rpm. We think it's a 'spark' problem. The electrics and fuel pump have been replaced, and tonight we will change the wiring loom for the motor to try and get it right for tomorrow."

hopefully theyve sorted it out, they seemed to be going pretty slow through the hobart domain leg yesterday morning, and the way he took one of the corners was pretty crap :rant:

by the way, ive put some pictures and videos up in my gallery, and ill put more up if people want to see them :)

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
