Kumho Lap Battle Championship Round 3 - Date & Location Change


Recommended Posts

Hi gregor, just confirming there are still spots available? Also, my car has a halfcage and is not registered, will there be any dramas passing scrutineering? Not sure which Type my car falls under according to the following:

Yep there are still spots available, although for obvious reasons the sooner people enter the less chance of missing out. I'll post up when its almost full.

If you are serious about entering but waiting on the car to be ready you can get your form through and pay a little bit later. It wont reserve your spot but the organiser can contact you if it's filling up and your cash still isnt in yet.

Edit: Don't stress too much about the type. If you arent sure get your entry in and we can figure that out later. Also dont forget you'll need a CAMS license, please get it arranged early to avoid hassles :cheers:

Im just waiting on getting my car back before I commit funds at this stage, BUT, I picked up 2 x KUMHO V700 235/40 17 from FSPORT which was my prize from the last track day, ( I think it was for spilling the most oil........sorry)

They should fit nice on the front of the boat

Im super happy.

Thankyou KUMHO and John from FSPORT.

good to hear, thanks for giving John the shoutout he deserves for supporting club level guys like us.

That's right. maximum 100 entrants. Likely numbers will be somewhere between 80 and 100, looking for around 20-25 per manufacturer.

That might sound like a lot but it's a bigger track than wakefield and with the cost of EC you need a fair few entrants. I dont think anyone will go home unhappy with the amount of track time they get.

Yes, it is a slightly longer track, meaning to keep the same space as 48 vehicles at wakie, you only want 80 cars at EC. But as noted, the cost to hire is extravagent... And knowing the cost of hiring, from my quick sums, the WRX club will basically be losing money with 100 entrants... Unless someone is sponsoring them... Quite a cheap day for EC...

Eastern Creek is awesome, I've done days with the WRX club there, there is lots of space as most people don't go out every session, I'll get the paperwork work done ASAP then.

The passenger discussion is probably a bit of a detour as far as this event is concerned. Probably best to PM an exec if that needs to be followed up.

Now I've got a list of entrants as of Tuesday and we are still looking to fill a bunch of Nissan spots. If the spots arent filled very soon the opportunity will be opened and promoted to other clubs to fill the numbers. If you want SAU to get the chance to be invited to a full track Eastern Creek day in future the best thing you can do is support it by entering.

Remember you will need a CAMS license, if you dont have one get your paper work in ASAP.

The cumulative score is very close. i went back and reviewed every time (a substantial job) after some errors were discovered and im putting them together. You should see a post tomorrow or on the weekend at latest.

I wont post up the entry list as not everyone from there is on SAU or may not want to be listed on a public forum. But if anyone wants to know if they are confirmed in they can PM me. I know thats different to the way SAU normally does things.

Cumulative results posted. Sorry it's a few days after I said it would be. Plenty to do lately and never enough time. <BR><BR>Also the WRX club is close to opening this up to other clubs to ensure they fill numbers. I really thought there would be more SAU guys jumping on the chance to go to Eastern Creek. If you are holding off get those entries in soon before other clubs snap up the spare spots.

Crap, forgot about entering, been thinking about the day but forgot I havent entered, I actually filled them out but I have no idea what happened to them, LOL, will RE-download forms and pay asap.

Sorry.

EDIT; Just paid at the WRX web site, see you there.

The little white "EVO" will be there, I look forward to renewing the battle with the two big bad R34's (or one it appears... :(..)...

I also have improved the car from dead stock last time out at Wakefield... Althou, I'm concerned about the R34's outright straight line speed and the main straight of Eastern Creek... tehehehehe...

Bring it on Skyline Boys... Looking forward to it.

There is still spots left. Looking over the entrants list there are a few GTRs including one new one, a bunch of silvias and a couple of 300/350s too.

There's also 3 hondas on the list too, there might be a few more if the Nissan guys don't get some entries in.

That would have been 1 big bad R34 and one mostly stock R33 (now upgraded but not attending). I wouldn't worry about the straight as long as you can hold the 1st corner :)

    • 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.
