Just haven't changed the brake pads as I am not confident in doing them myself. I have seen it done a fair few times just don't have the confidence to do it atm. Hopefully the current pads will last the punishment. There is about half life left in the pads up front and same for the rear. I have a brand new set of QFM A1RM's with me that I will be bring out to the track and hopefully someone can lend me a hand in changing the pads if need be :D Also hoping that 3 jerry cans will be enough.

Looking forward to this track day :D

Bring the pads I can help you change them out there if needed.

After heraing Munros 33 in the wayville pavillion today at full noise and having everyone run over. I cant wait to see it on the track :thumbsup:

Well I am all good to go. Just have to fill the car up and 3 Jerry cans tomorrow morning.

I will be at the meet spot :D

i can help you change pads if you want, i've got a decent enough bleeder that i'll have with me.

just need a car jack, pliers, screwdriver and something to undo the bleed valve if you want to bleed fluid?

you can change the pads without bleeding.

should onl'y take 5mins per wheel.

i've changed out my pads so many times now, piece of piss

Is there any particular time in the morning that we have to be there? judging by Andrew's comment about the meet point, I should aim to be there at 8:15/8:30am?

Gates open at 8am, so plan to be there then.

Mallala is only about half an hour from Caltex, and Clem is often a few minutes late getting the gates open :)

Cheers guys. Well lets hope that someone brings a jack :P

It should be alright but you never know. The pad is on about half the of what a new one would be, so still plenty of meat left on it. Just had a spare set that was mean't to go in once the current pads had seen enough lol. I had no idea that you could change pads without bleeding the fluid system :D

^^^ helps a LOT if you have one of these handy (my brother-in-law David has one)

Otherwise it is a royal pita to release the pistons enough to get the new pad in. You can just loosen the bleed nipple a tad and squeeze the pistons open though.

Either way it is an easy job Krish!

Yeah it is going to be an awesome day ..... Munro's race car will be a highlight, but the big highlight for me will be Daniel's Radical SR8 (powered by 2 Hyabusa engines strapped together to make a V8) - one of the fastest cars EVER around the Nurbugring - just the sound of it idling is insane, let alone when it hits its 11,000-odd rpm redline :D :D :D

Best to fill before you leave or at Bolivar Caltex depending on what your brew of choice is.

There is a servo in town, whether or not it carries a suitable octane fuel remains to be seen.

Both cameras are charged and ready to go, though my external mic and camera mount didn't arrive in time. :(

Fun day. Really looking forward to getting back out there.

Spent most of the day running around with an alien camera and alien lens, most of my photos suck. A couple fresh off the gun, so to speak that I kinda like.

I'll get more up whenever I can be bothered doing post.

What a great day today was, thanks SAU:SA for the great day. Only bad point was when I got home my dipstick had popped out and oil was spat everywhere.

:mellow: this is not good

nice to meet you today Fliggy, thanks for the hand pushing too :thumbsup:

Also thanks to All that gave me a hand with things an those i had a good chat with

    • 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.
