How many of these car's actually drive to the track under there own steam and not on a trailer + how many of them change there tires once they get to the track.... a true street car should be able to rock up to the track, do a few passes, then drive home simple as that.

That Yellow Corolla used to when it was running 8s, not sure now that it has the wheelie bars. Also his 7.97 was run on 275 Dot aprroved tyres.

Event points.

h) 400 metre sprint Each crew will score points towards their nominated forum based on their fastest lap for the event to the following scale

1.25. Fastest outright-40 points

1.26. Fastest 4WD 20 points

1.27. Fastest- RWD 20 points

1.28. Fastest- FWD 20 points

I was trying to point out what can happen if dot approved tyres and rego are the only rules, anyways mite have to make a weekend of it and drive down. Are all event going to be open to

spectators Ash? get my go SAU banners and Pom poms.lol

Thanks Brad

It's an ARC round Brad = 100% spectator driven.

In fact the more ticket that sell under the "SAU" banner, more points we receive.

More details to come on that in a few weeks, so hold off for now. But it will be an awesome event. I've been in contact with some rather special cars :thumbsup:

Again - On DOT Approved Radials.

Both those cars are tubbed on slicks :rolleyes:

Mark Hayes' Torana is a baby hydraulic cammed 496ci that'd be lucky to run a 10. Scott Hoffman's OKE020 is registered and runs 7's on radials but isn't together. BU5TER is a roller with no engine (when it comes back the new owner is looking for 7's, no rego and on big f**king slicks). Surely something running low-10's/high-9's from SAU would shit this in?!

We are hoping to run a mid to high 9sec pass on the 19inch Advan AD08's on our next outing, will not be putting17inch M/T's tyres on until we have can absolutely cannot get any more improvement on the Advans at this point in time the car is still under testing and is getting faster and faster with every run. Can't wait to head back out to the track and crack a 9sec pass.

  • 3 weeks later...

Well the entry list is now upto 4 cars for the 400m dash

AND...

NO MORE STREET REGO

I've dropped a PM to superjet, however he has not been online in over a month. If someone knows him personally and could give him quick call and point him in his PM box direction it would be great!

As the rules have changed, anyone with some non-rego'd cars around??? I reckon there would be a few interested people now especially given we need a team of FOUR!!!

HUGE NEWS!!!

superjet760 looks like making the trip to Melbourne, to fly the SAU flag in the 400m

8.9 sec pass on DOT radials - Perhaps even faster.

Will have 100% confirmation in approx 2 weeks, and pending no more setup issues (or unfortunate failures) - this is a GO!

This is some excellent awesome news. Still need 2 more cars at this stage.

Spread the word - Team SAU is taking brilliant shape already.

  • 2 months later...

im not caged or teched but im happy to go out on radials with my gtr... still a stock 5 spd at the moment but the T400 shouldnt be too far away... (been saying this since may but apparently everything is ready to go)

mine makes around 1050 at the wheels at the moment but if i race it ill prob throw another 5 pounds in it.

if not, im ready to hire out WSID for a private day and do some testing if anyone is keen shoot me a message.

I heard this made 1300hp with the auto :worship:

  • 3 months later...

1300hp at the wheels. Should run 7.4 .. We make 1200 hp all 4 wheels to run 7.6 at 180 plus mph .

We ran 8.69 on my drag radials .. Liberty trans .. 9.0 with ppg .. Auto is similar to a clutch less box .. Very easy to drive prob nos of the trans brake also ..

If we continued on the drag radials a 7.9 sec pass would be possible but grip level would be questionable !!!!

    • 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.
    • 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.
