Thanks for saving me a pit spot guys, much obliged.

Was a very mixed bag for me. Car made no extra power after going from a smaller turbo on 14psi to a larger one on 17psi, filled the catch can twice, leaked out the back of the rocker cover and handled like a wet sock all day. Only managed to shave 3 tenths off my PB. I'll be compression testing shortly as I have a feeling the engine is showing its 23yrs and 145,000ks of age.

Could have been worse, got there and back in one piece and got to do some testing on setup and learn a few things the car needs and despite all the hurdles still managed to go a touch faster.

EDIT: I've sent an email to Adam about those VL drivers. I almost had the front of my car ripped off a number of times. they don't signal to pass and will drive across into your line without any hesitation. Also happy to go two wide, and sideways, through corners if you get up beside them.

I don't mind pushing harder and doing that sort of thing with mates but not people who drive like lunatics who clearly aren't watching mirrors plus it's not a door to door racing event.

There was an incident in one of the last sessions wasnt there?

Dont know the full story but it sucks when that happens at the track. Especially all the way out at Winton.

Hope all involved got there cars sorted and made the journy home.

Cheers all to a good day though.

The poor RSR's wernt up for the challenge but still had a lot of fun!!

yeah around 4:30 2 cars made contact. Unfortunately one of them a SAU member.

Short of it was one of the Honda's spun at the sweeper and went into the side of the SAU members car.

some bent arms damaged rim and panel damage ended his day.

no-one hurt thankfully.

Damn, sorry to hear that to whoever it was.

Martin you might remember me lamenting having so many Honda drivers in my group, the first 2 sessions were more a case of self preservation than going for outright lap times.

I got this from Adam re the VLs

"Hi Dan,

The VL’s are a group of people that come from Bendigo. They are generally pretty good, but on the weekend they had a couple of new drivers, but they were allocated into the Beginners group. I will have a chat to them and tell them to be more careful on the track. Obviously we want everyone to have an enjoyable experience so I am glad you took the time to email and let me know.

Part of the problem is the way we run the groups. I am working on a new process that we can easily identify which driver is in which group, so that our man on the track entry can control it better.

We are always evolving, or trying to anyway.

Cheers

Adam"

Much love to the SAU crew for sticking around and making sure I was all right and helping out. The car is messed up bad and it's going to be insane to repair it now. I'm just lucky that I noticed him lose control and managed to react quick enough to try to avoid it, otherwise he would have hit me right in the drivers side door.

Other than that, the day was great and was a lot of fun. I've uploaded all my photos for the day, check them out here. Took a photo of pretty much every car. :)

Mate that's no good about the damage and you managed to get 0 photos of my car but that's cool :D

The silver Evo5/6 in those pics, if you know the driver, tell him that I apologise for not seeing him coming sooner down the back straight. He might remember my S13 green/grey and big wing. I was on a cool down lap and checking guages etc when he was coming up behind me and I may have inadvertently caused him to brake earlier than he wanted to into the chicane.

42secs - footage of me on a cooldown lap yay :D I remember seeing that Evo roll off the road and wondered if he wasn't watching where he was going or had something bust as he wasn't going that quick and I'd followed him through there a few laps before at higher speeds.

    • 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
