Survival of the fittest, haha. Very true..........

This is why these track days are so good. Plenty of action in the morning. Everyone out there having a go.

As the day wears on, the inevitable battle scars start to take their toll.

Street tyres are starting to melt. Normal brakes are feeling the strain. Cooling systems & fuel systems start to feel

the pressure. The better your driving gets, the less the car wants to keep doing whats its told.

This is what it is all about. You just cant drive on the street like this.............

By the mid afternoon, those "still standing" will have the track almost to themselves. (Thats why my brother is bringing

Radical SR8 out!) He got stuck at the last "practice day" with a bunch of retarded organisers that made him go out

with cars doing 2 laps in the time he could do one!!! Sure enough, there was a crash on the main straight & someone

went to hospital with a tyre up their ass 'cause they didnt see a "blue flash" coming from behind............

Drive to your ability, & if a faster car is coming, get the hell out of the way..............

It is going to be a great day, I am looking forward to catching up with everybody. Some of the fastest laps dont happen

till the end of the day, so for those that really want a thrill, hang around. You might get a passenger ride if you are lucky!

....think I'm going to steel my dad's GT-R on the day and try to 'follow', don't think the 32 GTS-t is going to be either setup or have enough power to keep-up lol.

In saying that John, isn't the general rule in most track-days is to 'stick to your line, and let them over-take you?'. Just remember a certain BMW and Porsche incident few years back at a KPM race day when that didn't happen.

Hey guys, I am really keen to get out there & have a blast around the track. The last time I went I was not happy with my brakes, they were

shaking a lot & felt out of balance. The GTR is at the workshop now having this attended too & while the wheels are off I have a new set of

slicks being fitted. These ones being replaced are my first set & I remember how awesome they were when they were new so I can't wait

to get that "new rubber" feeling again. I have owned this R33 GTR for 12 years now, but with such a long time between track days it takes

me a few sessions to get "in the groove" before I can really enjoy it. Once I get the hang of it, I just LOVE driving this GTR.

I will drive my R35 out to the track as well. It will have a few new mods done by the guys at Willall. pause for a minute silence for the white GTR...

.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

So, while the R33 is cooling down I am going to really try to get a good time out of the R35 (with the $@%#$ tyres that are on it)

This is going to be a bit of fun. It is so heavy compared to the R33 but will have awesome power so be interesting to see what it does.

I am pretty bad with names, but make sure you come up & say hello on the day. Other than the "raffle" winner I may decide to do a few

other passenger rides so dont be shy.... the worst I could say is.......hop in!

Also, check out this link posted by a radical owner. The Blue Radical following is my brother Daniel's which he is bringing out to this tack day.

After this race, once my bro got into the groove he caught him & passed him!

hey mr John:)

im trying to talk the old boy into a motorhome. do you hire them out?

im taking the 16th off work and hope you might take me for a lap or two:) we need to catch up and have beers soon too

LOL John, we've gone from Track Days to Winnebagos !!

....so while we're on the subject, :P I sold my luxury monster last week for $65K so I may come & have another look in your yard.

I'm guessing that amount of cash will only be good for a deposit on a new bus :O

I am sure we will be able to find something suitable for you.................be good to catch up.

Hey Munro

Can you take a winnie up Mt Alma next time? I reckon that'd bring the lols. And we could bet on it and give the proceeds to charity.

Just sayin.

(Note to self - dont let munro drive said winnie. Let Blue32 drive the winnie)

Hi Guys,

I'll be heading out for a look-sie during work in the morning.

Will be good to meet a few people and see some progress on peoples cars.

Unfortunately I'm not entered, and car isn't quite ready for track conditions yet.

See you all there

    • 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
