what the F is with that Micra? Looks faster than the silver R33 with the dark bonnet.

Screw you man... i had lag issues...

freakin micras @#%#%^^%^

This is cool. The telemetry system is awesome

yeah i want that, how much are those going for now?

^Saw a bloke from Canada trying this camera angle and thought I'd give it a go. Shame about the sound though, I just can't get a good 'wind proof' setting

That is why I got the Contour+ edition, external mic port and even just a $9 jaycar mic makes a massive difference.

hmm it says you got a 3second penalty on that run? In fact the final results on natsoft includes all the fastest times without penalties applied, so if one were to plough through every chicane and do a 1:15 they would be 1st on the results sheet. Who is gonna volunteer to work out the real final results?

Commentary looks like it has been carried over from Run 6 (the lists on the two pages are identical) - my best time was on run 5 which had no penalty applied.

anyone get vids of the dirty smoking MX5 that turned up near the end of the day to rip heaps of skids but also some stupid fast times? that guy sure made up for the late arrival..

heres my Facebook gallery

no action shots as it was just me walking around the pits in between runs but almost every car should be there..

(also add me to FB ya kents!)

:cheers:

FJ720, great run in the micra, I reckon you wrung pretty much everything it had out of it

Luke, don’t worry too much about the hoses, just buy decent clamps. And the wider ones are not better.....narrower ones clamps harder.

Excellent driving James, that was damn good car and throttle control…it has more than enough power for such a tight course. And the camber and toe changes you can see on the rear facing camera are terrifying, I can see why Nissan moved on from semi trailing rear arms.

Ben….lol thanks for posting up that video….you can tell the “before I looked at the temp gauge” and “after I looked at the temp gauge”. I took a quick look just before the jumps, saw “H+++” and backed off :( Ran much cooler after I put some water in the radiator though

Mick…those tyres were f**king excellent. Please don’t tell anyone about them.

Only 1 video made it, the same horrible run Scott’s guys got, it was about 1.29 (tip, 3rd gear is not quicker through the last corner :( )

I welded my clutch onto the flywheel with my last launch, I guess you could argue that raising the rev limit to 8,500 just for the launch was a little unwise. Made it interesting to get on and off the trailer, and move around the yard – thanks to Ben, Zebra and Prue for helping load it up afterwards

Yeah i'd love to see some vids of the dirty smoking mx5 too!! :D

I had 4 runs, blew off a cooler pipe on one, spun on another, my walkthrough was another but the second lap I had was pretty clean (albeit mainly sideways) ! Netted a 1:31 which wasn't too bad for the smokey ol girly car! The oil appeared to subside after the event and today it was a fair bit more tasteful!

Yeah on the timing we used electronic timing for the first time (as you all saw), a few bugs need to be ironed out and as this was the first time using these guys at an event like this (we have used them for Wakefield and Eastern Creek over the years), I think it went really well. Dave (or "Timer Dave" as we call him to not get confused) was really great throughout the day and I'll happily book Timer Dave for any other events I can.

The downside to using the electronic timing is that theres so much functionality on the system Timer Dave and I need to figure out a few things which will be easy as now he's seen how a day works and I know how the timing gear works.

I'll get him on to the penalties and ask how to update Natsoft etc and next time include them in the Natsoft times straight away :)

Sorry about that guys, other than that I think the day went well

video is unavailable duncan..still processing post upload?

nice to see you on here Rorge, some epic driving there. Love your run it into the ground attitude as i pretty much do the same thing..

heres a shot post cone strike on my last run.

the day went super well....Had a great day,

the track was super fun and is like nothing else around, its awesome to get the times on your phone through the day.

Was pretty happy with my time for a big wagon no launching and tight cone placement, will have a in car video up soon.

Big thanks to the organisers who put in heaps of effort in as well as the volunteers including my brother who spent most of the day replacing cones we all sent flying.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.

      Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.

      Correct. The ECU cannot read oil temp. (Well, I think it probably can in some situations. I did have the thought of potentially repinning the ECU when I was doing oil pressure). I am using this into the MPVI dongle, so that the MPVI dongle can read oil temperature. It is attached to a VDO gauge which is obviously calibrated to whatever curve the sender actually is using. This would be easy if I could setup a table of voltage to temperature like many sensors, but it appears I cannot do this and can only setup the transform rule which appears to be Input (voltage) x Multiplier, and add an offset. This to me means it MUST be linear. So it may be a complete waste of time wiring this into the ECU. The idea was that the MPVI3 has standalone logging. I wanted to use this instead of a laptop with serial cable (for wideband) for long datalogs. Given the wideband also has electric interference, I may never trust this either in a world where the serial wideband and the analog output wideband do not agree. Last time I did a trace I could see the two wideband traces follow each other, but one was a little leaner than the other. I plan on playing with voltage offsets and actually driving the thing to see how close they correlate. If they never correlate... then, well, maybe I'll never use either. Ideally I'd like to have the Analog wideband read ever so slightly leaner than the serial one, because the serial one is 'correct'. Tuning the car to be ever so slightly too-rich would be the aim. Not needing to have a laptop flying around in the footwell connected with cables is... an advantage. About the only one from the forced upgrade to MPVI3.

      Hopefully not, since he knows the fuses work ha ha ha

      I don't think he's got it on a gauge and on the ECU. I think he's got it on the gauge and on the HPTuners DAq thingo. Remember, we're talking about oil temp here, not something that the ECU is actually interested in for its own sake.
