Although I only popped out for a few hours, seemed like a good day was had by all! Great to see a lot of both new and old faces.

Currently sorting through pics and videos - Will put up the best ones I've got. I didn't get every car - sorry guys! Next time.

Post your stories!

awesome day as always, thanks to the organisers+volunteers for another great event. so many skids! Should hold it on Bathurst day more often :) finished off 2 sets of tyres.. michelins started throwing big chunks and I had to swap them after only an hour and then my RE001's - the last pair have been to every texi with me - finally got down to the belts in the afternoon. Man those tyres have a hard casing on them! I had about 6 "last run"s because they just wouldn't die..

Was a great day today.

Had great fun and look forward to the next one.

Thankyou very much to all the event organisers, volunteer's and club members for making this day happen.

Without you, these types of days at such a cheap cost wouldn't exist.

Also thanks Chris in the black drift 180sx for use of your screwdriver :)

Look forward to more pics and times

As everyone has said, big thanks to ALL the organising for running another AMAZINGLZY successful Texi day.

Top weather as well which makes it all the better.

Great to meet some new people and put faces to form names.

Terry some tops pics above mate, well done. Great angles there, top stuff.

Only brought one set of tyres and they were pretty much cooked by lunch.....doh......

Although i had to leave early i am still shattered tonight.

I didnt take any videos or pics this time, but would LOVE to see everyone elses on here.

Thanks again to all, TOP DAY. :)

Good day, so many runs.. Great to catch up with a few people

Shame no one has posted up photos of the poopra!!!

First SAU event, even though I was just a spectator haha. Can't wait to take my girl out on the next texi !

Was great to have a chat with some of you today and no doubt I'll see use again at the next event !

    • 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.
    • 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.
