Haha if it makes you feel any better John, I don't have any GoPro footage to rub it in! But I'm sure the other guys can make up for it ;)

Actually I do! Damn GoPro battery died as I rounded the final corner on my next best lap (1:52.1504 vs 1:52.1412 so close enough!). A 51 seems so close...

That last corner entry, pegged to the floor!

Hehe yeah full throttle from the exit of turn 10 basically. I think the extra camber helped in that regard (~3 front, 2.5 rear)

  • 2 weeks later...

Finally had a chance to sit down and see what i got from the weekend.

PB on Sunday! happy with that.

Saturday was ment to be a bit of fun in the Stagea that ended up not as fun.

Got a couple of laps in before radiator couldn't handle the heat.

After having to take cameras and loggers of the windscreen only ended up with one vid, lucky it catches the radiator pop.

Have any of you guys driven to and from Winton on E85? With current economy I'm budgeting bringing a full tank of E85 and just over 100L spare to race around on and get me home... shit ain't economical!

Get a trailer then...

Not worth it to drive that distance burning up E85, and if you have semi slicks it's even worse.

Yeah I wouldn't risk it. You'd need 5+ Jerry's just to make sure you'd be able to race all day and get home. I don't know how'd you'd fit them in a car with whatever else you need to bring.

Safer just to trailer it.

You're not trying hard enough! Plenty of room in a prius, should be a easy as in a skyline!

That said, the shitty economy does make it a pain in the arse for the long haul. According to the website there isn't a united beyond Somerton with E85.

The middle section section is a typical wheel well but only the 2 with labels are standard height cans.

The 2 yellow and outer red ones are all low profile cans like this which make life a lot easier. Can still fit these in the boot with the floor liner in place and not using the wheel well:

I can fit 80 litres in the boot of the 33, and a further 50 litres in the foot wells behind the front seats. I can definitely carry enough, it's just trying to work out how much I'll need SAFELY, I'm thinking I'll need about 120 Litres to make it safely.

Mehhhhh, I think I'll just not put the passenger seat back in my car... plenty of room for activities :) Because nothing screams safely like heading towards Winton at 110km/h with 120L of fuel in the cabin

    • 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.
