An interesting event has come up via Honda Car Club - on 30/11 - 1/12 there is a hillclimb at Bathurst.

Mount Panorama (The Esses)

4km from Bathurst

run by Bathurst Light Car Club

Record: 22.68 secs - Peter Gumley (SCV) - 13th February 2000

Start is on Mountain Straight and finish at McPhillamy Park.

This is a one-car at a time, timed event up the hill. You can still crash, but it won't be because someone else hit you.....

What you need:

1. CAMS L2S or higher license - you only need to join a club to qualify for this

2. non-flammable long pants, long sleeves, & shoes.

3. helmet

What the car needs:

1. secondary bonnet tie down, eg belt

2. blue triangle located on the bodywork above where the battery lives, eg blue electrical tape

4. fire extinguisher. Should be securely mounted within reach of the driver.

Kelly and I will be going up there for the weekend, anyone else interesting in competing/watching?

The supplementary Regulations are here on the Bathurst light car club site: http://www.blcc.com.au/November.htm#speedweek

Richard Colley at HCC is our contact 0410 664 140, I'm going to try and sign up myself in the next few days.

Do you have a fire extinguisher or any suggestion on who to speak to to get hold of one?

oh god yes! how much fun would it be having a fang around bathurst!!

but due to having a stockers car, crap tyres, brake pads that are due to be replaced, no helmet, no fire extinguisher, and no CAMS L2S licence...I'll have to say no :D

oh, and i've never raced my car anywhere before and would look like a slow-arsed idiot :mad: there's another reason :P

According to the regs, there's no closing date for entries.

And Shell, the only hard bit is the extinguisher - Kelly and I are both doing our first hillclimb here. (and our car's stock too). None of the skylines will be the fastest, hillclimbs are pretty open in classes, and some crazy open wheeler ex-f1 car will be a long way ahead of us.

Just going to have fun, and the chance to race at Oz's best track.

For those who don't mind going fast, there's also a timed sprint down conrod straight on the Saturday. Hope the speed limiter is gone:crazy:

Any estimates for speed before braking for the chase?

C'mon all, we need more than 2 skylines to take on the crowd at Bathurst.  Anyone else interested?

I am very interested Duncan, however my employer is also interested in me being at work then. :D

Maybe next time...:uh-huh:

I already have my license, but Kelly is hunting one down now, I think she's going to join Honda Car Club - I have their details if you like.

I think entries are closing this week, so you'll need to be quick!

Fatz, Kel and myself are going so far.

Well, despite a few skyline drop outs (looks darkly at Kelly and Pete), it was a great weekend at the mountain.

I came second in my class (lightly modified over 3L) behind a big hp senator in both the hillclimb and the sprint. Apparently that bloke could steer a bit too, he's an ex-group A racer so its not as embarasing as it could be to be beaten by a commodore. :Oops:

And there's always next year:D

Red, they're at the top of the page, just wave your mouse over them. Not too exciting though.

Silver-Arrowz, its at least an annual event, so I'll try and rustle up a bigger crowd next time. Top fun!

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • 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.
