Question of the day..... When you see a chick driving a Skyline with a bloke beside her, do you automatically assume she's driving because he's lost his licence?

I managed to steal the keys away from Duncan and drove the Skyser to Wakefield for a track day (btw great day Jeff from MFX- no cars, lots of fun!).

When we stopped off for fuel, a guy (no offence intended if he's reading this) asked Duncan in all seriousness if he had his licence because I was driving!!!!!

Lucky I kicked his &@!* on the track (a 1.15 :eek1: for those who care!)

;)

Kel - not at all.

Bec LOVES driving the 180 (can you blame her, she has a mirage!) and loooved driving the skyline until i got the 5 puck BB clutch! (then she just stalled all the time! ;) ) ... she drives all the time when we go out... if we could have 2 180s (1 each) we would!

I must say that I love my Saabie, but admit that something else takes over when I jump in Duncan's car (reference the poor blokes in the hotted up falcadore ute at Crosslands this afternoon who didn't know what hit them when we left the lights :devil1: ).

Honestly, the thing that surprised me most was the sincerity with which this guy asked the question (god love him)- it was like he could not fathom any other reason for a chick to be driving, which is pretty contrary to the attitudes of most other guys I've met at track days.

(have to meet Bec properly sometime Christian!)

did you just change this? or am i going nuts? :D

yeah, bec and i arnt married yet. :D (been together for almost 6 years tho).

i met you very breifly at the charity cruise, right?

oh and speaking about sexist blokes, 1 word - uneducated.

educated men would KNOW that the chick is driving because the bloke lost his license... UNeducated men have to ask. ;) :headbang:

Christian- That's your story and you're sticking to it right? ;)

URMINE- there's nothing uneducated about the love of a convertable (now if only they'd chop the top off a skyline). :inlove:

but we digress....

Doesn't that suck!!! :uh-huh:

I get the same thing...it's like "uhh, he must be pissed and he's let his girlfriend drive his car home" ;)

Kel...I might have to get some tips off you, I'd love to get out on the track someday :D

Gladly Shell.

The trick for me was to get into it slowly.

I went out in heaps of novice sessions on track days at Wakefield (good because there is nothing to hit if you come off!) and got an instructor into the car a few times.

The Peter Findlay course also helped with proper techniques for high speed braking and cornering.

I also usually have Duncan in the car with me- but only after he promised not to touch the handbrake :slap:

    • 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.
