Ok - thought I'd put this in a new thread just to grap all of you interested parties attention.

Just recieved an email from Chris (event co-ordinator) that there has been some cancellations and they now have room for 8 more people to the HSV Day at Phillip Island on Sept 19th.

You guys still interested? I have to fax him the details of everyone that wants to participate by Friday morning.

Also - just to throw a spanner in the works - that weekend at Winton they are having an open weekend. The Saturday will be like the usual Fridays ($100 with 30min sessions between cars and bikes) and the Sunday will be another $20 Fun Day. No CAMS license required for anyone that wants to go to these days at Winton but you will need a helmet.

I'm keen to hit Philip Island, but I need to have front and rear anti-roll swaybars fitted and new semi-comp rubber =/ I've been spending too much money recently.. If the car isn't ready at the level I want it in time, I may go up to winton on Sunday for the fun day since I missed out on the last one.

Rubbish :D You dont NEED new sway-bars, you have them std. You dont NEED semi comp rubber. Sure it would be nice to have them, but if you wait until everything is perfect onn your car, you will never, ever make it out there. Hell id be there if my car had an engine in it :Oops: ...even though i have a shopping list as long as my arm of things i want, as opposed to need.

You NEED to get out there and give it a flogg'n :( Std, tweaked or heavily modified it dont matter :headspin:

That's good advice, and you're absolutely right :D

I'll see how things go... I definately want to get out on the track in the 34. But judging from my cars handling on fast corners, I'd like to get my whiteline adjustable swaybars fitted.. also need new race pads & fluid.

No way boy racer, Your car will be fine. I was eating other cars out there so trust me when I say your car is fine. If you've got any questions let me know.

EDIT : I also had stock pads and fluid.

You can get rb74 front, comp 2 rear pads and motul dot 5.1 fluid from racebrakes for just over $300 bucks. Mine are getting installed tomorrow by mate

Is that price from racebrakes directly? I'm also considering Formula Ferrodo pads for the front, they dont squeal as much as the Ferrodo 3000.

Yes, when you go there say were were quotes $145 for the front pair and $132 for the comp 2's. I think ferrodo pads need to be warmed up a fair bit before they start to work, not fun on winter mornings driving to work.

The best ferodo comprimise pad is the ferodo 2500's. They are the stock pads on cars like the AMG mercs. Great track pad for your usual "sprint" sessions but may start to fade if you do an extended 8+ laps in one session.

The 3000 are farken noisey. But god damn they work good! :D

So far for the HSV day I have confirmed:

Snowman

Emre

Duncan

Skylinegeoff

Attached is the sup regs. I will bring some tonight in case - but I have to have these faxed off by tomorrow morning.

I might try to make this aswell since i'm there anyway. Would have actually prefered to do the HSV day rather than the MSCA. Dunno if I can afford both. Are you doing both Andrew?

When is the closing date they speak of? Is it going to be $110 or $200???

    • 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.
