Where did this bullsh1t rain come from:(

Just checked the forecast for tomorrow and they are predicting rain as well. My problem is m doing taking the day off work which means i will ahev to work the weekend, my semis are just about bald,:P

The rain is great fun, BUT:(...

Well that was easier than I thought... when do you want me to pickup the keys? :P

/sits at home twiddling thumbs :(

I will deliver them to you on my flying pink elephant :)

rain? Roy, you bought that bullsh1t melbourne weather with you. d'oh.

LOL at Duncan, anything rwd is the goods in the rain, pain in thass to bolt all the safety gear in though.

Im going to maeka judgement call in the morning based on the weather, either way i wont be able to do that mnay sessions as my new pads are sitting in the back seat of ther car so will have to monitor carefully pad wear:)

Mission control we have dry weather, good for laucnh.........Giddyup old girl we got some thrash'n to do:):):);)

May have to duck off at lunchtime to do some work things, depends how hot the phone rings, so if anyone is thinking baout swinging by maybe give me a call on 0408 409 068

Houston we have a problem. I am stuck in my f**king office you bastard!

Appolo 1 you are cleared for launch.

All,

  Im off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of eastern creek! Bring on the rain YEAH!. Tough luck to all you suckers stuck in the office! EC here I come

shuddup Paul. :rofl:

LOL...it was fun in the wet. Im always amazed how much you learn about the characteristics of the car in the wet, and how you learn throttle control and to use smooth steering inputs, which all goes out the window when you run accross muddy rivers running accross the track.

Started off good, then as the rain continued the water started running accross the track on turn 1 (big moment sideways but held onto it and survived), turn 4 (survived, still a little gunshy from turn 1), but then turn 8 was having a play sidewys with a monaro, but coming up to turn 9 aquaplaned straight over some mud/river form a a Porsche crash earlier in the day and went for aride.

It was good fun, a bit like a slippery dip, but instead of splashing into a nice pool of water it was like going head first into the pool bottom:( , or tyres in this case.

Car got back on the track and did another 3 x 20min sessions until the alternator died and had no voltage...lol big thanks to Doughboy and the midnight spares express:thumbsup:

All in all it was a fun day, good to catch up with Paul and Ben (long time no see) and do a lousy 2:20 slipping and sliding with the occasional bump:(

    • 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.
