OK I went to a little meeting in Brisbane on the 13th June at the Roma Street Parklands....Not many cars but a great place to hang out, yes it is close to police headquaters but there is a rather large and noisy transit station in between so you can make some noise without fear...Yes the cops do patrols throught the parkland but they are cool and don't cause any hasels.....

ANYWAY, What I am proposing is a regular meeting place to hang out on particular nights so have a look at the poll above and make your decision, if anyone has anything to add let me know and I will modify the poll.

I just think that it would be great if people new that on a xxxxx night if its fine then there will be cars at xxxxx. The other thing is it would be great if you all made a decission that on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th xxxxx night of the month we always meet at xxxxx

Time for meetings would be around 8pm onward or so

:P

Have you ever been to the river cam ? There's a few little parking bays along there with a hell big stretch of road. It used to be pretty big but the cops cracked down on it and it died off, but it's a good quiet place to park and have a chat and even decide on a cruise later on in the night or something.

I think at least one saturday night every month we all gotta meet up and have a chat. If only to discuss how we're gunna get the QLD Club running.

Its seems obvious that we all want somewhere to gather So I propose that we pick a date some time soon and all get together and go for a drive to these different places and check them out as a group.

meet/race "V" meet/chat

From what I have whitnessed the norm seems to be that everyone gets together and has a chat and stuff around 8:30pm then as it gets later they head off for a run somewhere. May I suggest that NO ONE post possible race spots only meeting spots.

Keep the ideas flowing.

Is anyone up for something tomorrow night ?

If your interested... I think some of us are going up the coast this weekend.. Well saturday night anyway. Its no where near as good as the gold coast... but yeah.. Its somewhere different until the whole cop thing dies down.

I've gotta speak to Fenn first to find out whats going on.

Well I can't really do Friday nights, but Saturday nights are normally OK. Can I suggest that if you're part of the "meet/race" group that you have your runs nowhere near where the rest of us hang out, the last thing we need is yet another good hangout killed off by cops cracking down on everyone because of a few.

I'm not saying don't have fun, just be careful and considerate of the rest of us, and please think of the long-term use of the area! If we treat the area right, chances are we'll be left alone!

hey cam do u cruise around twba much? i've been there a few times over the last couple of months and i think i saw u once! i was actualy in twba on the 20th/21st and did a bit of the cruise thing but was a bit disappointed with the action. i saw a few cars , the hifi mart r33 and a couple of others but most were parked. i see that a few people park around the back of the travel centre but where's all the action happening?:lol:

In Toowoomba go to the "Chalk Drive" carpark (opposite Queen's Park) on Saturday nights, normally a heaps of cars there.

Council have actually let us use this as a regular meeting place and tend to let us be so long as we don't fool around too much.

There are heaps of imports in town now so we should all get together sometime.

    • 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.
