Yeah I went out there about 10:30am and unfortunately it was postponed due to wet weather (unable to put cars on rollers?)

Oh well, looked like a nice workshop and will keep an ear out for the next day :D

Cheers,

Tommo.

Apologies for all who showed up and and couldnt have there cars on the dyno. Understand that some of u guys had travelled from quite a distance.

Unfortunatelly I was there as well hoping it still be on and didnt have a chance to post on forum that it was cancelled, all we managed to do is put a sign up in front of workshop that it was postponed.

The owner have decided to have it again on the 6th November so hopefully u guys will be there and for those who couldnt make it last week here is your chance.

it's pretty poor form to cancel on the day with no way to tell anyone. there were a number of people i know of who went quite some distance to get there and i would be surprised if any of them will want to go back.

The trick is, if you are going to use SAU to advertise your event, have the courtesy to tell people if the event is cancelled so they dont drive from the Northern Beaches all the way there to find out its postponed.

Fully understand how people might feel. I travelled all the way from cronulla as well, sleeping only 4hrs and got there all excited hoping the event will eventually happen. I take full responsibility for not been able to communicate earlier that the event was cancelled and have taken all comments and advise seriously for future postings.

Once again I and many others where disapointed, personally seeing the good turn out, variety of cars and the friendly atmosphere.

    • 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.
