Ladies and gentlemen.

I am building a fighting force of extraordinary magnitude.

On Saturday November 19th - we will be running our second competition motorkhana event at DECA in Shepparton... and we need your help.

As your Chief Event Steward, I need a total of about 20 officials for various tasks throughout the day. Car marshals, time keepers, starters, recorders, media (video and still photos) etc

You will need to be in Shepparton at 8.30am on Saturday morning (a convoy will be leaving Melbourne at 6.00am - feel free to head up on Friday though) to report for an officials breifing. This is a key responsibility for the event, as without your help - there is no motorkhana.

As officials you will be treated with extreme reverence and respect.

What you say - goes.

Please note the accomodation thread if you wish to stay over for Saturday night:

You have our gratitude

James

do i have to be like qualified or anything like that? I can take ok photos...not a photographer so not familar with light settings on cameras and all that jazz but i can aim the camera and get the car in the middle and what not...

could do the video i rekin, i could do that better than photos probably.

time keeping sounds easy enough...as long as im where the action is and not tucked away in some shed lol

would be a good way to make my way into the SAU world, SAU Vic in particular which ill be signing up for shortly.

would probably try to get a ride with someone, so yeah...its only a maybe but just expressing an interest :P

You need no qualifications.

Just listen to what James tell you to do.

James - i can do rest breaks for officials when im not having the BBQ firing hard.

I'll also need at least one person to gimme a hand for that... i had 2 last time and that worked well :P

I'll do still photo.

wanna use mine as well? that way u dont have to switch between the zoom and 18-55mm lens and i'll bring the laptop so u can go nuts and take thousands of shots :P

i'm pretty sure i dont have anything on that weekend so i will bring a couple of video cameras for some filming. I dont think my camera mounts will be here in time so if anyone has some internal and external mounts for cameras could be good.

Yeah sure, I'll bring my 300d as a backup as well and we'll see what happens

i have a car mount, http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...dpost&p=1685598

but it was around $900, so im not sure how easily im going to let it get stuck to a car going around a track

lmao for 900 it better stick on pretty bloody good :rolleyes:

the ones i was ordering were like 70 for one tripple suction mount... 50 for the headrest type and another 50 for a window mount.

they'll do the trick for a hobby.

was it a stickypod?

they'd be good for the interior footage

the headrest mounts would be a bit awkward because most cars would have bucket seats

Might be a daft question but can drivers do anything between driving or is there something for drivers at all points during the day i.e different courses?

If drivers can help, let me know, happy to lend a hand.

EDITED: Drivers can't be volunteers, sorry guys, the thought was there :rolleyes:

Sounds like a good idea to me, I sent my membership form off yesterday :P I'll put my hand up. Would be good to meet people besides Scott :rolleyes:

$900 for an external mount??

Sheez!

I bought mine for $98 and I'll be using it all day inside and outside of as many cars as possible (although maybe only outside mine because I'm not 100% confident in it just yet. LOL)

I have taken it for some test drives and it works great so far. But DECA will be the real test.

But for everyone that can come up and help you'll be in the prime spots for when we need you. Free lunch and drinks included for helpers as well.

is there a list of people attending with forum names rather than real names?

that way i can take some steps into seeing if ill hitch a ride if i do infact come.

my car might be sold before this event, and im looking for a little buzz box to get me to work...so that wouldnt be the most fun drive to shep

    • 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.
