Where To Find: Nice Open Area (i.e. Carpark) For Learner


Recommended Posts

Hey guys I have a friend who is still on her L's and she's not really confident to drive on the roads yet (No she's not driving my car lol) she has an Excel.....don't laugh...I know its hard, but anyway I was wondering if anyone knows of a big open space where she wont hit anything (Although i really wouldn't worry about that since I doubt we'll be going fast enough to do significant damage). I know in the Canada IKEA would have massive carparks but I haven't seen such here anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

Also something totally unrelated, awhile ago I saw this Deca (or similar video of 2 Skylines battling) I think it was on YouTube, the course seemed like one of the harder teirs, and was wondering if anyone knows what i'm talking about, the significant feature of the vid is that the cars were almost in complete unison throughout the course. It was quite amazing and I really want to find and bookmark it, thanks for you help

EDIT: Just realized.....Don't hurt me Lauren! I love Excels I really do....I'm a wannabe Excel owner deep down inside honest!

EDIT2: Were located near the Caulfield East Area

Take her to Shepparton. I hear there is this big skid pan there where you can go nuts all day.

As for Deca, na, never heard of it.

:)

Caufield east? Easy.

Just drive up dandy rd about 10mins or so. There is a masive carpark on the right @ the sandown hotel or whatever. Usually fairly quiet later on @ night on a weeknight. Ensure you have a driver off thier P's though. P's cannot instruct.

As for youtube - just use "DECA SAU" etc as option, you'll find heaps

Hahah sign up for the next one, it's soon, otherwise you should come and watch, from what I've seen so far it's pretty wicked

Thanks a lot will definitely check it out, and just spent about an hour youtubing it can find this particular one lol, thanks anyway, and thanks for the warning about the P's I'm on my Full, have been for awhile but I appreciate the heads up

monash uni clayton campus

....Oh yea that place is almost like a mini testing ground, alright will give that a go

Any Bunnings car park after 9pm

....*Duh* :( that's like exactly what I'm looking for, feel stupid not thinking about it before, thanks

....I just found this icon :( ...wtf

^^ Really i'd appreciate it if you upload it, I thought it was a really good example of the DECA and I want to show my friends so thy will come up and watch with me

James I ahve approx 600 Deca vids on my Work pc and more at home..(may gig's worth..) thus why need some mroe info as to exactly what cars they are.

these are just the ones I have done myself there are a number of other people who have posted vids as well..so more info the better.

Once again I will be at this one doing some taping..(just hoping some-one can point my camera at me as my usual crew are unavailable)

I keeping an eye out on this thread for potential skinpan areas lolz

northland carpark had very little things to hit and alot of open space; next to the copshop

always packed now johnny, cause of the rennovations going on to the back carpark

serz; been over a year since ive been to northies. What renovations did they do?

I memba my good ol 200sx days where i would have my own private skidpan at 3am on a tuesday

theres this big old stockyard carpark place next to dandy station down cheltenham rd that everyone uses to teach their learner kids friends. ive even seen someone practice their motokahn mini sprint there with witches hats and all.

might be a bit out your way though.

    • Unless things that you want to do include reference to time. Simple Boolean logic is only good for digital inputs or analogues that have been thresholded into digitals. But unless you also have a timer function available (which would more ideally be located inside the program, rather than being forced to implement a timer outside the ECU and bring it in as a seperate digital for every time delay you want to implement), then you can't do some of the things that you might want to do. My PLC ladder logics are obviously littered with program blocks, because that's easier than building it all in ladder gates, but the most frequent of those program blocks is a simple timer, because you actually can't otherwise do that in ladder at all.
    • Log voltage. I'm suspecting the alternator. Or even maybe a bad earth somewhere. ie, seeing as it is rev dependent, I am thinking it is alternator dependent.
    • Yeah so N1 and any other larger than factory pump are pretty famous for pumping the sump dry...obviously we don't often get to spend 20 or 30 seconds at high rpm/full noise on the road so I'd still be suspicious that is what is happening here.
    • You are also getting pressure dips on gear shifts. They're just not dipping as far, but they're dipping quite below the amount of oil pressure you should be seeing, for how much RPM drops.   It quite little could be the oil pressure relief valve is starting to stick open a little/is slow to close.
    • Can you log battery voltage, and TPS, and put all four of those into a single image (even as split graphs)?   The oil pressure drops aren't following RPM as such. I'm intrigued if you may have a ground loop between different sensors. With the engine not running, log your sensors and for example cycle the throttle pedal. See if any sensor values flutter or move about. This won't be a perfect test either as the ECU won't be cycling all of its actuators like it would be while running. What EMTRON do you have? Do you have a link to the wiring guide for that ECU?
