Three things

- I may come, only if we get to calder around 4-5pm, otherwise you only get about 3 runs.

- Do I need a helmet? Can I hire one or whats the deal with that?

- Costs etc?

BTW, who needs semi's.... just go auto/4wd.... if only that was worthy to brag about :mellow:

Too much excuse mate, might as well stay home :P. Calder now open every friday not like back then where it only open every third friday of the month so i believe you'll get more runs.

Shout out on the forum see who can lend you a helmet.

Cost shouldn't be anything over $70 or $50.

any ideas which friday Bass? would love to come down and watch. just one more thing and this probably isnt the section to post but, "with all this interest what are the chances of hiring calder for a skyline 400meter day?" just an idea im sure there are plenty of factors to think about but could it be done??? :O thanks

This Friday. 13th of January.

I've discussed hiring the drag strip with Calder park, but they want like $20k for a day.

Heathcote is a much easier option.

Stay tuned for the SAU drag day this year :O

SAU DRAG day would be nuts!!!

if alot of guys from sau are going anyone wanna cursie up together?

Bass, what time are you leaving your area (mitcham yeh?)?

Ill speak to a friend, see if i can borrow his helmet.

Id wanna leave here as early as possible, as i dont have a citylink pass etc so i dont think 5:30pm friday night city traffic is fun.

I just want a photo with the WEDS on the R34, should look tough, and make sure you do your biggest burnout after the 3rd or 4th run, otherwise the FullBoost guys are likely not to get a photo:)

...and it dawned on, i only have a good pair of tyres, the others got chewed up at DECA, so will have to run you Buudy Club at the front...

Go the low 12s :(

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
