we rocked up at uas TRACK (not drift) day

op prick at gate charged father and I $15 to watch amateurs who'd already paid for a private practice day to drive around the track

i asked what was the $15 for, the op lady said to cover insurance

cops arse

pricks

sigh, i had to stay home for the gtr parts from danh.

how was it victor, anything shocking?

not really, pretty tame.. well it was my first time going to track day so wouldnt have anything to compare with.

but no real problems, besides the odd car breaking down etc... John's Z and Neil's cars were awesome!

Doodz! No photos? You promised. Who else has some?

Well anyway I had a great time and I don't think I was alone there.

Thank you very very very very much to the volunteers who did the flag marshalling all day. I really appreciate the effort and sacrifice you all made.

We would have got going a bit sooner if everyone arrived a bit earlier, but as per usual track days, by the end of the day people are tired, they've run out of fuel (2 of us ran out on the track :D), some break down or whatever and we end up getting good track time late in the piece.

Thanks for the beer Oz and the race. You had me with those slicks but only just. :)

I think the funniest part of the day was about lunch time when it was all hands and spanners on deck for skyline maintenance but the rotaries were all running sweet! Tables turned for once!

I'm not sure when exactly the lap times will be posted on Natsoft but whoever notices first, post up here. I know I got 1:25's earlier in the day but it remains to be seen what came of the later sessions.

Fatz, that thing is a weapon, and I mean that literally. :(:) Nah, give it some brakes and minitubs and it should be right. I now know your secrets to quick lap times though... Short cuts!!! I'm not kidding for those of you who didn't make it, that cloud of dust was the classic fatz short cut, not an off. The difference is control!!!

We ended up with great weather, bit of sun, some clouds and a few spots on the windscreen at one stage but nothing came of it. Had a great time.

Good to see so many newbies out there. Are you hooked yet?

I had the BEST fun ive had in aages today. It was awesome!! Big thanks to Abo Bob for lending me some tools, and giving me some good training at the start of the day :D

I ended up with a 1:30 half way through the day, but felt a bit quicker later on..

Thanks for all the volunteers time today, you helped make it an awesome day!

Now, to get my fuel filler fixed after spewing liters and liters of fuel all over the place! :D

We need photos people!

oh yeah, your car sounded just bloody awesome primordial too bad about the fuel filler, would've love to hear that car going around a couple more laps. Next time I hope my car will be ready for the track

What a great day, thanks to Adam and co for eveything to make this day very enjoyable for all. Thanks Adam also for helping me bleed my brakes made a big difference!!!

Lizzy we both know who came out the winner here, everyone! It was an awesome day and to answer Adam's question, YES i'm hooked!

Got my times down to 1.31.6 so very happy first timer :D

MADGTR and Abobob's car were flying!!

Again thanks everyone for a great day and Adam for everything, you are a real credit to SAU :D:D

    • @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.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
