Bris - check out the track event dates thread at the top of this section.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=98397

I dont think they are back there until October. :D

PS. We got these dates at the start of the year, so they may have changed. Best bet is to check the Maserarti website.

Hmm, i dont have a significant other to help finance my addiction :

If work clears up a little i can hopefully get a weeks leave to get the car sorted, its goign to be difficult.

...unless Al wants to co-enter his car...LOL...with my semis on it will beat Scotsman ;)

I would bet money on it :P

If it was 2 weeks later i would have been a much better chance.

Does anyone know when Maserati are next back at Sandown?

...as for Blue vs White R34...your bith lucky they wont be getting the Silver Bullet up their ass, completely out of control under brakes...something to do with running out of talent trying to keep up :D

White paint is lighter than blue paint so Snowman needs more POWER !!!!!!!

Good to see Snowball having a crack after so long, gonna be an interesting group of cars, I'll chase Snowy, Snowy can chase Aaron, Aaron can chase Frank, Frank can chase Sam...

Oh, and Scotsman should be in the same boat as me..... providing all the above people are racing on the day..

CAN'T WAIT!!!!

hopefully im in your group so I can chase you :dry:

And I'll be chasing you Ray!

:mellow:

...but I think chasing you could be bad for my/my cars health...

:mellow:

Bris, if you need a pair of unskilled hands to assist you in getting the car ready for sandown, let me know.

Scotsman I think is out. But someone should tell Benno since this event is on a Sunday and he recently missed out on the Maserati Day because of his arm.

And Aaron - Blue paint might be heavier but I make up for it with all the clear coat I'm missing. :mellow:

...its a bit of time, and a bit of money...doesnt look like the brakes will be sorted in time either, so after it takign a bit of time and being done right, dotn want to undo the panel beaters good work by blowing, bending something because i have rushed.

I want to do at least a few long drives and a few hard stops on the new brake setup before gopignt o the track with them...otherwise i may need to grab them back off you for a week.

    • @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 👇🏾
