I'd leave that one to the V8/Holden boys and girls.

I think it has nothing to do with the cylinders, or manufactuer of your vehicle!!!

An awesome person (who was also a major car enthusiast) has passed away and as fellow car enthusiasts ourselves, showing our respects through a 'memorial cruise' has nothing to do with what type of category our cars fall into.

We can all miss him equally-regardless!!

RIP-Brocky

exactly :(

If you were Peter Brock what would you think is a fitting tribute?

He was a genius and a great role model to many, many people, a small mark of respect from our community will not be disrespected by anyone, in fact it could be a chance to show others that we are just like them when it comes to hero worship and the respect due to a legend.

im keen for it either way weather holden or nissan he was a great driver .. respect to him and his family, we could have a cruise for him and steve irwin both where top blokes

um, bit out of line there, don't you think Mud?

you don't have to be a V8/Holden person to have liked/looked up to Peter Brock

perhaps if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all?

just saying would be more fitting if they did it.

no disrespect meant at all.

that's all.

No disrespect taken, can see what you are getting at. He was after all predominately famous for bathurst in a Holden. But give credit where credit is due, he was an icon for motorsport, regardless of what he drove

just saying would be more fitting if they did it.

that's all.

Why?

He raced all sorts of cars...

he raced Volvos, BMW's, Ford Sierra's (4 cylinder turbos, which i happened to own one of in the past), Toranas (Which is a muscle-car i want to, and have always wanted to, build as a project, later in life)

so i don't see how saying we should 'leave it up to them' really fits?

Peter Brock and Dick Johnson were heros to me when i was a child.

My first car was an LJ Torana, Just like Brock's, ive still got a poster with a young Peter walking away from his beautiful XU1 with long hair and all...

RIP Brock'y was a pleasure to meet the man and share a ride around QLD Raceway 3 years ago.

Enought from me...

Cruise, i would prefer to sit back and have a BBQ and a beer and watch Bathurst this year. I think this years bathurst will be a special day. Ill be waking up early for bacon and eggs and I be planted in front of the tv all day with a esky close by and ill be thinking of him. My childhood hero.

For us oversea's noobs..does anybody mind just quickly explaining who and what he did for Aussie motorsport? Ive read about him a little bit and heard of his name but sadly nothing of his background :P

Was he on a par to Senna?? or Allan Jones? Was he ever a Nissan driver? Thank you :O

    • @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 👇🏾
