WHILE YOU WAIT: There will be a Sausage Sizzle, a raffle with some awesome prizes and some vehicle displays.

DESTINATION: Carrara Sports Complex - Nerang Broadbeach Rd - Nerang (Exit off the M1 directly leads to this venue. Exit 69)

ARRIVE: Est 11am.

AFTER YOU ARRIVE: Emerald Lakes Golf Course (Opposite the Carrara Stadium) is having a FUN DAY, it is a GOLD COIN to enter and there is a heap of activities, free drinks (suppiled by Coca Cola) and things to do over at the Golf Course. There will be games for people to play, and prizes to be won, all being organised and supplied by Emerald Lakes Golf Course.

Thats it. It doesnt get much simpler than this, and for such a great cause to support. The reason for this is to get the message of Bravehearts out there in the open more, and for a COMMUNITY to band together and support something. (And by community I mean 'us hoons'.) This is a chance to really make an impact and perhaps, just perhaps change public perception a little bit.

All funds raised from Donations, Raffles, and entry to Emerald Lakes is for the benifit of Bravehearts

Hi all, thanks to Shane for putting this up for me.........here is the rest of the info, Ill be checking back to answer any questions people may have.

Howdy all,

Well it's been sometime since I dusted off my cruise boots and got something happening, and a unique oppurtunity has crossed my path, so I have decided to put a few things together and have another big event.

This time with NATIONAL news coverage, AND a Police Escort.

Some may be aware, some may not, but I am the current Gold Coast Ambassador, and also an Ambassador for Bravehearts, a charity that protects and councils children affected by sexual abuse, and the benificiary of the funds raised by this cruise.

And it will be a MASSIVE event. This will be your chance to have your car shown on NATIONAL news, in a GOOD light, and showing that the 'hoon' community can do some good. I have also gotten the BUACA (Bikers United Against Child Abuse) organisation bringing all their members as well, and Mack Trucks supplying a large contigent of trucks to join the convoy.

This cruise isnt about a long drive, in fact the drive itself will take approx 40mins, however, it is the cause that is important. Child abuse is something that must be brought into the light as often as possible, as many times this kids cant protect themselves, and have their lives shattered by those they thought they could trust.

All I ask, is that EVERYONE able to attend, come along to this event, the meeting place WILL be a bit chaotic, and it will be a mission to get everyone out and moving effectivly, so the Police have been engaged to provide assistance in keeping lights open, and intersections free, as well as providing an escort for the trip itself. They have ASSURED me, they will NOT be setting up defect stations or the like, (for those who wish to be negative and try and stir that up).

So without further adu I will give you some details, please also see attached PDF file for poster if you want more info.

If you are a member of a Car club, such as the Monaro Club, I REALLY want to try and get some of these car clubs on board, this will be great exposure for you. Please contact your Club Presisdent and see what he/she has to say on the matter, if they wish to contact me I can be reached via PM here, or on 0413 994 137, Phonecall being the best way to reach me atm, as things are a little chaotic!

So yeah, thats about it. Lets make this MASSIVE. Get ya car on National News, and have it shown in a GOOD light, all the while supporting a cause that really needs all your help.

This is even one event were some younger drivers might even invite their parents. This is all about a GOOD cruise. What we all love and enjoy.

Of course it goes without saying that stupid behaviour will not be tolerated on this cruise. I really don't think anyone would be THAT dumb to ruin something that could be so good.

Take care.

Chris

p.s the title is obviously a bit of fun, im sure all can appreciate that.

p.p.s for your reference I have been running events like this for a LONG time. Hope you can make it!

Please note the following!! :::

I am concerned about lack of space at the venue, however, this is the place the Bravehearts Assoc have chosen as their meeting venue.

That was out of my hands PLEASE be aware of this. Traffic will be NASTY on the day until we hit the M1.

Thankyou.

Godamnit this sucks! It sounds great, but we're going to be in Sydney (again) for the VIC invasion track day. Hope everything goes well.

It'd be great to get out with the old girl, now she has her new engine, and she's finally running well, but oh wells. You'll have to make sure lots of piccies are posted!

Cheers, Anna

Howdy Miss Anna :mellow: Hope you are doing well.

This is a cruise for EVERYONE, this isn't 'forum' restricted, I welcome, in fact, encourage 'all' clubs to attend, as you will recieve National News coverage, and it will show your club in a positive light.

Also, for donations to Bravehearts, there will be a markee set up in the morning for people to make donations. A reciept will be given, (tax deductable) I ask all to give deeply, this is what Bravehearts rely's on to help young kids, who can't help themselves.

This cruise is a win/win event, the more that see that the better, so please spread the word.

      R34 N/a And R34 Turbo (gtt) Transmission.. Uh, Problem.

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      @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

      R34 Handbrake light saying ON and intermittently flashing

      By RB25inside · Posted

      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?

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      R34 Handbrake light saying ON and intermittently flashing

      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?

      R34 Handbrake light saying ON and intermittently flashing

      By RB25inside · Posted

      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 👇🏾
