Car should be ready wednesday/thursday, providing there are no issues when she is first fired up *fingers crossed*

If all goes well, i might be bringing a few shire fellows with me. And BizzRrevhead (how ever u spelt his nickname, dude with the R32 with number plates "R32") MIGHT be tagging along with me. Sproosy MIGHT be tagging along with me also, all depends on their night before :P Will prolly end up solo tho >_<

woah! this is getting outta control!!!!!! lol! hope the pub can handle us all!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring snacks for yourself! lol! just incase :D it could be a loonnnggg wait!

oh! AND A FULL TANK OF PETROL :D

and yay sam!!!! hi5! :)

jago.. you better get your act into gear :) and tell sproose he can leave the fa**ing for one day at least! :(

looks like we'll also have a few talented photographys along! so wash those babies and slap on the wax!

and ooo mr tumnus!!! will be good to have a nice mix of cars and some hot evos to drool over :(

Mintie

I might meet you lot there, unless im picking up passangers on the way, as i have NFI where thornleigh is. Sure i could use a map, but who uses maps these days?

And there better be snaps of my car, it's been neglected for a good 6 months :) (off the road for that ammount of time too :( )

As for sproose moose, he does allot of night shifts so ya =[

And as for getting my act into gear, well, they are doing the best they can :D (i gave up doing it myself due to unreliable industrial suppliers near my work *cough* tungsten carbide drill bits *cough* bastards *cough*). So it's a mad dash to the finish line. But, he said it will be ready wed/thurs providing there aren't any engine issues when it goes to get fired up :D

Now, everyone pray :)

hahaha mintie better make that meet at 6am so we arrive at 8am at Hungry Jacks

lol man it ok..we will be on time mate

oh forgot to mention..........acouple of us will be at the car wash behind hungry jack on sat nite about 8pm onward if anyone want to come and have a org skyline car wash...lol

This sounds like fun. Im a big maybe though because I have no speedo, & HICAS is playing up a bit. I can still drive it but shes a bit heavy so not sure if its all in all worth it.

I'll confirm if or not I can make it.

well im out still have no radiator for my car. The HICAS is playing because you have no speedo, Fix the speedo and the HICAS will be better.

*sigh*. Car is back, runs GREAT, sounds GREAT, except on corners. My exhaust is hitting my tailshaft due to a shitty bracket. I will desperately be trying to fix it at work tomorrow in my spare time or seeing if i can get it back to the workshop for a quick fix. If it isn't fixed, i will either have to drive like an old lady (or worse) or won't be able to come (worst case scenario) :(

me n the misses headin from out west will come, but no time to clean the beast for the cruise.... thas jus bad manners eh try a late thursday clean ^^

cant wait to park mine an pretend its someone else's next to all these schmick rides you got ^^

    • @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 👇🏾
