Just moved down to Sydney last week. Would be good to meet some other enthusiasts down here. I'll prob be the only one that doesn't know anyone there, but count me in.

I tell you your roads down here are ... !? Feel every bit of it too.

Hopefully some of u can give me some pointers on where i can find some nice roads (Equivalent to Sunshine Coast Hinterland, for those who have been to qld).

Welcome to SAU :worship:

Can definatly show you some good roads soon ....I feel a cruise coming on :banana:

See you tomorrow night :happy: Also I hope you enter you car in Show and Shine!!!!!!!

nvm that! I'm in :D

Hi5!!! :banana:

chatswood :( ill be spending more on fuel then ill be spending on the dinner. not sure if i can make it out that far tomorrow night.

:yes: Thats ok Nick, Wish you came to last month's was at Mean Fiddler, but I might bring a dinner to you in the coming months, well at least out west somehere :3some: see what happens

I'm in Jess, love the past dinners that you've put on in the past so I cant miss this one. :worship:

Look forward to catchin up with the regulars & new peeps 2moz, I have to admit the food at the Northern is top shelf & complimented with a beer or two is da bomb ( great atmosphere ). :banana::3some:

C u all soon :yes: .

HHmmmm another one who claims the Great Northern as a local watering hole.... I have actually met another Ian up there too... will find out next Thurs :D

Thats right..........being 2K's down Mowbray begs the difficult decision some nights. Do I drive or spend the buck 70 on bus fare to get up there.

The Busdriver doesnt stop sometimes so........ :D

I will be up there with friends as usual so prob be mixin between the 2 groups. :P

if someone can bring a members form, i can only stop in for just a bit. :P

I can bring one for you, no worries, But this is not a members only event

Everyone is welcome :D

Thats a shame you cant stay for long

another great event organised by jess, thanks it was good to see everyone yet again....

watching ando clean up the pokies and pool was pretty cool.... pitty he still drives a taxi!

hope loose pants were worn after i left!!

I am sooo hungover right now......

back to bed for me :D

great to see everyone again and soory if I got waaaay to smashed!

Ando - how was the long walk home? :(

Nick - your mrs is lovely ;) and get her to come to DECA!

I need a panadol!

Haha chubbs was smashhhhhed!

I need more panadol!

All,

Something urgent has come up and I won't be able make tonights gathering. Have a good night n catchas another time.

I was wondering where you had got too...Hope to meet you soon :cheers:

Thanks everyone for coming was a great dinner and I had fun as usual :(

Was nice to catch up :cheers:

We will have to do it again soon.......

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @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.
