Soz Guys, didn't make it.

Car still being completed, should be Ok by Weds.

I COULD have made one in the "Super" Feroza 4Wd Dung-beetle, but you guys would have been hanging around for me.

S'pose I would have "Saught" permission to tag-along if the weather had been more... shall we say... Nice.

Hope everyone is havin a blast all the same... I WANNA go to next one for sure though... Dung-beetle or otherwise.

Put me on list of "Ins" for next one.

BTW, what happened to the Thursday eve meet etc in truck-stop, .. does this happen still?

i'm still a bit drunk

wats the go with the weather and organised cruises seriously. its been raining for the past 5 cruises ffs. i say next cruise, we organise it a week ahead. no more of this 2 month plan bs coz it never works out well.

Edited by Alien

twas good fun but the weather kept getting worse, the drive back was quite frisky.

next time i propose we have a 3week probation cruise. that means if its good one weekend lets just GO. last weekend we had 29degree weather!!!!!

nevertheless was a good turnout which goes to show we're not afraid to get our turbos wet

Thanks for everyone that came along

a few wrong turns hahahaha but we made it eventually

Also got a little mixed up on the way back to the Nasho

I just got home about 20 minutes ago .. im farked now, so tired

nice pics turdey.

someone remind me not to follow whoever i followed on the way home, again!

completely missed going through nasho with the main group farken.

we turned right and pulled over straight away and waited..

and just saw everyone go straight .. :thumbsup:

    • @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 👇🏾
