Does anyone have any orange witches hats we could use? Benefits would be two-fold, a safety area and letting others know its an official shoot.

Yes...... I have some at my dads place!.... but I can see more troubles blocking areas with cones and drawing more attention.

I thought if we were all parked in line with hats in front/side it may look more official and less "ready to race" or "trouble", but happy not to.

I think the bottom line is:

Everyone that turns up tonight has an obligation to drive in a safe, responsible way when in the group.

Obey all road rules, indicate, dont speed and basically drive to the conditions.

When we are parked in a group - take into account that there are allot of cars in the group, which means that we will be taking up allot of room, so check around you before you stop and get out, as you might be in the line of traffic (which needless to say is pretty dangerous).

When travelling out to the museum tonight - BEHAVE YOURSELF because if you attract negative attention on the way to this event and the police turn up before we even leave with the intention to book us all we wont have a very good night.

Im not trying to preach and Im not saying that Im an angel on the road, I know that some of us get a bit carried away sometimes at these things so Im just speaking for everyone when I say that to have a great night and for us to all return home safely we need a few guidelines and some common sense.

Ive been to several events since being a member of this forum and only maybe 10 - 15% have ended badly, but the reason for it ending badly was always because of one or two people doing something stupid.

PS I will be the first person taking number plates of idiots, expect police on your door step if play up. Lets not ruin it for others.

PPS Lets have a good night and lots of fun.

So, enough preaching lets get to business, we may have to do 2 sessions depending on time and availability of the locations, if so, we will find out tonight when people are available for a second one preferably on a saturday or sunday for less traffic for things like the tunnel shots etc...

See you there tonight.

...take into account that there are allot of cars in the group...

I'm sorry to do this, but it's a pet hate of mine.

It's 'a lot', two words....

Sorry.

Perhaps my undercover Volvo should go in the lead, the cops never suspect the 'volvo' :wave:

Bullet really forgot to put the full stop on the end, he meant to type allot. short for allotment, but with old age, he didn't see the dot missing *nod nod*

*duck*

Will probably be there a bit early, I'll be the 15 year old eating a chicken in his white R33 haha

Wicked, Scot and I will be in the 4Runner, should be there bout 8. Just about to leave work now and go home collect all the gear

my shoulder is so sore.. I just polished it.. rushed it.. sore.

it?

what about the car? did you polish that too?

if it's sore you should slow down and use some lube man.... lol

j/k

See ya'll in an hour or so ;)

was good fun, cant wait to see the pictures. Shame i was so damed tired and made a fool out of myself

"How do i get it up" and Ladybytes husband (mark?) telling me to turn my wheel left 3 times and i ended up turning it right...

Still, was good to put some faces to names

was a wicked night everybody.

Thankyou all for your patience with everything. I'll get to sorting out the photos tomorrow. Hope everybody enjoyed it.

We'll have to organise another night to do the motion shots threw the parksway tunnel.

Thanks again.

    • @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 👇🏾
