i can agree with that. its nice to get out there and have a fast run through the twists but there is no point gettin up behind someone pushing them to the point that they endanger themselves and others on the road. not everyones cars are set up as well as other too! once again great day had my.... most lol. soz, forgot to blank out plates in the few pics i put up too!

brett

one of the smarter things ive heard :O

Sounds like u all had a good time! Ill have to catch u all on the next one :(

Who owns the bayside blue R34GTR? :worship:

i feel so sorry for cheez, hope everything goes ok with claim process dude, keep us informed.

Do u really think that was necessary to make public?

yes an awsome days outing (apart from the obvious :worship: )

lol dought it was me pushing the ppl in front of me as the only stocky i saw there i was decidedly embarresed :(

certanly some nuts cars there yesterday and was great to see everyone havin a gd time

my only beef is with the pub we got lunch at... anyone else hav a chicken parma... omg worst. parma. ever.

Thanks for the great cruise Daniel! We had an awesome time. I don't think I've been down that back way home before, but those roads were brilliant - loved every minute of it!!

See ya all at the next cruise :worship:

btw, I'll post my pics up soon.

Re: Ferrari - was that the F430 coupe or Spider?

We saw a coupe coming the other way, a spider with personalised plates in Lorne.... but one of my customers was out in our red F430 Spider coming back from Apollo Bay via the Ottways too.

    • 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.
