i'll even put money on it. will you?

I'll quite happily take $1000 off your hands.

The car will be finished in about 12 months so you have a chance to get some practice in, You'll need it.

take the cash and the respect have we been watching to much fast n furious lately????

race for pinks man pinks :banana:

this is why i like regular sports better, a battle of who's better player as opposed to who dumps the most $$ around the place

play nice kids :D

Not in this case my friend. We are currently building a car very similar to Dales new project, with the same power to weight ratio of a v8 touring car for less than $10,000 ,a fraction of the price of a built GTR . Very fast cars have been built for alot less and there are also sedan classes , mid mount an RB in anything light like a silvia= alot of fun.

Dirt circuit is currently the largest motor sport in S.A With aprox 400 + cars but is largely unknown in Adelaide ( Although a track within 100km of the CBD is in the planning). Speeds of 200kph are regularly achieved on the 9 tracks in S.A . Its not oval racing its circuits including straights chicanes and hair pins, club membership is $30 a year and $10 entery fee per race meeting which makes it the fastest cheapest motor sport around, anyone keen? There's nothing like drifting a car at 150 kph+ with 8 other cars inches away, especially when you are blitzing a blown 600hp mid mounted chev in your jap powered weapon :banana: .

yeah wouldnt mind checking out that some time, maybe im a dirty bastard at heart :banana: where you do that at? sau club cruise time :P

The next round of the State championships are at Pt Pirie in two weeks (oct long weekend) on the sunday, racing starts at 8:30 am . I think they already have about 100 cars nominated. I would love to see you skyline boys up there, I think you guys will enjoy it. You will see every thing form well engineered big hp space frame cars to wrecking yard mad max style cars all thrown in together. Guys up at Ceduna are currently building a space frame R32 GTR, but it may not be ready in time. If you guys are keen to come up give Matt at Growly Custom Maching a call (0447739992) and he will help you out.

I have 4 spare seats going up to Pirie. I was going to go with Matt but he has a car full now and he's staying over night. So if anyone wants to come up and have a look send me a PM, but it'll be an early one. I'll be leaving at 7:00am to get up for the first race.

where heading to kadina that weekend

It's not to much further to Pt Pirie after the show on Saturday, Crash up there for the night and show the 1000 commmodore drivers doing mainys some decient cars.

that is an interesting idea :banana:

does it cost much to watch :P could be fun aslong as we dont get the natives attacking our cars :D

Normally about $10 to get thru the gate. Bring your own alcohol, deck chair and sit back and watch the mayhem.

Car parking is around the track so you can basically sit in front of your car, Its all pretty casual.

I went to Arno Bay to watch a race meeting on Sunday and it was $5.00 to get in but i have a feeling the State Champs will be $10.00. I very sure that you don't have to worry about your cars people are generally respectful in the country.

Ha ha ha!! Man i couldnt help but read this forum. Full on. This ax 34Gtr dudes a mass 'hero'. Dale, you still have time to go on SAU even though u went to the country for a wedding? thats dedication.

Blue32 took some 1400 pics from turn 1, hope he can get them up soon.

The mirage was increadible, I thought the timing was not working at the time! Dam sight faster than I was in the wet!

Thanks to the officials on the day, a tight ship helps the event stay on track and run to the best it can for everyone involved. Well done.

Not only are my Autech Stagea and R32 GTR dead, but we also had a real death in the family too :-( This has slowed me down more than a bag of sugar in your fuel system, but here are some of the pics of the power boat championships track day wet at Mallala.....

    • 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.
