BUT hang on ...first of all, I better spend some money on a detailer to get rid of all that dust and grass that's floating around in my car :D

LOL didn't that dusbuster work george!?? Ha ha

Was good meeting you mate! And after having jb in yr car your times dropped!! Well done!

LOL ..I got ripped off with that dustbuster!!!!! Yeah Bozman was awesome, he gave me some handy tips....I'll definately go faster next time because I'll put the bad thoughts out of my mind (i.e. thinking I'm going to write off my car and maybe hurting myself) and give it that 20-30% more... can't wait for the next track day

You guys sound like you had a ball!! :)

Spewn I wasnt out there :)

So did you all learn new things??

Great Times guys! Keep up the good work :)

yeah learnt that car control comes mainly from the feet, not the hands....

amen to that mate! now that you have experienced the rush of being on a track, those first time jitters will be gone for good and you can have confidence in your ability!

Just remember to drive within your capabilities and dont push or be pushed too hard... thats when things go ugly :)

I've been talking to Chubs and I'm seriously considering entering the June 12th Oran Park GP day...A little nervous though since I only just started getting the hang of the South Circuit and now I got some more track to learn . AND, I'm also seriously considering getting an EVO dedicated track car, but then i'd have to get rid of my daily EVO....

You should do it mate!! Seriously for $100 + membership this is by far the cheapest ever chance to run on OP GP!!!! To be honest OP South has the trickiest parts IMO. apart from the kink at the end of the straight, the rest is pretty straight forward!

LOL you cant sell the EVO already!!!! Just do some mods to your current one and you will be hooting around very quickly!!!

    • @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 👇🏾
