Morning Mangs,

+1

Been here since 7, for that entire time managers have been sitting here with their morning chit-chat routine, preventing me from wasting time on SAU etc :D

How was the weekend?

Good. Won the WDC in a williams, and got a drive in a red bull alongside hitler's youth for next season. G27 is kick arse.

Also regreased all my bushes (that's what she said), car is considerably less squeaky now. Brakes still a bit squeaky and so are the front swaybar links. The swaybar links are pillowball with no grease nipple - I'm not sure how to lube them up. Ideas?

MTB is at the shop to day to get the gears adjusted and brakes fixed up. He didn't seem too optimistic about the brakes though :down:

Sounds like a successful weekend. It was raining all weekend on the coast so I did some assignmenting at uni on Saturday arvo then went home had kfc watched movies and played poker. Sunday I did all my shopping and cleaned the unit then played more poker lol. Played 6k hands and broke even. So lame.

Good moaning.

Morning Mangs,

It was ok. Got stuck inside on Saturday due to the rain and had to watch the AFL GF. It wasn't so bad as I had beers, chips and other assorted artery hardening food stuffs.

Moar grease on teh brakes?? :D

The only way Ican think to lube up the swaybar endlinks is the remove them.

So glad I didn't have to watch either of those GFs... GayFL FTL.

Yeah need to borrow Dan's copper grease again so I can lube them up.

I can remove them, but how to i get grease into the pillowbally bit without a grease nipple?

Nice fail recipe

Mangs,

Weekend was decent. Went to Movie World on Saturday and got some cool t-shirts. Watched some LOST and ate KFC on Sunday.

TAFE is boring today. All repeat info on OH&S. Might pass the time with some Stephen King.

how so?

Probably f**ked calipers. Bleed them up but can't get any feel to them.

f**kin win. The 31 is going to be in a movie :(

WinRar

Do it, you skirt

Got outbid on the head because I'm too much of a lowballer for the buy it now price. Auction didnt meet the reserve anyway but ahwell.

    • @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 👇🏾
