Hey Bard. If you are coming along you can have a thrash of my car :D

I will be there at the start to get it all runnig, but i have to leave around2pm....so no point in me taking a spot for this one :laugh:

Next one, for sure!!!

Aw wish i could go to this one! My birthday party is that night and i'll be setting up for it during the day :laugh:

I really enjoyed the last one i went to, guess i'll try and get into one around Jan/Feb and have another go :D

double skipdan would be awesome.

Keets, if you want to have SOME part in this event, i dont mind taking your R for a lap or 3. I have a good reord of keeping cars on the black stuff. I do have 1 or 2 indiscretions are on record though. (have about 10 more off record haha)

Yeeeaaaaah...about that aaahhh...I'm gonna have to go ahead and say aahhh no.*sip coffee*

Next time Bard :blink:

Lol.

1. Tyres not come - called up. Money bounced back - entered wrong account number. Repaid there and then. (Over east)

2. Ossy park for a helmet.

3. Frantically rang tyre places trying to find some 245-275 tyres, 2nd hand.

4. Found one in ossy park, got down there @ around 10am, only to find they had no record of the phone call we had earlier. Thankfully one of the lil indian dudes put his hand up and found 2x 255s

5. Problem, golf at 11am. (Wheels at home, rolling on mates rims)

6. Rush home, rush back with car full of wheels, deposit wheels to tyre place. Rush off to golf.

7. Golf canceled, rush back to tyre place and stuff wheels back in car (they wanted $50 to fit them, rofl).

8. Put wheels on, with cheap rear tyres, go home and tell sau about it!

This better be good :rofl:

Go to Helmet House in East Vic Park. He has DOT, SNELL & AS approved full face for $129.00. OK for events like this, would consider something better if you have aspirations of becoming the next Schumacher :rofl:

    • 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.
