made the trek from adelaide to help pit crew the dr30's debut race since 1987.

did really well. the gtr's had a couple of issues, the baffles in the tank of terrys car in race 3 disintegrated and was picked up into the fuel pump and filter.. also the fuel rail popped off of the dr30 during practice on friday, scary moment but other than that it ran beautifully considering its been parked for nearly 20 years.

have hundreds of photos i have to upload from the pit wall and around the dummy grid etc. was a great experience.

In the Friday qualifying session Terry clocked a 1:44.9819! thats one for track guys who are going to phillip island in april for the wrx club day to think about... :)

Gimme 10inch slicks and 300 less kilos (about the weight difference to my car) and I'd be pretty confident! ;)

That's quick. Almost as quick as Aaron (Aaron34) in his R34 GT-R.

See the thread on what the DR has been doing here

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ge...in-t313783.html

Car will be left as raced, and not restored. It does have to have some paint repaired after the fire.

This was Rod Marklands first outing in the GIO GTR after his HR31. He was having trouble adjusting to the car, which I think is understandable. He spun in Race 4 at the end of the straight.

Terry had fuel pickup issues in race three, after the foam in the fuel cell started breaking down.

The HR31 has been sold to a local fellow, who will be bringing it out to play with us at most of the future events.

The RX7 wasn't disqualified, but his position wasn't logged, as the car didn't have a log book.

This is an awesome event, heaps of people on the Sunday, and lots of folks thrilled to see the GIO GTR and the DR back out there again. I couldn't beleive how popular the DR30 was.

As always the Winfield number 1 car was immaculate. I am so in awe of this car.

I had a ball, and thanks to all the helpers, and people who travelled from Adeladie to give me a hand with the car.

Hi Cazz, i'm glad its out racing again, it is what it was built for after all. That little bit of yellow under the bonnet just adds to the race car look, I wouldn't worry about it. :O

Someone did a great job cleaning up all that dry powder, messy stuff and gets everywhere.

I saw a crazy Skyline lady getting into the red R35, was that you?

Cazz, the DR is jsut awesome, watched those youtoobs and i tellya... im a fan!!!!

I love the noise from the gearchanges. If you watch Seto driving his DR at Bathurst 1987 in the wet, his car makes exactly the same noises. Going to be really interesting to see if I can actually change gears in this thing lol.

I have just loved the DR's since I saw Gavin's car. Until then, I didn't know much about them, but what a tough little car they are.

Craig at the wheel of the DR, slamming the dogbox into gear. :O

Good videos there. If I'd known this event was on I probably would have headed down to watch.

I imagine the guy in the VL was in need of a new pair of underwear after that off!

      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?

      R34 N/a And R34 Turbo (gtt) Transmission.. Uh, Problem.

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      @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?

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
