new people you will need

- fire extinguisher with metal bracket bolted to the car (autobarnz, repco) $50

- blue battery triangle (news agent, blue book contact, scissors, 15cm from point to point or there abouts) $2.50

- long sleeve and pants normal shoes (though they dont tend to like runners...)

- helmet with no cracks or large scratches

And if you are buying tyres shoot me an email. I will be back in July for a wedding ...so if we buy three or 4 sets it would be great if we could get them for 20 or so less a tyre. What are they these days for a 255/40/17 and 245/45/17? $400???

Yeah it has been a while for you hasn't it Troy...

245/40/17 is like $460. Budget for 2k and you might get change...

Trouble, in the morning sessions I used to shirt shift and only use part throttle on boost on the front straight. It was hard to go any quicker then 1:28-1:30, but was good opportunity to check tyre pressures and get some practice on lines etc in. Then after the lunch sessions normally i would get two sessions in. If they EPA ewre still around i would be warned then kicked off....but that only happened twice. Generally they are gone after the morning sessions and you then have the afternoon to go as hard as you dare.

Thats part of the reason with the new setup i am going plumb back. Not sure if its going to help sincei have a titanium exhaust, but the second or so morning session is normally the quickest session of the day and its good to get 4-5 proper sessions in rather then waste the morning by tootling around :thumbsup:

Hey all, Newbie to SAU.

Definitely want to take the R32 to this meet.

Do I need to organise my CAMS before the event? Or can I bring the form and get it done on the day?

If the later, what do I fill in as my competition license number on the entry form?

First SAU event for me & the car so super excited!

Cheers!

Do it before the event mate. Just put TBA on the form and give them licence number on the day

I'd be down for that maybe later in the year. been meaning to try out the new advans

For what car?

straight pipe?

shame about the noise restrictions, EPA are always killing fun.

if anyone wants a bit more meaning out of the 75db at 30m restriction, here's a link that can calculate that into another db figure at a different distance.

troy was talking about his screamer from the gate being vented to atmosphere. my new car has the same turbo setup that he has on the 32.

i think i might get a pipe made up to plumb mine back into the exhaust if i get done for noise.

Cheers Russman!

Have sent in my CAMS today and will register online for the event this arvo!

Bringing my R32 GTS-t down, pretty much stock, just want to turn a few laps to find out where I need to spend some money and to have a bit of fun!

I could bring my mustang down for a laugh but think I'd rather have something that stops & turns! :)

Catch you all there!

    • 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.
