Hey Guys and Girls,

Have you every wanted to see what it feels, sounds, and smells like to sit in a Drift Australia car at full noise on Eastern Creek's Drift Australia Circuit?

Have you every thought how much fun would it be in a fully prepared drift car, flat in 4th gear, and kick the clutch as you enter one of the fastest corners on the track?

Have you wondered what it would be like to only be able to see the ripple strip and grass on the inside of the corner as you do this?

Well if you have then read on! :blink:

The Sureflo Drift Team in conjunction with Driving Sports have come up with a taster ride to get you out on the track in their Drift Z, and I'll be steering to make sure you are truly scared :P

The Drift Z.

Fully Built and stripped drift car. (Originally 300zx)

5.7L built V8 with a single turbo setup.

Tremec 6 speed gear box

Widened track, custom panels and body kit.

Full V8 Supercar spec rollcage.

Noise- Custom Sureflo Exhaust with no mufflers, anywhere.

Wheels, big wide 10inch front and rear = SMOKEY!

Fun - Hell yes!

The Ride.

2 full laps of turns 4 through 12 in the Drift Z.

Signed poster and picture with me (The Picture is optional, or it can just be you and the car if you like) at the end of the night.

Cost: $250 or bring a group of 5 and we'll knock another $50 off EACH! ($200pp)

Or

Sponsor the car, or get your company to sponsor the car, with $1000 or more and we'll take you out for free*, and put your company's stickers on the car as well as send you photo's for promotional use for a whole year!

Larger Sponsorship packages are available and are tailored to your needs.

Kidz, we normally charge $800 for 2 laps of only the Drift Australia circuit (turns 10-12), so grab 4 mates, $200 each and come down for a blast!

This cost also includes entry to the whole event which includes 3 drift arena's (Peanut track dry and wet skid pan also), burn out comp, small car show and DJ. It is lots of fun and a good night out.

When.

We are next going out on Friday 25th of June, we'll be on track from 6pm to 10pm, so there is plenty of time to get lots runs in. These events run really smoothly and we have loved going to the 2 we have attended so far. Full Event Details HERE

PM me to book your spot and get excited!

Stay Sidewayz Kidz,

Dan.

Just to avoid further confusion :)

Still a good deal even if you don't get to drive! :P

I've been lucky enough to sit in the passenger seat with this lunatic on numerous occasions and it was a barrel of laughs.

To look out the passenger window back up the straight while the car is sideways,,,screaming it's head off with smoke billowing out the rear is bloody fantastic.

I highly recommend getting your bum in the seat,,,you won't be dissappointed.

Cheers

You crazy old man. I've had him sit in my passenger seat and also been in his, but back in the pretty much standard days.

This would definately be an experience.

Cheers Neil, You will have to come out for a look see again one day, I believe you even get free entry, and if you're real nice I might even let you come in our pits for free too! hehe :D

Ahhh the good old day's... gee I miss them, but the good new days are fun also... :(

Hey guys and girls,

I have managed to spend too much time at work and working on my own car, as a result I have had a chest infection turn into pleurisy and if I'm not careful I can develop pneumonia, so as a result we have scratched this event from our calendar and will be moving all rides to the event on the 23rd of July.

All details will be the same except for the date. Still friday night etc.

I'll update the post when we have more details.

Stay sidewayz kidz,

Dan.

.. but in all seriousness pleurisy and pneumonia are right up there with leprosy on my "things to avoid" list. Hope you get better soon, Dan! Then more sideways :) (oh yeah and spend less time at work.. not less under the car :laugh:)

Thanks mate.

We are planning to make the next event on the 23rd of July, which again is a friday in about 3 weeks time. Same deal except I'm planning not to be sick this time :) (I have administered 3 large glasses of Uncle Chop Chop's recipy :D)

So let me know if you or anyone you know is keen.

Also, Kinks, we need some quality shots taken and I'm hoping you might be able to help us out. If you still have my number then give me a call, if not pm me yours and I'll call you.

Cheers,

Dan.

      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.
