Question: Do you have to be a SAU VIC financial member? (asking for a friend) as on the forms asks about car club, and also will say a ford club be ok? or does it have to be SAU?

Emailed forms, will pay the $85 now also.

another question, when do we find out if we in or didnt make it in the event?

What ya mean? :D if you paid and signed forms by the time the list gets to 50 your in ;), and you get a full day of driving regardless if your going for times or not its not like a knockout or anything like that

WTF is with this 'cheater car' bullshit, im reading it everywhere lately.

Aint jealousy a bitch.

I hear GTRs handle like a boat on the front end on the tight skidpan :s I shall find out soon!.. if so.. nothing a few clutch kicks cant fix aye!

i meant if i did make in the first 50 to make the list..when is any sort of confirmation expected...that what i meant...

Just check the front page. Ryan periodically updates it with new entries as confirmed. Last update was "As of 11/10 1545"

Femno: Sedan vs Wagon, Turbo vs NA, AWD vs RWD... well you get the idea :D

No biggie, but I dont remember buying a GTST?........ :D

Take off front driveshaft, and tell people it's 33 GTST 40th Anniversary.

Look at post #2, if your name is in the entry list means you're in.

Get boat licence while you're at it. Clutch kicks did nothing for me when I did last DECA... Will have to try harder.

When the poor bloke dealing with 100 pages coming out of his fax machine, I'm sure it'll be updated.

Entries officially opened today, reasonable to expect it might take 1-2 days for things to be processed.

Hehe Shane I thought you wrote GTST on your entry form since you were ashamed of driving a cheater car ;)

I wouldn't call it cheating, I'm just using any advantage I can get to make up for my (lack of) ability :D

    • 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.
