hopefully i get to the main list from the reserves.

at this stage, if i get in, the 32 will have a std turbo setup on it :) so no gate action from me this time.

might get some traction then lol

Get back from overseas on the 19th after 3 weeks away. Could be a good opportunity to take the GTR for a good drive as well as see some great action. Possibilities :)

hey ryan.

any meet point at bp service station?..i'll be coming for drive if i finsh puting my car together again..only waiting for my nismo clutch to arrive. :ermm: ..

naythan.

There usually is a cruise organized from Wallan BP. Around 8 seems the norm. Some one will post a cruise thread closer to the day and it will go from there. Ryan goes up earlier if i'm not mistaken?

Yeah mate, i have absoloutly nothing to do with cruises, someone usually comes up with something.

The field is now 52 cars. The following people are in:

Tim Bryan

Mark Ryan

John Kypri

Just a reminder... Volunteers = Day goes ahead. No Volunteers = Start Drinking at 9am :)

hey naythan

we usually cruise down from Wallan BP at around 6am, but that is mostly because we have to be at the DECA facility by 8am for driver registration and scrutineering.

there may be another cruise leaving later just for those who are coming down to watch, but i'm not sure on that.

Cheers

yay i dropped my skyline off for repairs n paint on thursday so i'm definetly bringing a skyline next year! and ive got 2 other car options for this deca so i may have to pull the ute out. If we change vehicle details, is it ok on the day or prior notice ? i will know what i'm bringing next weekend.

Sorry I have to drop out due to a number of reasons :) so someone can have my spot. Will try and make it up for the night though

bummer man, 1st deca with ur GTR and not coming. Does this mean you got another job ? cars come first :D

Sorry I have to drop out due to a number of reasons :blink: so someone can have my spot. Will try and make it up for the night though

Sorry to hear that Leigh.

As ya have a tripple room booked for both nights can you let Bec know ASAP if they are still needed.

Cheers..WayneO

    • 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.
