Use this one guys :D

Overall, pretty dismal turnout for an awesome location. More so annoying I guess because so many people said the ole "i will come", only not to show face.

Especially when the NDSOC group could get a good 40 odd cars there for a member base that is probably half of what we have.

Otherwise for the cars that were there, it was an awesome day overall. I managed to get sunburnt, so the weather certainly was not terrible :)

Having the NDSOC (and other groups) made it really interesting with lots of carby equipped machinery in pristine condition to checkout.

Good to see a few people both new and old, given the amount of effort that went into organising this, it was overall a great result.

OK what to say..

First a Big Thanks To Ash & all The Organizers. (good job)

Weather Was Good. (it didn't rain)

Another plus was the Nissan / Datsun Club. (as least it

provided more cars to view)

some photos.

Big thanks to Ash and co. for organising the event. It was a great day, pitty about the turnout though :rolleyes: I guess the crappy weather the day before didn't help.

What were the results anyone?

I'm glad to hear I wasn't the only one who got SUNBURNT. Imagine that on a day that was forecasted for rain!

As for the rainsayers, yesterday was further evidence that weather rarely lets down an SAU Vic event. I thought it was pretty perfect, overcast with not a drop of rain = shiny cars. Just a shame about the back of my neck, argh it stings! So yeah, pretty disappointing turnout given how many were keen to come at first. And I know the drive in, drive out times seem like an inconvenience...I used to think so too, but the day goes by really quickly and there's plenty of stuff to do at the docklands if you get bored of looking at cars. NDSOC certainly showed us up in the numbers department. They had some very pristine examples which were fun to look at. Still, SAU Vic represent...we still managed to cover some decent lawn and our cars looked pretty good.

lol @ NDSOC's choice of beverage. And lol @ the random who thought it was one of those motorshows where you can sit inside the nur-spec without asking the owner :rolleyes:

Scientist: [resigned] Well, Homer, I guess you're the winner by default.

Homer: Default? Woo hoo! The two sweetest words in the English language: de-fault! De-fault! De-fault!

[assistant clubs him]

Scientist: Where'd you get that, anyway?

Assistant: Sent away.

Thanks for organising it Ash!

Good to see you all again!

Ash you can move my pics for the old thread into here if you want :rolleyes:

Nice panoramic pic Montie :P

i too got burnt :blink:

Roasted :rolleyes::banana: Had some great chats with plenty of people I haven't met including a few from the nissan datsun club :banana:.

Oh and thanks Rob (silver 4-door) for demonstrating R33 gt-r rims on a 32, now i've got the ok to buy buy buy :blink:... she wants a set too now :P

It was a great day overall cheers for everyone who put effort into organising this.

Despite the low attandance the cars that turned up were nice, especially the R34 GTR just mint! Just LOL big time at that dude that jumped into the passenger seat (wonder why not driver's seat instead). Funny he even closed the door... he might be thinking of taking a nap inside or something :rolleyes:.

And yea I got sunburnt too despite the overcast all day.

Thanks To Ash & all The Organizers for organising a great day...DIDNT GET BURNT :rolleyes: .... pays off to be black...lol..weather was perfect for the day and had a good time there...nice pics guys....

Hey all,

Had a nice and enjoyable day in relaxing way, huge thanks to Ash and organisers for securing the awesome location. NDSOC stand have some quite nice Datsuns especially Bronze 260Z.

Met some people and had good chat with some of you.

Pity not enough cars from our end, people do need to drink a cup of concrete and bring them to meets whether it's rain or shine and in right or wrong location/time/etc!

Don't like my chances of winning best R33 GTR as there's 4 others... But I have this awesome gearknob, that could help me win, probably.

Cheers

Grant

p.s. when will we know the results from voting?

Roasted :D:( Had some great chats with plenty of people I haven't met including a few from the nissan datsun club :) .

Oh and thanks Rob (silver 4-door) for demonstrating R33 gt-r rims on a 32, now i've got the ok to buy buy buy :D ... she wants a set too now :D

Dave,

Buy mine!

Buy mine!

Buy mine!

Buy mine!

Also buy my sedan while you're at it...

I didn't get sunburnt and I'm white as.

Thanks heaps Ash for putting this on.

At least it ended up being a rain free event.

to bad we all filled out our voting papers there would have been some competition in the intruder class lol hey chinny!

Well done to the boys with the cameras. niccce.

The day was pretty good all things considered. NDSOC had heaps more cars there last year, even they were a little underwhelmed by the turnout.

CSA were there as well, we were promised 15-20 cars, and we got 7.

Anyone thinking of coming to this next year, but worried about what to do for 6 hours, apart from all being hopeless, there is heaps to do at Docklands, Cosco, plenty of shops, restaurants, so much to do. Get on it next year, it's a fantastic venue and location.

    • 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.
