Damn - hate it when im right !!! :(

 

ill still be there though...

soo!! did you actually make it?! :)

Thanks to everyone that turned up!!! I actually didn't think so many of you would! Hehe...was fully expecting to go it alone!! Glad i didn't have to though :)

I'm happy to say we had no bad encounters with cops! in fact...we had no encounters at all! no incidents nothing!! The road was a lil wet....and it was definitely a slippery drive, but apart from that it was a nice clean cruise! :)

Whens the next one!!! :P:D :D

great cruise guys, that was great fun... :(

Hey Ash,

You didn't make it right to Terrigal did you?

I didn't see you there?

You don't know me, but i know of you thru Backup(Dale)

I think i counted 10 Skylines at Terrigal :)

Niiiiicccceeeee

soo!!  did you actually make it?! :(

 

 

Course i did !!

although, got %$^$ called for work by the time we all arived at Kariong, so i had to scoot.... :cuss:

the drive was good - a LOT longer than i thought, but i learnt something about my car....how deep in the red it can go petrol wise ! (didnt see a petrol warning light though..)

Great to meet up with the Central Coast contingent, and put some faces to names... :) Hopefully will catch up again next weekend...

just gotta remember -

1) more petrol next time

2) 265/35/18's and wet roads dont go, regardless of how the car handles !! :P

you guys took your sweet time gettin' up there

I missed the 9pm meeting point by 10 mins and had to hang out at work on the net for 30 mins. (washed my car and missed you guys)

I then went up to macca's and met up with ronin and some others, it was good to meet some people from here though.

so when's the next one? make it a month away or something

cheers

Thanks for the cruise,  I had a ball on those slippery roads !   It sure beat sitting at home on the net and watching TV   :-)

When is the next one !!!

Hehehe....i told you!!! next time bring the mazda out!!! :D I think james and martin regretted being in my car the first time you disappeared!!

and man do i have alot to learn about windy roads!!! what a struggle to keep up! and you and the s15 weren't even trying!!!! :

Hey gizmo! you should do what i do when on call! drag your laptop everyone and just log on remotely!! :):(:P

Next cruise!? a month away is probably good! whose going to organising it?!?! :D

Bah thats not right.... i'm on 265/35's and i actually almost caught up with mona (which is a feat even in the dry) after she got a 10 min head start from wisemans :)

But that said i almost sh*t myself on a few corners and bridges.

Kudos on the cruise mona, how could you think even for a second that we'd make u go it alone. I miss your exhaust tho.

Oh and Dave, you drive like my grandma.... and she's dead :(

Simon, was that you that I caught upto near the end of that road with the intersection to Gosford/Singleton/Sydney and we didn't know where to go? I was in the Midnight Purple R33 GTR...

If so, you have to also factor in the 2-3 minutes we spent stationary at that intersection trying to figure it out and calling people too :)

Hahahaha....and the fact you caught up means you were driving alot better than i was :P

YAY!! i'm glad you guys turned up! :D i wasn't sure cause i didn't see any other posts apart from your first ones... :D

and i miss my exhaust too :) :) :( :( its too quiet now! but i'd better get used to it!

Hey Andrew! Sorry! I was figuring it out as i went!!! next time i'll remember to say its pretty much straight all the way to the last intersection with the lights! :)

    • 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.
