haha ummm cant find anyone to go with so at this stage it looks like it'll be a shit box red Ford Laser :yucky::spank: :spank: insurance hasnt come through yet from "Ancient-Ababa" pushin' me into that Lex!! :rant: All good, see everyone tomorrow THE CRUISE IS ON REGARDLESS :rofl:

just come to the meet up brah, i will show just to scope out how many actually make it..

Yeah I guess it is only 2 seconds from my house, I'll be at the meet up along as it's not bucketing down

A lil rain never hurt, as i stated previously the cuise is still on today!! Just take more caution on the road & remember it is a CRUISE not a Race... i gurantee there will be a fair few cars there today :thumbsup: See you all from 10am @ Silverwater Boat Ramp for the 11am Leave!

Was definately bucketing down today!! Woah..:ninja: Only had afew cars turn up today, and ended up chillin out at Hogs Breathe Cafe with my mates... im rescheduling this cruise for next Sunday October 2nd due to the crap weather today, same plans same meet time,etc.. whoose keen for that from SAU???

Shame about today, next Sunday looks alot better... Windy & Partially Cloudy

yeah i wimped out due to combination of late night and the rain, sorry to hear it flat lined a little out there.

hope to make one of the cruises next week, whether this or the stag thing. fingers crossed re weather!

Indeed, we got heapz saturated!! Was soo wett on Sunday, thank you for those who came out despite the rain- i really appreciate it :cheers:

    • @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.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
