Natural instinct to create a sense of dominance but I agree totally, argue quietly...much better chance of getting your point across than shouting like a f**k.

Just got back from Princes Highway. Police everywhere left right and centre pulling cars over. Why cars cruise up and down there is beyond me if your afraid of getting a defect. Kinda like musical chairs with the cops on who they will pull over.

Fun to watch though.

i assume you weren't in the 34 then.

Evening friends, greetings from Denmark. Been on the road now for around 4 months and in total I've seen 1 skyline... And believe me I've been on the lookout.

God bless Australia I say. What's news around here? Any cool / exciting stuff been happening?

yeh my mate chucked a pic up, what was so special there last night?

also ps3 v xbox? thinknig to get one leaning toward ps3 but dont really know since the last game console i had was a ps1 !

also should i wait, as in any newer models coming out? ps4 or something?

I was went there to check it out with mates, then went to eat there.

Shit was intense. Trying to leave home was like being the guy from Prison Break. Mr Po po everywhere.

If you dont have a bluray player prob go the ps3.

Also to play online on PS3 dont need to pay for a subscription but xbox you do, if you dont care about the above 2 things then it just comes down to what games you want to play. GT5 vs forza 4 etc.

Was supposed to be a "new" night so they had a lot of well known DJs and heavily promoted it. Looked like same old ethic night @ CQ to me. Gotta give props to the organisers though, I was there a month ago and the place was pretty dead.

    • 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.
