THE LAST DECA OF 2011

Sat 19 November

And once again we ask for your assistance

For this event to SMOOTH on TIME and SAFELY we need a small group of volunteers (OFFICIALS) to help

out in 3 sections in the morning and 1 in the afternoon.

All Officials on the day will be supplied lunch and drinks and go into the draw to win 1 of 2 BP fuel cards..

An Officials breifing will be held before the drivers breifing. So all Officials will need to be at

the Shepparton DECA complex before 8am on Saturday.

Be aware NO DRIVERS BREIFING OR COMPERTITION will take place until all Officials positions have beed filled.

So if this sounds like you or 1 or more of your friends or family post up in here and i add you to my list.

Cheers WayneO.

First DECA in 2 or 3 years I will be out of town otherwise you know I'd be there volunteering... :(

I echo what Jules said - best vantage point as a volunteer, AND you get free lunch - plus this month go into the draw for a $50 fuel voucher.... awesome!!

Since Bec is racing I'll take her spot as the long wang starter!

Long Wang starter is my spot :P (but I wont be there this month so you can do it ;) )

me and 4-5 others are 100% dowm for spidpan fun. no volunteering though lol

volunteering dosent mean your stuck doing something all day, you can still go out in cars and that

you and the 4-5 others would be much appreciated for the help.

even do the wangs in the morning which means your free in the arvo to go on the skidpan

just a thought anyways :thumbsup:

That's a shithouse attitude. DECA isn't run for the spectators, get your mates to volunteer.

we could make it a NON SPECTATOR event, so the only way people could get in is if they are driving or volunteering :whistling:

That idea has been floated before. I don't necessarily think it's the best idea but the day is always short on volunteers as people come up to watch the spectacle (for free) and have no intent on ever helping. Maybe charging for spectator entry would be a good idea.

    • 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.
