Official event: Shepparton overnight stay and DECA fun day cheer squad cruise


Recommended Posts

To conincide with the DECA FUN DAY (event information) occurring on Sunday 6th June 2004... a leisurely drive up to Shepparton to cheer on the SAU competitors has been arranged.

Due to the distance (approx. 2hrs out of Melbourne) and time the DECA event starts, we have decided to drive up on the Saturday afternoon (05/06/04), check into a Motel, hit the Shepparton night life - with view to spend the night, allowing for the latest possible wake-up on the Sunday morning .

Details are as follows:

Date: Saturday, 5th June 2004

Time: 12 noon

Meeting Place: Ford Motoring Company, 1731 Hume Hwy, Campbellfield, Map 7 E3.

(There is a huge car park, just turn into the service road as you see the Ford Plant)

Accommodation (3+ star Best Western or similar): Approx $30p/p - twin/triple share rooms.

IMPORTANT: To finalize bookings we require you to:

1: Notify of your intention to join the cruise and number of persons to book accomodation for. Do this by posting in this thread.

2: Deposit the $30p/p into the following account:

National Australia Bank

BSB: 083419

Num: 683271757

Name: James P Ward

Please identify the transaction with your username, name and number of people booked. Post in the thread when you have done it. Only when you have completed both steps will your booking be confirmed and name added below.

Bookings close 20/05/04. So be quick!

This cruise is open to EVERYONE, not just entrants to the DECA event. It is just a drive to Shepparton, so bring any car you like.

On Sunday non entrants are welcome to spectate the event and cheer on the SAU crew . But if you have your car there you will regret not entering . This is also open to NON skyline owners that wish to find accommodation for the event. Bring partners, friends & family.

People interested in enteringthe DECA event must arrange with Al via the event thread

CONFIRMED:

-> Al - Alan (R33 Gtst)

-> Jamezilla - James (R33 GTR)

-> Snowman - Andrew (R34 GTR)

Considering the amount of SAU entrants (skyline and non-skyline, ie:180's, 200's, etc.) there is little interest in this cruise :Oops:

Maybe people have already sourced their own accommodation?

I really should check the events section more often....

I could be up for the cruise, but might have to sort out the uni timetable first. Its 1 of the 2 months every year when uni gets busy :P

I also think that after the fun of last Friday for me that a stop off at the super fast Karts in Summerton on the Hume HWY on the way up? Will help with getting into a bit of practice before we try and turn the Skylines into go-karts on Sunday.

Just confirmed with Ula, and he is definately coming. Unfortunately he has been too busy to log on. He will give me the money and the number of people by the end of the week.

LAST CHANCE PEOPLE!

R32Big_Boy: The money for the accomodation goes to James and the money to enter the DECA event must be posted to the NORTHERN STREET CRUIZERS PO Box as stated on the bottom of the form. You have till the 1/06/04 to post the form and funds to Northern Street Cruizers.

-THE TWO ARE NOT RELATED!

Call me if you have any further questions: 0427 076490

James: I am not sure if i told you 3 or 4 friends are coming with me. I HAVE 4 FRIENDS THAT A STAYING WITH US. They are from the my other club and are definately coming as they are either acting as marshals or have entered their cars.

- So thats myself and 4 friends, from Northern Street Cruizers.

(NSC have booked 10 cabins and they are all full)

Was going to do Monday but will state now.

There are still plenty of spots left, just pm me your email address and i will email the form to you. Being so close to the event, just fill in the form and give it to me, with the money, on the Saturday as we cruise to shepparton.

Adz check your email :)

A few people have entered through SAU, but not all are Skylines. Very rough estimate would be approx 15 cars.

For accommodation please contact James directly, not too clear if rooms are still available, but there is a good chance that there is.

Hey I live in Shepparton and will be there on the sunday If you need accomadation I work at a hotel and might be able to get cheap accomadation for use if you need too.

call me if you want to catch up Saturday 0408124250 DAVE

Accomodation booked for Saturday night at the 'Bel-Air' motor inn in Shepparton.

Next door to McDonalds - mmm, classy.

Have got 6x triple rooms on booking (1x queen, 2x single) @ $95 each - so $32 a pop.

Double rooms (I think Gerald and Snowman were bringing partners) are $78 per... and have 2x these on standby.

To confirm people:

Al + 4

Ula

James

R32 Bigboy

Adz + 1

Snowman + 3

Deorbit

Rigga

Is this correct? Will then confirm all accomodation with them.

Is a Golden-Chain BTW. Parking is all OK too :D

    • 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.
