Hi guys/gals,

PAS Westernsalon is looming near, and SAUWA is planning on making a big impact this year. This will be our 2nd year at the event and after great success and fun last year we're planning on doing it all again.

PAS will be held on the 30th and 31st of October, and this year it will be held in the new Convention Center on the Perth foreshore. This venue will be much improved over Belmont Racecourse, with alot more room and many more vehicles expected to enter.

We're looking for members who wish to enter there cars with the SAUWA display. Your car needs to in show-room condition, with something special to set it off from the crowd, either performance mods, wild bodykit, stereo etc. If you have a vehicle you want to enter then please contact me, either via PM, or email me at [email protected].

There are only limited spaces, and is only for paid SAUWA members or SAUWA sponsors ,so not everyone will be able to enter. The cost will be approximately $100 per vehicle, with SAUWA fundraising helping to fund the rest.

Even if you don't plan on entering a car, and just want to help out then we'll need all the help we can get.

Cheers

Paul

SAUWA President

Think we've pretty much decided on a theme - we were jsut waiting on members feedback on it. I think we should keep the Theme talk etc to the "Members Only" section to keep away from prying eyes.

What can we do about models. As Paul knows I am able to source a couple of promo/models.. prob just 2... but if they go in the bikini comp do we still have to pay for full 2 days entry.... surely whats his face normally lets the models/bikini girls in for free or sumfin... plus do we have any spare SAU shirts lying around that they can wear.....

Dan .... im looking after the girls n costume side of things :P I'll be in touch with you shortly .... we are looking for four models all up ..... and i know EvlR33 approached paul too about it. So if you just want to forward any of the stuff etc to me on [email protected] that'll be cool.

    • @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 👇🏾
