Hey Guys,

Well there seems to be a BIG gap between Drive days at Eastern Creek. This one looks to be the last oportunity to get one in before the new year rolls around.

I will contact Dave Stone during the week to see if we can get a little more off the group booking rate but I think I'll be going along to this one anyway.

If your keen to join me then start posting up here. As usual I'm shooting for 15 definates to form our own group, but if we can get 30 then we have not only enough for 2 groups, but we will have the biggest turnout ever at Eastern Creek. A meet of this size may just call for a magazine of some sort to be called in.

Anyway, let me know.

Dan.

just to clarify......im after the December 19th track day.

im sure i can get about 7ppl including myself to go.

its a full day as far as i know and its on the motor concept calender already.

cost atm is est at $145 im hoping it'll go down to $130'ish.

so can the fearless leader please stand up (cuz slimshady said so) and org it please......

OK guys,

I spoke to Tracey Yesterday and she said that if we can get 15 ppl together than we can work out some sort of a discount. Last time I think we had it at $120 if we got 15 ppl.

So far we have:

1. Majanal (GTS)

2. mrthorpedo (GTS)

3. red900ss (GTS) You better not ditch me again!

4 - 10. ManNgolf plus another 6

11. Merli (GTS) ?

So come on, cos red and merli are only maybe's at this stage. this means that we need 6 more. Fatz, Bonkers, Oz, Silver, Prank, Jason GTR, Kabab and all the others that normally come along?

Let get this happening.

Red. the half day I have to work, but let me guess, you have it off right?

Cheers,

Dan.

It's been a long time between drinks so count me in. Already have the day off so let's make this a big one to end the year.

Also have a mate with a 180SX who is mighty keen to wear down the rears. And another with a VR-X Magna who wants to throw it around a racetrack before selling it, he will probably be there. Only count him as 50%, it is a magna after all.

Oz ( Paul ) is a 95% chance of making it as well.

Now if I can only get a few hours free to install that pesky bleed valve.:P

Z.

Im back in Syd end of Nov, anyone going to the half day 21/11?

I am back OS 01/12 but should be back in Syd 17/12/02 so put me down for both 21/11 & 19/12/02. (Yet to confirm available seats for return flight with airline)

Only ever done track days in winter months. Do summer temps knock the car around two fold? Might get an oil cooler if this is the case.

I'll be down there to get some shots only. I'm working the night before and don't want to drive at high speeds half a sleep. Besides the car's got one to many problems now. I'll forward the message to my other mates.

ok,

So far we have:

1. Majanal (GTS)

2. mrthorpedo (GTS)

3 - 9. ManNgolf plus another 6

10. Prank

11 - 12. Zane + 1

13. Roy

14. Kel and Duncan

15. ??????

Maybe's:

Merli

Zane's magna mate.

Oz (95%) Come on buddy!

XrSiSt

That is only one short... come on, who is gonna step up to the plate?

Fatz you Poof, are you coming?

Good way to wake up Silver.

If my car is f@#ken ready by then I'll come, just so I can have a get together with fatz over a couple of pints afterwards.

Yeah, but you have to wear a pink shirt and put on L plates.:P  

Just kidding. All are welcome.

Can anyone lend me some L plates ?? I have a pink shirt :D :D :D :D

    • @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 👇🏾
