:confused: not sure exactly. i think they just come to me. yeah, i'm sticking with that story

well depends on how many ppl are interested but i wanted to hold it in an open area. i'm scoping out a few pubs with nice beer gardens. there's one on the north side in chatswood i think called the Oaks which has a huge oak tree and a whole bunch of tables around it. however, such establishments might not allow us to gamble on their premises. i'll ask around anyways.

if you guys have any other suggestions by all means share them.

how about we do a childrens charity? maybe an xmas pressy one or the childrens hospital. any suggestions (just as long as it's childrens:p )?

something like $20 entry (all goes to charity) and a threshold for max winnings. ie anything above $50(eg) goes towards charity kitty and you can't quit once you hit $50. this is just an idea so if you have a better one i'd like to hear it.

Geez, If we had sponsers, we could get them to donate prizes - tshirts, BOVs, Turbo Timers, tools, pods, whatever.

Then do as you say - $50 bucks and your in, this gives each person say 200 skyline dollars to bet - all real $$$ donated to a charity.

Then at end of the night when everyone is pissed, we auction off the prize/donations to the people who have won the skyline bucks.

Only one problem with this plan... we don't have sponsers yet.......

bummer, back to the drawing board.

We can do that - I think my suggestion can wait for Ron.

    • 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.
