MRE, sorry about flicking a rock up on ya windscreen....

Hmm, i ended the day with 2 nice stone chips, one from MRe and one from Nizman i beleive...

also, the tip tronic is a bit farked now.... dont think it can quite handle the beating i gave it.

other than that.. good cruise, would have been good if everyone was going a bit harder (like mad mt 2) but hey. Also, the straight me and nizman found would have to be the best bit of road ever... hmm,, may go for a quick cruise there now :(

My best part was chasing down a Silver 33 and sitting behind him till my right indicator lens popped out.

:lol: yep that was me you were chasing, good run we had there until your indicator wanted out

That was a great way to finsih up owning a skyline, I will always remember Mad Mtn 2 as being the fastest and most challenging of them all. Thanks Dave for the use of the BBBQ and other implements.

Stone Chips were a problem for a few of us I'd say on this run, I have 2 new crows feet on the windscreen from a certain Scoob B4, some of those roads around northern NSW are a little to narrow and crappy for skylines dare I say :(

And to who ever I drove back to the coast with from Dave's in the white R33.....Real nice drivin!!:):(:) :) :D

Pics to come...

yes, your always welcome to use my implements karl.

The guy in the white 33 was sky|ine (ross). Doesnt come on the forums tho I dont think, only IRC.

sounds like you had some fun driving home too then.

also, msn me, i have worked out what boost im getting now. 10psi over 5k :(

good to hear guys

i will definatly be there for the next one

nizman u still got yah silver 33 i thought you were gunna sell it like 6-7 months ago

and compliments to daves driving..its not easy to get a skyline airborn at 210k's and not break anything :(

Thanks for the day guys...

pitty theres only a few straights, next time I'll have some sticky tyres. Just couldn't get traction until high up in 3rd. Turbo got hot enough to start cooking my abs. maybe I should run 15psi next time.

Japtaxi, your nutz :( I backed off cause I was getting airborne and you still have the loud pedal down! Nutter :)

Yeah Marko, still got it, I decided to wait until I had saved half the deposit on a house and then sell, and this time has come, that was my last cruise, I 've got new tyres, new brakes, 6 months rego & a road worthy. The car will be in Brisbane papers for the next four weeks.

Won't be advertising it here as everyone on the forums should know that 25K is too much for a auto GTSTR33.

was in a subaru b4.. true rally style. If I had the r33, i would have probably hit it at over 260km/h! Also, im sure my car would fall into peices if I try... which is what im going to be doing tomorrow :)

yep that was me you were chasing, good run we had there until your indicator wanted out

that was fun. Man I can kick myself for it pooping out on me. I had a whole lot rpms to go. I used you to make sure the way was clear :( that is why I eased off a bit. But that straight was the best. My baby wanted to take off so many times.

How about an impromptu meeting this saterday everyone

Well I'm annoyed i couldn't make it, but i wouldn't want to be pushing my car that hard at this stage anyway. Next time I think we should go for a sunday, maybe in the new year holidays or something as this time of year there's always things coming up.

Once I get my car back on the road (well, driving properly anyway) i'm gunna go do some scouting around mt glorious and nebo and look at getting another mt cruise going.

Hey guys...I don't get on the computer much anymore...so i'd like to meet some of u so i can find out whats happening...I'm coming to brissy on friday night...If any of u guys or girls can ring me then i'd love to meet up with u and chat....Hope to hear from u..Ph No. 0427734255

    • 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.
