Rezz,

Mate the plan sounds good to me. two 4 hour chunks of exploring, then dinner and Daikoku. Who could ask for more?

The only problem is how to fill in time between now and January?

:)

gday everyone, my name is Steve. ill be definetly heading to the TAS this year, staying near shibuya-ku with my old man who lives there. will be catching the train in, would be stoked to meet up with some fellow aussies and car enthusiasts as ill be riding solo to the show it looks like.

i too would love to make it to daikoku, though am also car less. 100% in for throwing in toll, petrol money etc... if anyone has a seat and could drop me back in shibuya or roppongi!

alternativly if anyone is organising a rental keep me posted as sounds like a good idea too.

on website it mentions adv tickets can be purchased from lawson's convenience stores at a small discount, just a tip. not sure if that is all stores though.

Hi guys, even though Rezz will unfortunately not be in attendance, the 10am meeting point at the east exit of makuhari station is still on.

I will be with 3 others from SAU - hope to see the rest of you guys there

What other auto related (tuners) stuff on the program during your stay?

Thanks

Exellent

Would you be online in any way in Japan ,maybe meet up with the Blitz crew :)

if you`re doing some tuner stuff like Hks,Top Secret etc

Thanks

Ken, we arrive at Narita airport at 6pm this Sunday.

Circus and Poida: Would be great to catch up with you guys, meet at 10am Saturday as per the previous plan outside Makukari station and we can go from there.

If you want to join us heading to some other workshops etc, email me

Nick at skylinesaustralia dot com

Thanks

    • 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.
