just a quick update, the committee has decided to make it open to members only, but available for sale to the public. Basically as an incentive to those that paid to be members.

$50 ain't a bad tradeoff for a sticker, a lanyard, the option to get a cams license AND to be in a photoshoot.

narkeh, what about that boatyard you me n ula did some pics of our cars at?

Only 4 cars turned up today. 3 members and 1 non-member.

Greg was not to impressed with the light @ 6.30 so we had to wait a while B4 taking any shots.

Not to sure how the shots came out?? Greg can you post some pics of the shoot up? Or do you want to keep it under wraps for now or untill product is finished? Anyway, you can send the shots of my car to [email protected]

Next location????

well well be shortlisting the candidates, but so far we don't have enough to fill up 12 months so atm its open to any member

well if thats the case i will turn up to the next shoot...

if it wasnt stressed in this thread that only the names on the list turn up today, i would have rocked up...it seems there were a few cars only.

The shoot was really a test, but now I have a good idea as to what we're dealing with. Sorry for making you guys wait so long - I think the best way to attack this is just to get one or two cars at a time, and work from there.

The earlier shots were OK but nothing really stood out. I did manage to get some great shots of Matt's car later around 8:30-9pm which I believe are keepers so I'm confident we've now got one month down at least.

-Greg.

greg, do you wanna post up a timetable of availabilities, and locations you wanna try out, and then we can get the fellas here to put their names into allocations to meet up with you.

Here's some availability:

Thur 30th Dec - 18:00-21:00 - Anywhere?

Fri 31st Dec - 07:00-09:00 - City area

Sun 2nd Jan - 18:00-21:00 - Anywhere?

Mon 3rd Jan - All Day - Anywhere?

Tues 4th Jan - All Day - Anywhere?

Wed 5th Jan - All Day - Anywhere?

I'd like to have 2 or 3 cars to shoot at any time. And also, shoots can take a while so be prepared to wait.

-Greg.

I'm keen for shot's in the city... but not on NYE05... can another day be allocated for the city too?

Put me down for another shoot on either 3rd all day or after 6.00pm on 4th if you think I need other shot's done (last location was not ideal - my pick :D)

Can ppl start throwing in some ideas for good locations so we can pick and match according to Greg's timetable.

this should definately be a spot... apollo bay and the park in geelong which looks out onto the bay

these were taken 2 years ago

also some shots around the city with some views of melbourne landmarks....

also added a few from my uncles farm which is quite scenic...

theyre in the gallery.

Farm is up in Seville... around the lillydale area.

im sure he wont mind us coming out for a photoshoot on the weekend as long as we arent being stupid etc.

just remember that if u do wanna do it out there that guys with lowered cars will need to take it ESPECIALLY careful as the roads are bumpy, gravel and potholed.... but nothing the soarer or my cousins mates extremely lowered skyline cant handle.

    • 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.
