Ok so how about wakefield. For $80 (+$30 for those without a licence) we can take our pick of the the following dates:

- Thu 20th Feb, Open Practice/No Speed Limit Day - Cars Only

- Fri 28th Feb, Open Practice/No Speed Limit Day - Cars Only

- Tue 4th March, Open Practice/No Speed Limit Day - Cars Only

OR my pick :

- Sat 8th March, No Speed Limit Day - Street Cars Only,

The saturday for those of us that work, plus it gives us time to organise, and for me to install my new goodies.

Super DDDDDOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!!!

ARGH!!!!! I have to break something now!!!! *bashes head against pillow*

I'll still be more than happy to bring some bread.

Cruise to kangaroo valley? Kiama? How about north? Don't know north too well and would be great to wonder up that way into "enemy" territory :starwars:

Well Guys I'm on now... sorry for the late notice but as Dino has said, this event has been cancelled... and apparently all the moto concepts days at oran park have been cancelled... this leaves them with only one full car day at eastern creek and that is towards the end of the year... november I think tracy said.

I am leaning towards meting at oran park anyway and giving back deposits... then cruising anywhere.

my thoughts were Bells and beach... then I thought bells beach but changed my mind as too far to travel!!!

maybe lunch in Richmond?

If you guys are happy I'll organise a alternative cruise event for the 16th and we can all run with that... let me know.

Sorry,

Dan.

Dan,

No need to apologise - not your fault.....

Let's do a crazy kick arse cruze & BBQ instead......

Maybe the first official SAU NSW club event ?? Dino ??

Yeah guys, I think that a cruise BBQ are a definate goer. Post up your ideas.

I have 2:

1. Meet at Oran park around 10 for a 11am departure. Head across to Richmond for a bite to eat at a nice pub I know of (or we could go to the pool and use their BBQ facilities and swim) and then we have options: 1 putty road. 2 Bells Line of Road. 3 Springwood road (this one doesn't take long though, and gets pretty boring after 10 mins... but if hill climb is your thing then this is the place to be!)

2. Meet Oran park around 8:30 for a 9am departure and head to the beach... set up BBQ and eat sandy bangers over a game of beach cricket/soccer/volley ball.

let me know what you think... but either way I want to meet somewhere and get these deposits back to everyone.

if you want to see about Wakefield then go here

If you want to follow what is happening with moto concepts then go here

Just remember we only have 8 days to get this thing planned... so if no ideas by Wednesday morning I'll talk it over with the missus and make a decision.

Talk to you all soon,

Dan.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

No fair! That sux0rs..

However, must say thanks to dan for organising it and collecting deposits and what not. You put alot of work into it and its a shame it got canceled like this.

Would love to get out on another track at some stage.. Keep us posted.

Hmmm looks like the info on the Motoconcepts calendar is waaaay out of date. They are showing numerous Drive Days at Eastern Creek. :P

How about a cruise to Bobbin Head or Appletree Bay? It is in the National Park (will cost $10/car to enter...) but we can book a picnic spot and there are BBQ facilities. From memory there's enough room to park etc.

Suggested route:

Homebush 6C -> Old Northen Road -> Galston Gorge or Berowra Waters Ferry -> Pacific Highway -> Bobbin Head Road

Another suggestion is to follow the route above with some deviations around the Dural area and end up at Berowra Waters Ferry for a BBQ.

We can have a meeting point somewhere along the route like at Windsor Road and Old Northern Road (basically somewhere there is a big carpark). Someone with local knowledge would know better than I.

:mad:

i realised i had the wrong dyno day

me bad

there is one this saturday 15th at girraween(silvia NSW)

then there is one on sunday at silverwater (performanceforums)

just change your big day out to sat at girraween and then cruise on around then

I kinda like brendans idea.. Who is keen for that

My idea = Dan's Idea = Dino's Idea ....... We just gotta decide where ????

I don't give a toss where, as long as there is Cruzing and BBQing action.......

    • @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 👇🏾
