Ok, hopefully some of the people that couldnt last time can this time,

Well, based on last times events, I would have to say that Jells Park is a good location because there are heaps of BBQ's if its a nice day, heaps of parking, and not TOO far for anyone. (Unlike areas of the dandenongs etc)

So, Melbourne Stagea Meet #2

Location: Jells Park Wheelers Hill Map 71, K7

Date: First weekend in Febuary, Sunday Feb 5th, Midday 12:00 Noon.

Events: BBQ session, BYO food/drinks, chats etc

We will use the same carpark as last time. Enter through the "in" gate, go around the big carpark in a circle, take the south heading left turn at the turning point and then proceed to the third car park on the right with BBQ's next to it. Circled in red. The road is one way, so follow the red arrows.

Make sure you bring seats this time, last time the benches were all wrecked. Bring some food too, drinks are good also.

So lets get a list of who will be (or want to be) coming

1. AlexCim - White S1 RS4

2. [ STAGEN ] - White S1 RS4

3. Burns - Silver S1 RS4

4. bluesky4me - ??? - Import/Compliance dependent attendance

5. ian - Bayside Blue S2 RS4S

6. wagon - Silver S1 RS4

7. humble - blue S1 RS4

(am I getting too hopeful now?) 8. muck - red S1 RS4

9. marcus - white s1 RS4

10.

I left a months notice so that people could get the cars on the road by then or have theirs arrive from being imported.

I MAY have manualized the car by then, less the interior.

Also the suspension should definatly be in there too ;)

I am puting the deposit on my new baby tomorow..

When people mention 'deposit' and 'baby' in the one sentenance, they normally aren't talking about cars - though the stagea does have enough room in the back..

I'll probably be able to make it. Bayside Blue, Series 2, Four S :-)

Ian

I have sent out PM's to

- stagi-r

- michaeljquinn

- muck

With a link to this post, hopefully we will make this meet HUGE (in stagea standards) hehe

I work shift work (12hr) and have to work that day,but i keep an eye on everything and sooner or later i'll make it. I have missed all the GTI-R owners ones for the last 3 years!!

I AM a member of SAU VIC, but noones bloody given me that blue thing yet!

I went to the Xmas BBQ too!!

Ive got all my cards, lanyards etc, but no membership yet :D

Anyone that isnt a Stagea owner, but wants to find out more is more then welcome to come. Hopefully this can convince some people to actually buy stageas :P

Ian came to the show and shine we held from memory.

Yep, dropped in with a very dirty bayside blue S2, and was surprised people were interested in it :-) - though I did not enter the competition (and next time I'll give it a wash, and I still haven't fixed the broken mirror). Would have taken the R34 around except the wife was in it... :-) (plug, the R34 is for sale, http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=98570, as we really don't need two cars! :-)

But no, I haven't joined the vic SAU, every time I go to do it I get too confused by the forms....

Ian

    • @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 👇🏾
