Does anyone know where it leaves from and at what time? I went last year and whilst the cruise was short, the cars at Ingle Farm were awesome, including NSXs, Supras and lotsa big chickens.

Hope everyone is coming along - it will be well worth the trip!

I'm going - who else is coming? .... we should arrange to meet at say the Western boundary of wherever the meet is so we can find each other!

G'day everyone.

The Nationals cruise meets at 6.30pm at Ingle farm again.

It leaves at 7.30 sharp so will have an hour to check out the cars.

Last year it ended up at the drags but not sure this time.

I wont be having a late one 'cause racers have to be out there at 8am!There are 135 entered according to Dennis.

See u there.

I knew both people involved.

the Vl that smashed into the R32 was a 12 sec Vl.. he is in SOO much trouble. Cant go into too much detail.

He hit my friend in the R32, he has a few injuries, including 4 broken ribs. But his car is a write off.

Bloody indiot. Can you imagine what the cops are going to do to the cruising and modified car scene now?

I probably shouldn't be asking these question here, but I will anyway......

Is there any truth to the rumours that the driver/owner of the VL Commodore involved was unlicenced? And that the car had an outstanding defect notice?

If the answer is yes to either or both of these, very very stupid move :D

"Most" of us do some crazy things behind the wheel from time to time but to do so unlicenced & under a defect.....WTF!? The judge will NOT be kind!

If the rumours are false, I'll delete this ASAP.

Most importantly, I hope all involved make a full recovery.

You are correct.

you can add uninsured to that list for the Vl driver.

My mate Paul in the R32 has to take the fool to Court for compensation and to cover the cost of his R32. Court takes aggggggges ( I work for a law firm). I feel sorry for Paul. I really do. Why should he suffer cos some dick has the brain cell capacity of a gold fish.

my 2c.

And the annoying thing is too that the vl driver will appeal to the Court that he can't afford to pay for the damage and will get to pay the guy with the R32 back in installments - like $5 per week.

He'll never see the money in one lump sum which sucks!!

I work for a law firm too and totally agree with Cheeky, the courts will take their sweet time!!!

It never ceases to amaze me how stupid people can be :D

Unlicenced. Carrying an existing defect. Uninsured. Go as a passenger in a mate's car, but for @#$! sake whatever you do, don't get behind the wheel & then drive like an idiot!

HOPEFULLY Paul (R32 owner) has insurance? If so his insurance company will process the claim & he'll receive a pay out within a matter of wks. The fact that Paul has the name of the driver responsible "should" place the "at fault" squarely on the VL driver!? In other words no loss of no-claim rating. This will depend on the insurance company however.

I had a guy crash my '91 MR2 I was in the process of selling about 5yrs ago (on the test drive with me in the passenger seat!) He didn't have a car at the time, & therefore no insurance. I claimed it on my policy (16k+ repair bill) & because I had the guys details & police report I was able to prove it wasn't "my" fault - no loss of no-claim bonus (I didn't have rating protection either).

As I said above, hopefully Paul has insurance!? That way he can move on quickly & his insurance company can do what he pays them to. If he doesn't have insurance....... it becomes a pretty good example of why you NEED to have it regardless of how careful YOU might be!

I heard on the same cruise a dude in a supra had a head on with a excel just as you enter the hills on nth east road (right near my house)? any one see this?

Image the next time cops see late model cars cruising

these dudes have not done anyone favours by crashing on a big oragnized cruise

Maybe its a good thing i was away, i dont think i will be going on big cruises anymore.

Next time we want to go for a cruise together we should just PM everyone and keep it small with people we know otherwise every one decides to come out and attract attention.

    • 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.
