Wasteland 2014 Edition

The really frightening thing is, we're heading towards the end of 2015, yet this is a 2014 Wasteland thread, and only 4 pages in.

Kinda highlights how dead SAU:SA is.

Most of the issue is like most forums, they go dead because the masses made the leap over to facebook for all the trolling and bullshit.

Forums to most are a thing of the past.

Personally I love forums because of the useful information you have access to, but whats the point in forums nowadays when you can

jump on fb and ask the same question that's been asked a million times and get given an answer without actually searching for it.

^^ I agree. And the biggest issue with SAU forums is that EVERY reasonable question to be asked, has been asked and answered. As a library resource SAU is unbeatable, but as for day to day organising cruises/meets etc, then FB is far more useful and has considerably more reach.

The BIG problem with cruises, is that the person that organises the cruise is responsible for ALL the activities that happen on that cruise - even by randoms. The cops have come down very hard on cruises, hence why you rarely see them anymore.

^^^ that's true, although being part of the R31 club in recent years, they have continued to keep up a yearly cruise which has gone off without a hitch...
with everyone transitioning over to facebook all the baggage that used to jump in on cruises seems to have declined...

I think organising a cruise a few weeks to a month in advance on the forums would net a reasonable result. and personally I think smaller groups 10 - 20or so cars is a good number for cruises...

I myself would organise a cruise but I don't get out enough to know many good driving roads, aswell as being a fairly new member/poster around here, but definitely behind the SA Cruise movement I'm 100% behind it. C'mon SA Boys get on it!!!

cruses are a massive thing at the mkment, my FB is full of cruses constantly.

even if we had a meet up and chit chat somewhere nice and even just a short cruise to somewhere else nice on a sunday, nothing hugely fancy

    • The two diagrams are equivalent. The R32 one is just one sheet out of about 3 showing everything in the whole car all at once. And without knowing the functionality that occurs in the modules, they are both equally opaque.
    • 8v - 2.48ms 9v - 2.15ms 10v - 1.74ms 11v - 1.41ms 12v - 1.15ms 13v - 0.99ms 14v - 0.89ms 15v - 0.82ms 16v - 0.81ms I'm running these values on my RB20 Neo with 570cc Denso R35 stock jets and it's great. Also bought a set for my Legnum VR4, love these injectors!
    • Thanks for your reply,  Those blue/green wires running to the actuator aren't attached to anything, so I'm not sure how the central locking is still working. I will have to take a good look tomorrow, I don't have the car with me. After googling it seems like a pretty common aftermarket actuator which even uses the same green/blue wires the immobiliser required. i'll test everything tomorrow and if it's working i'll melt the solder, strip it, resolder and neaten it all up with some heat shrink. I don't have to understand it if it works hahaha I just don't want a fire/ short circuit. That R32 diagram looks more like a continuity chart? Can you make sense of this form the R34 manual? 10V is probably due to very flat battery, i'll recheck as well tomorrow, I did have to jump start it haha. Thanks again!  
    • So, COM doesn't mean comms. It means common. What common itself means will depend on the type of device. For a two directional actuator (ie, one that can push and pull on the same output rod) then the common will typically just be the earth connection. There will be at least 2 other wires. If you put 12V on one of the other wires, then the actuator will push. On the other 12V wire, it will pull. Can't quite make out what is going on with the wiring of your actuator. It appears to have several wires at the actuator plug, but there only appears to be 2 wires where its loom approaches the door control module, with at least one of the others cut off. I don't know these actuators off by heart. I'd have to look at a wiring diagram for one before knowing what the wires were about, and that's despite me having to replace one in my car not all that long ago. Just not interesting enough to have dedicated memory set aside for trivia like that any more. That actuator is an aftermarket one, not the original one, which probably died and was replaced. That might require some sort of bodge job on wiring to make it work. Although nothing should justify the bodginess of the bodge job done. As to the soldering job on the door module's loom plug. Ahhahhahaha. Yes, very nasty. Again, I cant tell you what any of those wires do. You'd need to study the R34 wiring diagram (if you can find one that shows the door module). I don't think I have any. I'd have to study the R32 diagram to start to understand what mine is doing, and again, even though I've had a problem with mine for the last 25 years (where it locks the passenger door when the driver's window reaches top or bottom of travel) I'm just not interested enough to try to to work it out. So long as it's not burning down, it's fine with me. Here's the R32 GTR diagram, which, confusingly, has rear door lock actuators and window motors on it!! As you can see, unless you understand the functions of the door lock timer and the power window amplifier, you'll never be able to work out how it works just from the diagram. I don't imagine that the R34 one is any better. Hopefully an R34 aware bod can help. FWIW, the two wires that are cut and joined look like they are both power supply - so hopefully it is not fatal to join them. The 10V you measured on the cut off free end of one of them is concerning. You'd expect 12V, and it might be the reason for the bodge job joining them together.
