yeh, i had just bought the car so i still had all the RWC stuff in the glovebox. but now on i have a folder with ADR rules, emissions test, DB test (both emisions and DB were done on a stock 33 at courtneys work)

so im kinda covered if i get pulled up.

Being 'prepared' is good :kiss:

"yes officer of course its stock" :pirate:

isnt it true that in qld they dont do emmissions tests?

Not sure.

LOL karen its handy..... lol i dont have a cat either... 3inch dump to 3.5 all the way just to a cannon... :pirate:

cops will still fine you and make you PROVE that your car is legal etc. Other wise everyone would just go and get a copy of the adr's, a DB test and road worthy, drop in all the mods and be sweet forever.....ppl always forget the police have the power to fine anyone for pretty much anything and its then up to you to prove them wrong. Innocent until proven guilty...not in regards to transport fines.

Meh so far so good.

Ask Marc how deafing my R33's "pipe" exhaust was :pirate: and that is with a bike helmet on!

i've run just a dump pipe before (only for fun), its freaking loud!! Its hard to realise how low your car is revving because of how loud it is. On the second 33 I had a straight exhaust with trust cannon and a ex wastegate atmo vented, it was pretty loud too when I was up it. I like loud cars...but its not real stealthy!

eeek :pirate:

that exhaust would be damn noisy

You should have heard my big power R32 with straight pipes and venting gate... Now that was loud haha.

We got 130db out of dads Porsche once, DB meter wouldnt read any higher, exhaust shop their one maxed out at 130 lol

Hi Matt :pirate: How's the Lexarse treating you?

pretty good, im enjoying the comfort and being able to drive next to a cop without thinking of a story to tell when he pulls me up. But im also thinking about how long my car would be off the road should I opt for the enging conversion 1j option. For now its nice though.

    • 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.
