hahahaha.

shane.. what happened to b00ntas car? :laugh:

how is he anyway? I haven't spoken to him since Xmas day :P

twas driving to work yesterdya morning, and she overheated, popped the bonnet to find radiator cap missing and steam farking everywhere. let it sit and cool down for a bit, went back at 3pm and put new coolant in her and did a compression test. compression was ~40, and found water around the spark plugs, so fairly certian its a blwon headgasket. towed her home and is now awaiting the replacement headgasket *sigh*

sayeth he who now has TWO undrivable lines in his yard :laugh:

can you say pwned? lol

ah f**kin.. that's shithouse!

garden ornaments :laugh: improved gnomes

yeah gnome no.1 was getting lonely... shane is sau's gnome breeder now :P

and furthermore, you pwned yourself big time as well as andy by leaving the rad cap off.

how good are the skyline heat gauges anyway? Mine never seems to move once the car heats up, however my oil temp gos up and down depending on how much im flogging her...

well the stock water temp gauge in bunta's 33 is farken hopeless! it went from being normal to 'fark me im out of water' in an instant.

mmmmm raw cookie batter *droolz*

have you seen that family guy episode with the cookie monster in it? how he is in rehab and they find cookies.. and another espisode later when louis is in the bathrooms of some club.. she opens the cubicle door and the cookie monster is hiding like a drug addict with a tube of cookie dough (ps. yes it's dough not batter) and putting some on a spoon and lighting it with a lighter to cook it?

haha.. oh that's so funny. guess you just have to watch it.

mine was average.... it didn't move until it was way too hot for comfort

hey i didnt totally leave it off! i aint that stoopid :laugh:

P.S can i borrow ur car isaac? :P

P.S can i borrow ur car isaac? :laugh:

sorry, dont think you can bring yourself to drive a ricers car.. guess i'll give mine to the bogans up the road when i go o/seas as they'll take better care of it

:P

on a serious note shane do you need a torque wrench as i have a pretty decent one you can use....left over from my 7M-GE days with the cressida :laugh:

unless its one of them 340ft/lb ones, no i've got one :P

you just didn't do it up?

thats what im thinkin, caus i doubt it could blow off if it was on properly, and its one of them nismo ones...

:P

ahh its alrite, i'll just rip the dash out and other ricer associated bits when i take delivery :laugh:

unless its one of them 340ft/lb ones, no i've got one :laugh:

nah dont think it goes up that high.. but you wont need that much strenght for the gasket job? the only time i used mine was on the head bolts and they took about 72ft/lb

    • @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 👇🏾
