well guys, there was a miscommunication problem between me and the mechanic, was ment to be ready saturday afternoon but he didnt get back to me so, i'll be going to the bank in the next 1/2 hour to get the funds and head on down there to pick her up (After a phone call)

hame...OooOOo the suspense

SAD update, just recieved a call from the grease monkey, car won't be ready till tomorrow, but it will "definatly" be ready tomorrow, so i will let you all know how everything is going....the suspense is being stretch, glad to hear a lot of you are keen on the build :( cheers guys, hame

Well today SHOULD be the day and just for you 'Yawn' and you others interested, i will be letting you know how everything went etc, wat was done etc and all the rest, love it if i could go get the car now but that doesn't look like it'll be ready till this afternoon. So yeah lets all hope things go well, n i'll let u know how i go with a hairdryer rb series lol for the last four months i been driving around in small auto's etc man the feel of power, actaully forced induction, is going to blow me away i bet. thks for the interest guys will up date soon (may be tomorrow as i work tonight)

HAME

Well guys car is back, sorry for the wait i actually picked it up last night (8:45pm), since then i have given her a bit of a run in, took her up mt.cootha etc gave her some challanges to get use to the new power, she goes really really nice :) So i'll give you a run down of whats in her. the rb25det engine fitted with a HKS ssq BOV, Hybrid FMIC with allow piping, apexi dual pannel forced air pod filter, gts't ECU, gts-t 5 speed gear box, new tailshaft. So i am happy with the way she is running now, the responce is great!! They had to grind away some of the front bar to fit the piping in, but it looks an absolute treat, also fan was timmed to fit the hybrid style piping.

All was good in the process apart from the speedo seemed to be incorrect (well it definatly is) so i need to call him about that tomorrow and let him know. other wise here is a couple of pictures i got of her (not the best of quality but more will come soon. it is so good to have her home considering havn't driven her since 30th june!. I still have my apexi full auto timer to install which will be done soon. hope to see some of u out on cruises soon etc. ENJOY!

future modifcation will probably include:

- Apexi Power FC

- t4 turbo (in the next 10 years!!)

- Tidy up of the interior (kustomise)

- Greddy Plemunm

PLease tell me how this is fixed!!!!!!

After doing two rb25 conversions.. I still havent figured it out!

Cooler looks mean poking out from the front bar!..

Congrats man!.. Enjoy it.. but learn it first!

Lookin forward to next round of mods! :)

Can you also tell me if the car to progressivly get more difficult to start?..

And How and what you guys did to solve the problem!

Cheers mate!

Btw.. is your fuel pump enough for the power increase?

    • @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 👇🏾
