followed a maroon 33 with the plates EER33 from cooroy onto the highway to the bottom of black mountain. i have the following observations to make. 1: one of your tail lights is faded so it is more yellow than red. 2: your car is running pretty rich. i could smell it inside my car with the windows up.

now for comments on your driving.

you weren't able to stay within the lines. for the few kms that i followed you, you were constantly varying you speed between 5 to 15km/h under the limit. then when we go to the overtaking lanes and i tried to pass you, you sped up to 20km/h over the limit so i couldn't get past without flooring it, and then you slowed back down once i was past. you're a deadset dumbass. you may have thought i was wanting to race you because i was constanly getting closer and further away, but that was just because of your poor ability to hold a steady speed meaning that i had to keep slowing down and speeding up.

Try T-Mac, Power Street?

ah yes, that's right. think he may have worked at ford before T-mac, but i could be wrong.

this morning i spotted a white r34 (possibly GTR) with gold wheels heading north on the highway in gympie at the top of the golf course. i was the fella on the bike (in lycra) heading back into town.

and on wednesday i spotted a silver r32 4 door that belongs in the "what not to do to a skyline" thread. it was on steve irwin way heading towards landsborough. had some mildly ugly front bar, eyelids that covered half the headlights and had a strip of LED driving lights under each headlight.

I see loads of young skyliners out southside way and always give the captains wave!! Say Hi back!

34 midnight blue sedan 611MAB is the daily with gun metal rota boosts or on weekends the 34GTT white coupe with GTR wing and BBS wheels.

Must put a SAU sticker on one day!

yeah that's the one. used to live on rifle range road across the road from my grandparents place. i think the guy who owns it works at ford/nissan/mitsubishi.

yeh i used to spot that every morning too on the way to work

Think i followed blackers for a few minutes heading towards 7eleven on the morayfield road, hell no i wasn't waiting 3 times for those lights before i could go. they are a pain in the ass

I moved to Toowong last Tuesday and haven't seen any Skylines around the city at all. Then I went to Sunnybank today and saw heaps. Best two - a very clean looking silver R33 GTST coupe at Sunnybank Shopping center and an R34 GTT sedan with a chunky URAS bodykit - MRR34.

    • @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 👇🏾
