Hi guys,

Well, it's time for 100k km service, my stagea is almost there.

I wonder if people can recommend a good workshops for me, pref. close to where I live (around Freo) or where I work (West Perth).

Osborne park might be considered too :wave:)

PS another big question - should I change a water pump "just in case" ? :)

Cheers

yes

change water pump without a doubt

I paid for mine to be done when I first got the stagea, then 2yrs later it went again

Im pretty sure the company who did the work 1st time didnt change it, & over charged me a hell of a lot.

Needless to say I'll never go back there again.

Get every thing done. ie all fluids flushed, the complete 100000km service including all new belts etc, grease up of all lubricated areas, new oil filter, fuel filter and possibly even new fuel hose, etc etc etc

so its timing belt time hey? are you sure it has not already been replaced?

is DIY an option for you ( to keep the cost down and the fun up )

Timing belt, thats for sure. And, if am afraid, DIY it's not an option, don't even have a proper garage.

Don't let that stop you - it can all be done in a day. There are some fantastic step by step guides on RB25's here on SAU, and with a few basic hand tools you can acomplish heaps and gain a very large sense of self importance.

All my work is done in an open carport. :wave:

Couldnt agree more, take some photo's of complicated gear so at least you can refer 2 them if u get stuck and wonder where this goes etc... The self satisfaction is awesome and gives you more confidence on the next job :wave:

Or, you could host a stagea BBQ and then a few of the guys would be able tocome over and have a poke around if you get stuck with anything.

Seriously though, don't be scared of having a go of it. There is only one unbreakable rule for doing a timing belt, once the old belt is off, if no one turns the motor or cams then it is almost impossible to stuff anything up that can't be easily rectified.

I would be up for that!!! depending on time etc.

you will probably need a puller for the harmonic balancer - but I think you can get that from supercheap or somewhere for not a lot of $$$

and - you do feel remarkably smug for not having taken it to a shop

and at least you KNOW the parts are what you paid for and they actually got installed!

oh and dont forget to " bag and tag " all the parts etc.. those ziplock bags work a treat.

Well, I don't mind to get my IT-hands dirty, changed a head on Falcon, did some work on my old camry's engine. It's a matter of time and security (knowing what I am actually doing :P I got a quota from one workshop, they say it's about 6 hours job, and they know what they are doing. but 6 hours = $500 just for labour, and i could get alot of beer, wine, meat, etc for that amount of money, if I host a BBQ :)

To cut the long story short - I like that bbq idea :P

LOOOOOL! (I can't drink and work at the same time, I have a tendecy to drop oil and crap in my beer without noticing until I take a swig)

Count me in too! Maybe stick up a list of tools you don't have and we can sort out who needs to bring stuff?

Thank you for offering your help, guys :P

I will need the car to be in driveable condition by 15/02, this weekend is too late, I'm aftraid, next one... Err... Company wants me to be in Kalgoorlie on Friday and probably Friday night as well, so I might be be abck on Sat, 9th.

What about Sunday, the 10th ?

In terms of gear - I dont have much, probably just screwdrivers, set of spanners.. couple of hammers, if it counts :P

And if people with the kids want to turn up, it'll be fine as I'd hopefully have my 5yo son running around :)

Another question - what do I need to buy, belts, water pump, etc ? spark plugs ?

had a 100K service done on mine, and i had a new waterpump, all belts, filters, oils, new o2 sensor (i supplied myself), new bearings as well just to be on the safe side.. cost about 1600 dollars including labour. so NOT cheap at all, but i only went down that option because i just got the car and needed a professional to look over it, otherwise BBQ party FTW.

      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?

      R34 N/a And R34 Turbo (gtt) Transmission.. Uh, Problem.

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      @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?

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
