I my self have owned a few cars over the years, i go through my photo's and think i should of kept that car but there's a few i wish i never bought in the first place. the car i wish i still owned was a 1974 corolla ke20 it had a 1.8 2TGE turbo couldn't beat it for power to weight.

my 4 Door R32 GTS-t...it was stock...i sold it because i thought it needed "too much work" and wanted to get into a 180. It had no rust, chassis was a little bent, but not bad, and the interior just needed a touch up...apart from that it was great...tein shocks, $1100 JVC cd/dvd player, stock motor except it was running 11psi...it was great...

then i rushed selling it to buy an s13, which i now regret so much

Mk 1, 2 door escort, stright, bright red, gold simmonds and no rust!

mine were silver hotwires with white wall FAT tires. was a Mk1 1972. fitted a 2L pinto though with webbers.... was a very very mean machine... sold for 300 bucks. :D

A bit of sentiment here...

It was my 1st car; a new Datsun 1600 Nathane Yellow.

Mods incl. a radio/cassette (new back then), chrome wheels, No.1 Pool ball on the gear stick, Weber side draught carbie that made the Capitol Motors Service Engineer go Wow!, blackened back panel, aftermarket centre console, a light in the cigarette lighter.

It'd look great next to my R34 GT-R 2000

Other fond memories incl. Alfetta GTV 1979, Alfa Romeo 164Q 1990, R33 GT-R 1995, BMW 328Ci 1999

    • Hi. This is just my curiosity because iam sure the tuner figure something out...but either way i want to ask. The "problem" is that the Nistune ECU (Stagea FW and RB25DET NEO from Stagea) sees many times the speed than the speedo does(he says the speedo show 120 km/h - correct speed and the ECU shows like 510km/h ) I told him that this car/tranny getting speed from rear diff. If iam not mistaken the RB25DET NEO "need" to see tranny speed sensor? (my tranny has the plug for it). So couple of "question" If he connects/wire the speed sensor to the tranny...are the signals gonna intervene and if...what if he disconnects the rear diff one and the speedo stops working? Or the "new" sensor from the tranny "take over" and will not going need the one from diff? As i said i know he figure/get that done...iam just curious to know what are the solutions 🙂 
    • Your IACV is set to idle too low. You need to adjust it via the screw Duncan mentioned. From memory it should be 650rpm with the valve electrics unplugged. What is it trying to idle at with the IACV plugged in?
    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion 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. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
