I wprked with a gay in the city Sat Night that gave out 13 EPA notices and I am positive not one would fail the test. He just EPA every car that was louder than stock. What a joke if you ask me.

whats a pain is even when your car is legal you have to drop everything and make an effort to get it tested and all that to prove it. we should get our money re-imbursed if we pass the test I say and get it deducted from the cop that filed the notice....but thats never gonna happen is it...lol

Honestly, who's bright idea was it to meet in Noble Park and cruise to St. Kilda?? Honestly...that's BS... but you guys should have met somewhere else and cruised to another place...those two locations are like Defect/EPA heaven...sorry to hear fellas.

Yea well i dont see you orgnanising any cruises, its easy to criticise buddy but until you try to organise a big cruise with a large amount of cars you cant talk. I found it to be a very successful cruise and ask the people that came and they will say that they enjoyed themselves. It was only bad luck that this happened to us.

So I guess you could say that the event was a complete success, considering the fact that we met in and cruised to what you refer to as the defect/EPA havens of Victoria, and yet with 30 odd skylines/other modifed cars, not one received a defect or EPA.....That, and the fact that the organiser was at his own meet... :banana:

I live in Prahran and work in St Kilda and drive the 'line every day... been pulled over for a RBT once in 5 yrs... police around here have more important stuff to do and they are very understaffed so don't usually hassle drivers that much... other than the standard booze buses on Fri/Sat nights which is fair enough

far from defect heaven

fark... what a pain in the ass... I did get a breatho a few weeks back on Dandy but it was just before Chaddy

I can deal with booze buses as I totally agree that pissed people shouldn't be driving... random EPA's like what happened to the boys on their cruise and random defects are another thing entirely :(

I also live down this side... in South Yarra. For the last few months I've driven in St Kilda and Brighton almost every day during the evening, spotted a few undercover cops, but have never had any hassles at all..

My exhaust is fairly loud but I didn't get anything in the mail. I think they were just picking on the skylines.. because the Stagea and Corolla didn't get EPA'd either. :P

      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.
