How goes it everyone, I'll post up a quick intro but it seams(judging by looking through the other posts) that nobody replies in here unless you've got a set of boobs :banana:

Names Benno, from the gold coast QLD, I'm a mechanic, recently sold my pride and joy that i built from scratch. A 1984 corolla with a worked CA18DET, full silvia suspension/brakes etc, it was fun but a handful.

Now looking to sell my daily(starlet) and get a R32 project. So I'm looking for a GTS complete or rolling or a GTS-t rolling shell. I've got this project already planned out, nothing new, :puts on flame suit: a SR into a R32. Now i don't like the SR either(they sound like a wet fart), but I'll be building a motor not relying on a stocker and I'm working on Balance and overall weight(don't say "buy a silvia" i hate silvia's) If i can get a said power output from a lighter motor then why not, personally i like the style of the R32 and the suspension geometry shits on a S platform.

so there it is, love it or hate it, let us know what you think.

Cheers

Benno

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
