Yes, our 2rismo has scored the top job for zoom magazine. The publication is undergoing a re-vamp with a name change and some staff recruitment which includes Adrian to head up the new team.

well done mate...BTW...ive got a few Red R Racing machines you might be interested in. :D

Thanks Pauly. Rumours get around in this scene faster than if my missus was telling her girlfriends!!

It's true that I am leaving Extreme Magazine to take up a new position and even though it's only a little while away, I just can't wait to get stuck in.

I've been reading this mag forever and I'm wrapped to be a part of it. Tough, turbocharged cars that go hard. Right up my alley!

To think I only just stopped buying it because I got sick of wall to wall rotary powered drag cars.

Maybe it can return to its old eclectic self with the technical content reinstated...........

i used to love the old 'backyard tech' type mods etc.

totally!

can't really say why, but rotaries just dont do it for me

f*ck yeah, bring back the 'backyard blitz' features

been reading this magazine for forever. congrats man

i remember the boost controller they made with a knob off an old stereo, air hose from a fish tank and some no.8 fencing wire. It was put together using a ball pein hammer, an allen key from a flat pack kitchen and a tube of silastic.

ahh those were the days.

yeah there was some good shit floatin around. do you reember an article on the blue stanza that was converted to methanol? man that thing was dodge as f*ck, but it ran low 11's from memory, fuel pump was a mechanical item off an ice cream truck with random holden water pump parts crammed in to make it work lol

Awesome news ;) I might start reading Zoom again....What will the new name be?

"Backyard Bob's Best Boosted Bits" i think.

What about the mad electric Supercharger made from the impeller off an old Simpson washing machine hooked up to a Valiant wiper motor fed by 2 dolphin torch batteries with corrugated pool hose piping...those guy's were nuts!

    • @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 👇🏾
