Yeah, but people keep throwing up 200hp figures for the Paul Newman which is bs... if that has 200hp my fj20 must have 300hp lol

Careful Adam,

You might be accused of being blasfamous, after all, my Paul Newman has a lot more than 200. LOL

Adam,

I think they quick, just depends on the comparison.

My mates in Adelaide tell me there is a Paul Newman down there, that after caning it's ass off, it does 15's at the 1/4.

Hold that thought for a moment, 15.??? second 1/4 time and have some consideration for our own aussie muscle. The 5.7 litre Monaro only manages 17's for the 1/4, off the shelf.

Compared to that! the Paul Newman is pretty quick eh!!!

Sams IS the Adelaide Paul Newman, its standard apart from a turbo that is apparently a "triple hybrid", filter and exhaust. Its bloody clean though, and it sounds sweet, but its slow. Sam reckoned that my car was noticably faster when he went in it... which is when it had a huge boost leak. And now that mine doesnt have a leak, its much quicker

How many are there in Australia now? When Ivan was advertising his he said there was only three... his, Pauls (now Sams) and another one that was in either Sydney or Melbourne

I still doubt that the Newmans had 200hp standard, or even much more than 145.

Shit, my Charade GTti must have been a monster... stock except for the exhaust it ran a 16.7 (granny launched... just drove it normally (ie sloooowly) off the line) but at 85mph lol

BTW Sam lives in the house behind mine :D

i think you'll find that the ones ghostrider and i are talking of are not STANDARD and you are on the mark with your stock power figures give or take! :D

you might be able to answer a question though! were the paul neumans released in 2 or 4 door version as my mates is a 4 door and he seem to think they were only ever released in the 4 door version??

hey all...i just bought a r30 hatch for $200....im gunna stick the motor/box(5speed) into my 1.2litre 2wd hilux.......can the ecu be modded or do i have to buy an aftermarket computer? i want to put headers and a cam in it.....btw the motor and box are A1

oh....bummer...how far can u go with these motors before needing to change the ecu? im guessing head work and pipes is about it?

if anyone read the ZOOM engine review then according to them the ECU can be played with?? but i think the problen is finding someone that has bothered with these engines here in OZ.

the trouble with the vane airflow meters, well in my mates case was that they flip wide open under boost and go to 9:1 A/F ratio.

thats why you see so many pulsar Et's blowing chaff

i think from memory you can basically adjust idle, mid and high mixtures

took my car to work with me on saturday, i know the trouble i could have been in, 40k round trip, all and all she went like a dream, one miner problem, no indicators!! it was something i had to do and was not disapointed!!

Fun arent they :)

I drive mine the looooong way to uni, go up through and across the hills instead of just cutting across town.. only takes 5 minutes longer, and its a hell of a lot more fun :evil

the thing is with mine its unregistered and i'm running an rb20det so its fun and illegal!! :sadam:

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
