hey guys, just wondering if its something anyone would be interested in, if not i'll probly just keep it as a daily i guess.

82 bluebird, series 1, L20B, 5 speed, ~230,000km's.

bad points:

has some drift damage, main thing is front guards a little scuffed/dented and the indicator is missing. its not THAT bad, but noticable

-needs a wheel alignment, cause i drift it into gutters n shit. everythign under the front is straight (your welcome to check) but, needs an alignment. is still fine to drive, just if you push too hard, you'll get alot of tire noise

- does burn a bit of oil, i just allow for this in the running costs of the car (add about $10 a month).

- no gear knob, last owner cut it off. still not really sure why

good stuff:

- reg till june, and i will sell it with reg, providing you sign that thing that says your responsible for any fines n stuff like that

- locked diff, the single greatest thing, since, and indeed before, sliced bread.

- 4 puck ceramic button clutch, ~ 2 months old, with reciept. very nice to drive with, easy to use, but bites hard when you kick it

- i put a basic cd player in it, so you can enjoy your own tunes.

- bit gutless, but does run really well for what it is. only has a slight miss when its cold, but this hasnt happened lately for a while, and only did it once every 4 or 5 times. again, this was only when it was cold, has always run great when its up to temp

- new rotor button/dizzy cap/plugs semi-major service stuff done a couple months ago

- had an old pizza delivery thing you stick on top that came with it, no signage on it though, i guess you can have it if you want?

not real impressive to drift in the dry, is an absolute weapon on dirt/wet roads. coming out of a VL into this was a massive step up (yeah i know VL's are shit) but its just good fun, and makes learning easier. i see alot of people with nice, drift friendly cars, but they're too afraid to hang em sideways for fear of smashing it. thats not an issue with this car :D

i'll get a pic up later tonight/tmr as i dont have transfer cable for my phone atm.

looking for 1k, i believe its pretty reasonable for what it is.

cheers,

Ben

17's do NOT come with the car.

also, it can still be driven on the street till the 23rd. after that you'll needa clear the defect.

    • 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?
    • @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.
