good to see ur car will be back soon tas. tacio bad luck man, shit happens with such old cars.

my update.

saturday - had to work :P , welder had a family emergency so no go on the guards being installed today, however he test fitted on thursday and they were amazingly good considering he made them remotely.

sunday - got back from driving mrs. / family to the airport. had a go mounting up hydro / dual handbrake setup, looking how best to fit. Had to cut allot out of the centre glove box. Unpicked the handbrake mount off the halfcut, going to weld in so both handbrakes bolt in :) and fitted my water temp sensor, catch can, oil cooler adaptor and afm/bov to motor. Cycled some oil through her as she will be sitting for a bit. Notice in pic i f**ked off the rb25 oil cooler/filter and fitted a rb20 filter adaptor, so could bypass the coolent lines. Now oil soely cooled by my mamoth oil cooler.

Tien Ha suspension tommorrow! looking around! be hardi guess im not sure if i should hunt for super streets and get them revalved and resprung with heavier springs.

anyways astro go ready the events section!

dave and tristan, show us a photo of the oil cooler? i found a whole bunch of trust/ greddy ones.. they vary between 16 and 19 rows but are shit expensive.. thus could go same choice as youj guys..

dave, nice work buddy, its just looking better and better each day!

on wednesday, taking my new front bumper to mates workshop to get it fitted and then get a final quote on the paint job.. fingers crossed

The advantage of the TRUST ones is that they have a thermostat, which allows the oil to get up to temp faster so you are not driving round with cold oil all the time.

I am not sure if those coolers dave and tristan got have a thermostat or not but I am guessing not. And they probably need one, they are f***ing huge

oil coolers don't have thermostats, as I can see. unless its built into the core. Depending on placement of the cooler can assist with temperature. I removed my rb25 standard cooler to also prevent to much cooling. There just your basic justjap jobs. You either pay through the ass for a jap branded cooler or just go mediocre with a generic / Chinese brand and use the brain more and sort problems out urself. September is close approaching... i would of had it in paint by now if the guards had been done 1month ago like they should have. Ignore the temp mounts / pen marks everywhere, took a while to position it all right.

Got home from work today, first unpicked and sanded back the handbrake mounts. And had a play mounting the dual setup.

Major photos:

Thanks Tacio matey for tonight you are a life saver.. pizza's tasted great gf even loved the pasta!

picked up the coilovers.. the fronts are pretty much brand new rofl.. but has different camber tops on gonna remove them later.

tommorrow night! braided lines!

dog c*nt mongrel po po tonight gave me 3 demerit points and $80 for turning right at a dont turn right between 4-6

yeh it was 545 - but still he was a dog

heres a little bit;

"howd u miss the signs buddy"

- "i was running late for work"

"there are 4 signs"

- "i didnt notice im sorry officer"

"mate u shuda noticed the signs"

-"yep well i didnt did i"

"mate how many signs do you need"

f**ker!

ugh

1point for 6months :|

/rant

(awaits mad keyboard warriors - "ur a dog", "ur a hoon", etc etc)

    • @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 👇🏾
