lol i was thinking so I could see where I was going when I flip the car. lexan on roof won't be clear, otherwise I'll ahve the sun blaring into the cabin.

Ooh is that new etched primer !?! ? :(

yeah fresh coat :) lol stops it turning into a rust bucket. its just iron/steel primer. its all gotten come out before i etch it, easily removable to.

wait s14 drifta lost his licence?! how why when?

yeah duno when, but ant u suppose to ring me?

shan, get one of the boys to tig in a piece of sheet, fill the sunroof up.?? or u doing complete roof swap?

complete roof swap, piss easy on an s14. only spotwelded in. i'll probably just use a thin composite on it. maybe get a roof scoop goin lol. hmmm might see if i can find any square pieces of carbon fibre.

why wouldn't you just use the right gauge wire n run em straight into the plug in the first place instead of soldering?

did a lil work on the S14 today and untacked the roof skin. thinkin of just replacing it with lexan... hmmm. failing that i'll just put a non sunroof roofskin on the s14 and swap the sunroof over to the ceffy.

racecars don't need sunroofs... right?

My roof is comming out

we're hero racers

why wouldn't you just use the right gauge wire n run em straight into the plug in the first place instead of soldering?

exactly. or use bullet plugs for that extra resistance loss. LOL

hey josh, so much for test fitting that hoop.

Don't hate me.

I was going to call, but forgot. I'll buy you flowers.

Should have sent me a txt!

dunn have ur number.

but flowers make everything better.

sorry did not bother to reply to you cause i was rushing out to see transformers 2 with my missus..

loved it.. anyways..

can always do what nismoboy is thinking.. i believe somewhere is selling carbon fibre bits that slot right into the sunroof thingy..i was thinking about it too but i dont know about price though..

infact you could also leave it as normal and put superfunhappysliders vinyl on it so when your in midst of rolling and flipping the bird people will also notice the awesomeness of superfun! hehehe

wow astro 2.5 hrs late..

not looking good for ur first day lol..

hope your hands are warm when you arrive.. your gonna be cupping boy :) arrrr :)

duuude im feeling sick as a dog :)

ill be able to cup tmr *fingers crossed*

im just going to chill today - n see u guys tonight

    • @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 👇🏾
