Inner West Crew Whoretown (toowong/st Lucia/kenmore/indooroopilly And Sometimes Sunnybank?)


Recommended Posts

So I just read back through the thread for curiosity's sake. I've been here since page 102, and met most of you fools on the 23rd of July last year. Easy to remember - it's my mother's birthday.

mmmm i have a turbo on hold for my rb25....

Also spotted john's resume in my bosses email inbox this afternoon. Hope for a call up soon

What kind of guitar do you have? Or are you getting?

We should jam :(

Currently have an Ibanez SZ320 tuned to drop C or drop B, and a shitty gibson 175 hollow copy that plays like a dream. Used to rock a Mesa single rectifier + current era marshall 1960 angled cab, but sold that when I bought the skyline... been kicking myself ever since :)

So now I've got an ashton solid state piece of shit 100w combo which does the job for practicing... but definately looking at getting a marshall/mesa/randall 50w tube head as soon as I can afford.

Man.... I really wanna rock a 7 string again. Used to have one... for BONE CRUSHING HARDCORE DOWNTUNING GOODNESS RAWWWWWRRRRRR

I know the kicking onesself feeling. I sold my VOX amp and Chris Cheney Gretsch to fund my Skyline. Would much rather have kept them and not had the car :(

The gibson copy sounds sexy btw :(

Oh it is... plays nicely and that's the reason I bought it from cash convertors... as soon as I picked it up I knew!

Need to swap the pickups out though, it sounds like ass when plugged in hahaha. Nah it's not TOO bad, I've got my preset banks set up in my boss gt so I use a couple of banks for the SZ, and a couple of banks for the 175 with different EQ settings blah blah blah.

f**king mustangs. I mean skylines.

just been catching up on epic convo from last night

@john, flutters are awesome

@tas, learn to speak english and don't knock my guages you brand whore

@skins, don't buy tas' 86 it will break

nudges ARE for fags

boring

boring

Dr Pepper is shit

boring

GO TO BED YOU FAGS!!!!!

P90s FTW :)

@ martin

sunday, bring cash and car trailer

it might be a rusty POS though...

lol martin so u was actually gonna read up on it :)

scrollbar was like two pixels big. HAD to see what epicness went down

And you say *I* have too much free time...

P90s FTW :)

Yeah for sure... maybe some EMGs in the SZ. Droooooooooooool.

See, now I'm gonna start spending my skyline money on guitar stuff again. The world has achieved equilbrium :(

tristan its a dirty VG30 turbo. Cheap enough for me and will make reasonable power, enough for me anyway

yeh vg will be nice man :)

nom nom

yo sourced me some abs lines and master - wooop woop, pick them up on the 6th! just $50!

    • @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 👇🏾
