oh cool

never had a stalling problem, the stock clutch was slipping when he bought it, so in went the nismo item :P

he bought it with 93kms so he did abit under 10,000kms in 1 year of ownership...which is pretty good considering i did over 20,000kms LOL

series 3 (especialy 1998) fetch a higher price

maybe cos its the very last ones to be made before the R34 started rolling out.

series 3 has a better interior in my opinion, the red in the seats and door trims looks hot

not to mention the series 3 gearbox :D

yeah, for series 3 - gearbox synchros were revised.

some of the easier tell tale vspec signs are a finned diff and an active LSD light in the dash. on a side note - vspec weighs a bit more.

vspec is also a tad lower and technically is meant to be a few thousand more :D

Main differences between series 1 and series 3 are:

- Xenon headlights

- Deeper/fatter lower lip

- Red stitching on interior seats/door trims

- Right hand rear tailight has a red fog light in place of reverse light

- Stronger synchros in gearbox

- KR4 silver was not available in Series 1

- KL0 silver was not available in Series 3

There may be more but those are the most common...

ahh sweet mines a series 3 then :)

i got the:

-xenon headlights

-red stitching

-d/s fog light instead of reverse light ( switch found lower left of steering wheel coloumn )

-front lip is fatter and long ( scrape up my drive way :D

- mines in black ( heard rare color to find on series 3's but i dont know )

- red stitching on steering wheels

- hole next to p/s front blinker ( which KR4 said is for oil cooler )

i think thats all. but cheers on the syncho information i didnt know about that :)

hey KR4-GTR when u fitted the pfc.. how much power gain did you get from it ???

someone told me depending on safe tune or heavy tune it can vary from 30-50 kw gain

now i dont believe that.. but seeing as u have just fitted yours, do you know how much it would be

i have 217kw at all four wheels

- cat back exhaust

- apexi air filters

- boosted to 14 psi

and now the pfc..

im getting it tuned next week at Gas Motorsport.. or do you guys know anyone better then this in the sydney region

cheers

hey mate, it was 178kw @ wheels originally before tune and power fc.

now it is 222 @ wheels @ a SAFE tune - 12psi. i told them i wanted economy over power.

would be interesting to see what you got if you were to put a power fc in.

post results please!

on a side note, just filled up again - i didnt leave it until it touched the E but i did the math and i would have gotten around 470 to the full tank, daily driving.

after research, i've also learnt that a r33 gtr tank is 65 litres. a r32 gtr tank is 72 litres! :)

hey mate, still around 400+ on average with a few boots. depends how hard you push it though of corse.

driving very sensibly - 470 to the tank.

hope this helps.

cheers.

      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?

      R34 N/a And R34 Turbo (gtt) Transmission.. Uh, Problem.

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      @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

      By RB25inside · Posted

      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?

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
