so, i bought this car a couple of months ago, with the idea that it would be the next project car.

its going to be a track only car and i have de registered it.

first things first, up on the dyno to have a look.

190rwkw on stock everything, not to bad.

then after saving up for a while ad working out what i needed and what i wanted i took the car to the shed, and took it apart.

i bought a new turbo, manifold, computer, injectors, coils, and a rolling dyno tuning program, and im in the process of putting all of that on to see how it goes.

(yes my girlfriends sister had a party in the shed)

and to the inside, i ripped out all of the interior stuff, sound deadening, roof lining, air con, heater, carpet, rear seats, seatbelts, gutted the dash, removed lots of wiring, most of the dash and i am making a custom alloy one.

here are some progress pics.

and tomorrow hopefully get the new dash finished :thumbsup:

so thats my liner so far, ill keep this updated as i do things.

feel free to comment :)

190 stock everything? 33 standard gtst's had about 150-160rwkw stock..... u must have had a boost controller and other stuff... exhaust? I see piping for a fmic and a boost controller/boost gauge in your first engine pic...

wots the turbo?

yeah when i bought the car thats what was in it, and as i live way out west its not just a matter of picking up another box and swapping it in.

the car is going on a train at the end of the year and heading back to brisbane so ill do a man conversion in the new year.

there just isnt the facilities to do it here

on that note, before the car gets back to bris i am stuck with the auto box, how much can they handle stock?

hey mate nice car. what ecu are you running? in regards to auto box i have a vr commodore with a rb25 in it (just a fun little project) with auto and was asking the same question. ive seen 330rwhp with stock auto no trans cooler. i ran a big trans cooler and also got onto MV AUTOS and bought a manuilesed shift kit for r33 auto box. they shift harder and obviously manualised. around $300 i think it was. i am hoping that the box will see above 360rwhp with that setup.

    • 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.
