I was driving into city for training last night and while I was on victoria road way before getting onto Anzac bridge, this marone R33 comes up besides mine.

Anyhow, it looked pretty good (I didn't realise skylines had such road presence)..Anyway, he took off and a while later, after I crossed Anzac bridge and took the second exit and just turned onto harris st. there he was too! so we were driving down harris street - him in his marone R33 and me in my black R33 line abreast like a motorcade or something. I thought it was pretty mad! People are looking and we get to the lights, then I think he was expecting me to take off and I was thinking the same about him, and we both ended up moving off heaps slow :) anyway that was fun

cheers

sounds like 'AARON' to me!

Its always SLOW that wins the race :) haha

black r34 gtt on Newline Road again this morning. Waved.

Shonen replica, but with the stock rear wing and dark wheels.

damn it another shonen replica.....there getting pretty common these days..........time for a drastic change me thinks.....

I spotted a "Shonen replica" today too, outside my building in Parra, about 10am. He was heading up Charles St, towards Philip St and the RiverCat terminal. Black R-34 with white wheels, nice exhaust note.

Didn't get to catch the plates as I was too far away at the time.

spotted a black 32 that was crawling along in traffic behind me from the m2 tolls to pacific hwy, where he turned off :) :wavey: this was at about 7:30-8am! i was hazard lighting you but you didn't respond :( and i wasn't going to open my windows in the rain! :P

MSP i think you are the only R33 owner i hear that waves to R32's.B)

I see atleast 5-10 R33's a day in my 29kms of driving and i have never seen a wave yet.

I don't think most R33(Taxi) owners know that an R32 is a skyline.

haha, the only waves I have gotten from ppl in 33's have been a forced wave cos I waved first.. other wise they just give blank stares as they pass by

the thing is that a lot of randoms buy r33s too that arent on the forums/dontcare/uninterested in other skylines..

they just buy it coz 'yee itz a skyline maens and it goes fast maens'

only the real enthusiasts appreciate skylines enough to acknowledge other skylines on the road :)

ps: R32s own.. that is all!

    • @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 👇🏾
