Saw a blur of white lightning (read 34 four door) over Woronora Bridge yesterday morning.

So quick must be abobob.

No fair, I only put it in neutral and float down the hill. :) Sorry I missed you Drew.

I've actually waved and got a few waves back lately but forgot them all. I'm a space cadet. Training starts Tuesday.

Spotted a R32 - looks like it was painted in the Midnight Purple.. at berowra last night at about 5.30pm.. he was heading down to do stage 1 of the old pac by the looks of it...

Spotted JDM-33R on Delhi Road for like the millionth time

Hello again. I tried to flash and wave at the same time as having a ciggarette but it just went all spastic

You wont be spotting JDM33R for much longer. The line is up for sale or swap for a Stagea

Planning for a family already!? :)

nah..it's for a super secret small business I'm trying to put together. I'll post details as soon as the idea starts becoming reality. I'm sure it's a service that alot of you could use :(:):wave:

thats prob selwyn his not on sau

Spotted:

ASY28G dark purple R32 with green P plate on Pac Hwy around Wahroonga at about 12.30am - waved and got a wave back! :)

AQO61R white R33 with CF inserts on GTR wing on F3 around Asquith? (northbound) about 12.45am - waved but nothin back..... :laugh:

The Stagea is great! I have absolutely no regrets, and can't see myself in another car for quite a few years if ever I decide to change. If anything, I'll probably keep this car and buy another. It's great to own a car that's decently quick, practical, and isn't cop or thief bait.

Mine's a series 1 with manual conversion (using a 32 GT-R box), and there's only three things I dislike about it: weight (roughly 200kgs more than an R33); the clutch (if you've ever driven with a heavy button clutch, you'll know what I mean); and the fuel consumption (which I hope to sort with a PFC and tune). I bought it as it is now, the only thing I've done is replace a turbo - still a standard one, but off an s1 R33. The s1 Stagea uses an s2 R33 engine, and the s2 Stagea uses the Neo RB25DET. More info here, if you haven't already seen it!

My exhaust is loud too - 3" from the cat converter back, with a cannon - but I'm getting used to it (finally, after a year!) and I think it's actually getting quieter some how. Even my old man commented on this yesterday...

Can I suggest JDM-34C as plates? lol

:laugh:

    • 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.
